only pre FMIC so in at 400 BHP which I now run 450 +

....

note: when I pass the yellow MINI he is full throttle... that's the diff between 300 and 400

... he's parked!

I had stripes back then too

... I am planning to get some more video... but I dont have a video camera right now... however I do some work with a studio that has plenty of equipment... so that should be fun when I get some time

300 HP mini video...

now I have this!

ok enough of that... back on topic...

from day one with my car it was a modified kit cause I knew where I wanted to be in the end... so we built it that way... the FMIC is the last thing I did... a year ago now...

there's nothing to give away... what I did isnt' magic...

air filter.... nope... Air horns yep!

from a F355 WOO!!

Very nice setup

Makes me want one

Wow! I've had that video for ages! Its what got me talking to a few of you guys on NAM especially Trickle about the turbo installs and why the kits arent really as bolt on as they seem.

Does it ever worry you having no crash beam?

it's only a crash beam if you are crashing...

heh... but no... there is the same amount of metal there now... prolly more... it's just in the form of an intercooler now...

honestly mine was pretty straight forward... Trickle had some issues cause of the kit he chose... not to point fingers... just that they are not all created equal... and he has delt with some more serious issues... due to many things... where as I have had none...

well I went out again... this time during the day so the road was warm...

... and I also heated up my tires.... I was pretty constantly able to repeat with in .02 ish of.... are you ready for this.... 4.62 seconds!!! there was still some tire spin issues but ohhh man!!... the best time I ran was 4.35... but I don't want to be greedy so I didn't use it in the average.... it's so funny what a lil traction will do...... I really need to get a video camera... I think there is more in it... I still want to get some proper rubber on this car I think I can get consistently in the low 4s

so you buy that plane ticket yet Paul?

EDIT:

also I run 215/35/18s with the 04 longer GB
