Bought the car in Summer of 2007 for my first car. It had just peaked 100k and was completely stock when I bought it:

Then I went to making a mesh grill and installing foglights:

I didn't have much money, so went the route of painting the wheels rather then buying new ones:

Wasn't too happy with how the red came out, so ended up painting them all anthracite.

Next was IPD's sidemarkers and clear corners:

About this time I ran off the road while doing some regrettable drifting in the rain. Busted the belly pan, curb rashed a wheel, and left the bumper hanging. Spent the weekend fixing all these things and then I got a good deal on a 940 wing and free decor panel, so painted both of those flat black to match my fading bumpers and slapped them on:

Got two new cars, an 1800E and ES parts car so the 940 was put on hold for a while:

Next I got a VDO boost gauge and made my own pod on the steering wheel cover:

My car was hit by some girl at my school in her '09 VW Bug Convertible and they sped away. It scraped the rear bumper up and moved my car up a foot, while it was in park! So I fixed the scratch and painted the bumpers with Krylon Fusion:

Before

After

Located some Mille Miglia II's for cheap ($200) and put them on with some expensive Michelin's to replace my old Adhara's:

Got some 960 tails:

Reminds me of my car just burgundy instead of green. Mine may be getting a face lift pretty soon though I may be swapping the bumpers and painting it.

edit: Bumper swapped and skirts put on. I think I'll eventually paint it laser blue...

Is that a Little Wil antenna?

Sir Psycho · 08-04-2009, 06:48 PM

Now has iPd sways front and rear 25mm.

Old front stock sway

New front sway

Old rear stock sway

New rear sway

spruill244 · 08-06-2009, 12:11 PM

The sways make a huge difference?
Needs more go fast parts.

Yeah it's definitely noticeable but not as nice as a 940 I drove with iPd sways and lowered. Lowering will make a huge difference. Is yours lowered?

Yeah, I'm kind of hesitant about an MBC right now though

Alright cool, I have a front ipd bar coming my way. My wagon is lowered up front 2 coils, stock rear. Im savin for some real sport springs.

Cool, what shocks are you running? I don't know it's running 6 psi right now and would only turn it up to 8-9. How much of a difference would that make? Everything else is stock.

spruill244 · 08-07-2009, 01:45 PM

you can run 12 psi all day.

BoostedSwede · 08-07-2009, 02:54 PM

Yea, get an MBC and run 10-12 psi. One of the best things you will ever do to the car, trust me!

FattMatt805 · 08-07-2009, 03:00 PM

yea 12 psi is chumpchange for a redblock.

Sir Psycho · 08-07-2009, 04:35 PM

I hear these are the best on eBay for $20?

TurbOwner · 08-08-2009, 12:35 AM

You should get this one...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLOX-...#ht_3632wt_914

Find a listing that has buy it now or best offer and you can get them alot cheaper.

RSPRT_740 · 08-08-2009, 10:43 PM

LOL meh id never pay that much for a mbc.What i run on all my cars for boost control is just running a brass T fitting and running a hose on the center connector then making sure its equal length to the rest of it i just clamp on a hose clamp on the end of the line and it'll get you boost from 9psi all the way to 35psi.And no spikes either and all can be done for under $5

You can get prettier ones than that for $20. There are a million and one websites that sell MBC's, just shop around.

Sir Psycho · 08-13-2009, 01:21 AM

How important is it to have a large exhaust when raising the boost? Note the engine and drivetrain is completely stock

spruill244 · 08-13-2009, 01:25 AM

doesnt matter at all

DNAsEqUeNcE · 08-13-2009, 01:29 AM

3" turbo back is very sexy.
