![]() Have had this car for a while and felt like maybe I should give info on the project. It's my DD so keeping the engine fairly stock and mainly focusing on modifying the rest to my views.

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...

![]() 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 |

![]() 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.

![]() 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

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