Transformation Complete! Photoshoot by IND

Saigon · 08-06-2012, 11:12 PM

looks really good, let's see some more interior work done (lci navi conversion, lci brushed aluminum trim to match your exterior/contrast w red interior, msport steering wheel trim, msport ebrake handle+shift knob. Quick question, do you hear your turbos spool louder even with catted AR DP's? I was running catless but the noise was too loud for my taste but the turbos sounded awesome, thanks for input!

zz10 · 08-08-2012, 11:58 AM

nice!

I was hoping you go for the red-Y-cover for your wheel to match the centre red ring!

Craig@SupremePower · 08-08-2012, 12:41 PM

great suggestions - the interior is pretty tame for sure, I'll probably look at more interior mods next year. The turbo spool is still noticeably louder over stock with the catted DP. It was one of my first mods and I noticed the improved sound right away

V1's are okay, in hindsight I should have gone with the V2's for the reasons you mentioned especially since I track 5-10 days a season

Thanks! I might have to raise a bit to protect the arkym lip, although I can't tell you how many threads are left it can obviously be done with the V1's - no rubbing!

Thank you - running 265/30-19 in the rears, I love the PSS, best street tire hands down! 10/10 in the dry and 8/10 in the wet

However, the stock shifter looks out of place in that interior shot. Any plan for that????

I would love to do OEM performance SSK with alcantara to match the steering wheel, probably my next mod

Love it<3

no need to sell your wheel - an upholsterer (sp?) should be able to color match. My wheel originally had the blue stripe, and we just dyed the leather stripe to match!

tshoww · 08-14-2012, 12:42 PM

the only thing I would change is a darker tint other then that it looks awesome

Otruba_843 · 08-14-2012, 11:29 PM

Kirk Tome · 08-14-2012, 11:46 PM

panicos81 · 08-15-2012, 03:37 AM
