1st Photoshoot New Car
Sunday, July 27, 2008 1:26 PM
Well I'm new here this is my car. It's got a lil bit done to it. It's an 01 w/ a 03 front end swap, eco swapped. It's also turbo'd w/ forged internals and lil bit more. Running about 23psi out of a 60 trim. Anyway on w/ the pics...

















This is just an awesome classy pic I absolutely love it...



And this one is great cuz I guess this car is a bit of a "sleeper"



Plenty more coming...

You know what? The more I look at it, the more I'm liking that front bumper man. Good work.

I think that's the way most are gonna look at it. At first it'll be ugh base front, but then they'll see more pics and how everything kinda flows and have the same view.

Shave the blue Chevy emblem on the trunk. Also get one for the front bumper. Maybe you can get one or make one thats carbon fiber. I think that would look cool with the carbon hood. I really like the way this car is coming out. Wouldnt even know that it was an 01. Great job with the swaps, both the body and engine. I Think i like the way this one looks more than your blue one. IMO

There are 2 things wrong w/ this.

1.) I filled the front bowtie cuz I didn't want it there.
2.) The blue bowtie stays cuz...I SAID SO! Hell when I get a c/f trunk I'm gonna put a blue bowtie on it too. Kinda a rememberance thing.

Some? SOME!?!? I'd hope that would be all sarcasm. It may not be as flashy as a sunfire *chuckles to self* but that's not the point of this car. As a friend of mine once pointed out to me...

So was what I said. Notice the chuckles to self, yeah joking around. Way to jump the gun.

That was my first acciddent EVER! That's in 10 years of driving. I think I was doing pretty good. Another thing, the fire hydrant was like 200 ft off the road in the middle of some weeds. How was I supposed to know it was there. lol

Best I can do for you right now. If all plays out I will either have dyno or track vids after this weekend.

As for restrictions, I have a resonator in there. Most the exhaust is actually the resonator. About 30" of 4" resonator to be precise, about a foot of 3" and a 2.5" downpipe. That's it.

Looks like you need to tear into the drivers headlamp and straighten that projector shroud!
