Looks killer man. Love it. Not a huge fan of the fenders or lack of tails but super clean bay and outside
Nice! I remember seeing your car at bling fling in Lorain ohio
Nice! Love the color, looks like you did great on the paint.
car looks good some advice for future paint jobs if you look at the pic of the hood you can see what appears to be clouds in it thats because there wasnt an even coat of clear applied

I recall the OG, love the new, amazed it's still around.
Thanks everyone.
Seamless-Yeah I remember seeing yours there too. Either orange or maybe even green way back then. That was a fun night. Good times. They put me in the wrong class there. I took first in Import mild instead of being in domestic wild like usual. I think you too first in that class IIRC.
MIllerBilt- Yeah, I know. Its not really noticeable in person though. That was with just one light coat too. I did 2 coast on the bumper to smooth that out, but that ended up being too much pearl for my liking, so the hook only got the one. Mix less pearl if going over carbon. Lesson learned.

I remember you from way back when. Welcome back dude. What happened with the vert shell?
The graphics on the vert were painted on (kandy). It got keyed, so I ended up sanding all the paint off to start over since I wasn't able to ever match the kandy. That was about 8 years ago. I ended up scrapping the vert since it really wasn't in the condition I wanted any more.

Clean car. Only changes I would make is a wing (00-02), and toyota tails.

New one is also auto, which I'm regretting now. I believe its slipping in med boost (10psi+) and doesn't want to shift fast enough to avoid bouncing off the rev limiter. It's prob only a matter or time before I need a new tranny. Not sure if I want to go the expensive route and have an auto rebuilt that can handle it, or do the harder route and do a 5 speed swap when the time comes. You're having issues with your auto at decent boost levels too, weren't you?

4T40E holds up fine for me. 228,000 miles (on trans).

I like it even with all the vents everywhere and the dated wheels! Has its own look goin on.
5 speed swap! wat numbers is it pushing now?
GMR has got nothing on this
Not sure. Haven't been to the dyno yet. I want to get the the track first. A timeslip means more to me than a dyno number. Hopefully this weekend if the weather is good. Then assuming all holds up fine, dyno a little later once I get my boost dialed in where I want it.

Same here. Dyno numbers have such a wide variation. Track times tell how the car actually performs, in a manner that is easily compared with any other track time.

Screw the numbers. How does it feel?
Yep my "fully built" auto died on the dyno after 4 pulls. I managed 328hp out of it before it wouldnt shift anymore in 2 or 3. The car has been sitting ever since, collecting 5 speed parts as we speak. I may or may not finish it, just depends on if I get time.
