that is insane power on the fp black! you basically have the highest HP LEGIT twin scroll fp black there is in a evo right now.. everyone else who made numbers in the near 700whp range were single scroll'ed.
Awesome.. I didn't know this actually good to know.. Which btw I was looking at your facebook page of your car.. That looks pretty mean to me.. I'm curious about your setup with the FP Black as well.. I also like the speed gauge for the Turbo..

Yea.. I'm at the shootout as a sponsor every year, feel free to pass by my booth and say hello anytime.

Oh one more thing.. your light weight rotors.. how much where they and what's the negative aspect of them.. I hear they wear out quicker than usual.

Thank you for the kind words sir.. I see we share the same tastes. There's also money in aesthetics, but it's subtle and meant to look stock. This is an 03 Evo most people forget it came with the cloth/suede interior. Glad you enjoy it as well as I do.

ya i need to throw more boost at my setup so it mph's higher in the 1/4.. thats all i really care about right now, is getting the slow turd down the track.

i will pm you about the rotors. ya i would of checked your t-shirts out but i felt like i was literally about to die.. i ate something that made me sick from walmart. some kind of gummy candy.

what turbo are you thinking of next? i was thinking of maybe the 3586R myself with a tial vband.

Don't worry glad I was about to at-least meet you in person. In regards to the Turbo.. I guess you'll just have to wait next year to see..

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments.. This car was a lot of hard work/invested hours and money.. I'm just glad I was able to achieve this dream of mine.

As a compliment to the car, I never realized how buying this car would create so many friendships and relationships with wonderful people.. I think that's what I'm most proud of this car bringing to my life. Cheers.

[QUOTE=Jedi_Gill;10368624]You can't think of this.. as money at one time. This was an accumulation of money year after year.. If you add up what you or the everyday person spends on their car you'd be surprised at how much it really is.. I just spend a bit more outside that yearly cost in 8 years to build this dream car..

How much would you say your dream is worth.. to me.. < 60K isn't that bad.

You sir.. make me more comfortable with taking my time and building my car regardless of the money involved. Well worth it at the end of the day.
