Well done... well done indeed. I'll literally **** myself if I can make those numbers off my Black.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the paint job cost? Been looking into it for mine.

 

I have before as ive used their dyno to tune the car. Why do you ask? have you seen it there in the past?

 

I might have. I would be there all too often during the summer with my passat. If you ever left it there, instead of just going for a day to use the dyno, I probably saw it.

 

I've only used it about twice.. I was on their youtube blog when it made 453whp but that was about 3 or 4 years ago.. That was on a FP Red and 93 pump with Meth.

 

Beautiful car man, loving the wheels and paint. What size are your tires?

 

Gilbert I love what you've done with the car! I remember talking to you at the JDM Chicago meets and you hated your silver. lol Congratulations on the baby boy my friend! He'll be a Mitsu fan for life growing up in your hands. How's the carputer treating you thus far? Any new updates?

 

I Didnt read ur whole thread
but how tall are you that u need a pillow!? I had to use one too. I got my seat rails adjusted so i dont need em anymore.

 

Hey man i love everything about your car!.. I'm working on getting my car there.. Looks amazing though absolutely great job on the build. I really wanna modifiy an evo 8 bumper like that.. its probably my favorite bumper i've seen. good luck with the car!

 

It's actually a combination of a few things that I use that cushion..

1. With leather seats that cushion creates the right amount of friction between my *** and the usually easy to slide SSL seats.

2. I learned to drive in Vans and big cars and it's psychological as I'm used to seeing my road from a higher perspective. I don't like the steering wheel anywhere close to my eyes.. and I can't lower the steering wheel to low or my knee will hit it while bending it to push in the clutch.

3. I am somewhat short 5' 6" but nothing out of the ordinary.

and the most important reason..

4. My dad is a upholster and he made it for me.. He had one in his van as it really does make the long rides much more comfortable and I kind of like being just like my dad. Call it silly but it's more of memory that I know he's always with me. (P.S. he hasn't passed but I am very close with him.).

 

Thanks, i'm not going to lie to get that bumper like that with the strength it has was not easy.. Make sure you go to a great shop. One little bump with a cheap shop and it will crack.. Make sure they re-inforce it.

 

Sweet.. I am honored to be asked to be in the Spark Tech Showcase..

Advertising aside, these coils really did greatly help all the misfires issues I was having.. I highly recommend them.

 

They are 18 inch.

 

It wasn't cheap.. I think in all I paid about 6K, (Keep in mind, this is not your local body shop paint job.. This someone who spent 4 months prepping, and taking the entire car apart.. even parts you'll never see he painted.. Wherever there use to be silver paint, there is now quartz gray paint.) Also then factor another 1.5K for a full clear bra treatment.. The entire front, fenders, half of the sides and lower rear bumper have a clear bra to protect for paint chips.. It's also some new type of clear bra that repairs itself by leaving it out the sun for a day.. Awesome but expensive stuff.. My logic is.. why pay that much for a paintjob is rock chips will eat it up within a year.. might as well do it right and protect my investment.

 

interesting!! I wish i was 5'6

 

So good! Nice and simple on the outside with great power
