Hey Folks,

My name is Ed, and just scooped up this Wicked White 2005 VIII RS. Seems that the only mod it has is a short shifter and shift knob which is pretty nice.

took these pics today at the Blox Racing meet up







Hope to have some fun. It's my first performance import car. I've only had mustangs (2004 GT, 2007 GT, 1990 LX Hatch 5.0) so still got a lot to learn about it.

Just noticed I didnt cover my license plate in the last pic....ahhh **** it lol

^Thank you sir!

Contemplating getting it dyno'd to get some starting figures. Any recommendations? So far I've called GST Motorsports and FFTEC.

FFTEC doesnt pick the phone up and GST said they'd call me back twice but they dont.

Looks nice. Get some mods before getting a tune. :P

True.

You will save money if you dyno your car with all of your modifications at once or in stages. However, if you can afford it, putting it on the dyno will net you some pretty serious gains. The car is down tuned from the factory due to emissions.

Yeah I'm just going to get base line #s. I don't really plan on doing anything besides a turboback, front lip, and work on the suspension and wheel+tires. It's a DD so reliability is priority #1!

Golgo, got it! I'll check it out! Hopefully I can make it out to some meets.
