I personally think u need a bigger intercooler that thing won't cool anything when u plan on taking ur trip to the sun.

Well i am almost done finishing up my retro. I wanted to get some opinions on the red anb black color scheme, which is what i originally intended, but a silver ring would also look good and OEM. Let me know what you think! Peace

I vote for red & black, makes the front end look alive!

dude I love the look of your car... now that you have the headlights symetrical it looks awesome... it's like I don't even know how to describe it...

the only thing I don't like is how big the front bumper is cut open... it looks unnatural like you ripped the throat out of the mx-3

The black and red scheme is very nice - adding silver accents might be ok since you have silver on the rims and intercooler

Hey, i am contemplating trading my gt3's for these auto x's. I like them alot, but for some reason the tires seem a lower profile (205/50/15) than the one on my gt3's eventhough they are the same size, weird. Anyone have any idea why, is it the width since these are 6.5 and my gt3's are 7? I might just do the trade and keep my tires. Anyways, let me know what you think!!

Before:

After:

Since the new tire combo somehow made my car sit up a little higher, i did a photoshop to show what it would like when the suspension settles down and i get the tires i want damnit!

Please post opinions, as this is a pretty important trade

You definately need the rims to match your headlights - black with a red lip! that's sick! so either paint or trade but make it black and red!

simple questions!
WHERE did you get the turbo
HOW MUCH was the turbo
id you upgrade to cope?

Jteezy · Post by **Jteezy** » July 20th, 2007, 2:21 am

whoops, sorry i havent been here in awhile to answer your question. The turbo is a 57trim hybrid between a precision sc61 and a turbonetics t3. I bought the turbo from a local shop, cant remember what i paid. Im looking at upgrading to either a gt2871R (.86ar), gt3071r, or a gt35r, im nore sure yet.
