Hey Guys,
As you know i made a thread of my old car i was building but once i found this i couldn't resist and wanted it. So as you guys can see i sold my White calais turbo for this. Pretty good actually the car has a lot more on it then the car was advertised with so i am happy with that. It drives so day but is a lag monster with the Gt42r on it but once on song it hums along good but the car was advertised with 600rwhp but me personally i don't think it has that much atm i think it was just a happy dyno i think. The body of the car needs a lot of TLC especially the holds on the car. The interior is in great nick just needs a tidy up and some bits and pieces, I will get a list of things i need for the car and if people have anything that can help or want to sell it would be greatly appreciated. So anyways as for the the drive line i have a lot of parts i am going to fit, and then screw the boost up in her. I will keep you guys posted with everything i do and once the car is tuned.
Cars new home...

Will be changing the complete fuel setup so my 1800hp and ID2000's setup and selling the twin x 044 setup and 1600cc that is in it now. So if there is anyone interested let me know

well to be honest i have never dealt with them before, but will call them tomorrow. I am not trying to spend the world i just want to tidy it up, and make it run some good numbers. Trying to get the fuel gear done in the next 2 weeks and get it off to get tuned. Going to be putting 30psi and E85 in it then see how she goes.
