I saw 30 hp swings on the mufflers alone.

That looks like a home made Zork!!!

Mine shoots 3 foot blue flames out the single exhaust...

They look like regular Carrera wheels painted black.

ZLP,

Where did you get your straight pipe? Mine is functional, but not as pretty yours. Fabspeed was like $350 for one. Too much,

ZLP, it looks like your running leaded gas?

By the way people say the straight pipe is really loud and vs. the right muffler it's not any more performance when dyno tested.

Jim, I bought this one from Chris at Powerhaus. It is all SS and awesome quality and I'm sure he can beat Fabspeed's price

Steve, I drive my car to work, school, and around town. I do not mind the sound at all but it is a lot louder than any muffler. It is like driving a 935 around(literally).

Brent, from the lightness of the exhuast you would think I am running race gas, but I am not. My car is very rich and always has a small blue flame coming out the pipe(you can only see it at night). I think the color has something to do with the heat of the exhaust(it gets glowing red when I am having fun) and the fact that it throws flames everywhere. I did find it odd though.

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!!! I just got home from a night of good times. I am so lucky to have my b-day fall on such a fun holiday. Well, and the fact that it was my 21st!

I love the black wheels, nice job. How much was it to get them painted?

I might get my turbo twists painted black, I can always paint them gray again right.

Is the all white wing just the normal wing painted?? I would like mine to be all red.

Ian,
It really depends on the shop you go to. I know people who can paint at a reasonable cost without going through the main shop... You can have wheels done for a few hundred.

The wing on my car, is actually a Ruf wing designed to house an extra large intercooler. Not the prettiest of wings, but the one which offered the most air to the intercooler.. Performance was the goal, not aesthetics..

I called around some paint shops and no one said they could do it. Is it a special process to paint the wheels?

They may use special paint... Have you tried calling Wheel Enhancement? They can do it for you, but well. They can also fix curb rash, straighten minor bends etc...
