That's a neat mod (modding Lindsey's mod - lol!).


I will probably do the same thing. Lucky for me, when I had the car re-painted, the body shop painted the Lindsey headlight cover and re-painted the OEM cover at the same time. So, there is a color match between the two. I will have the NACA ducts "matted" to my OEM headlight cover too.

I started a tread on it so you can see how it turned out... let me know if you cant find it and I will bump it.

Lart, Jeremy is right about that car. It's been around for more than 5 or 6 years now. I've seen it in person at Chris' shop and it is a great race car but not a great street car. Takes a bit to get going. I caught it getting on an entrance ramp onto the 10 freeway in Phoenix. By the time it kicked in after the lag I was so far ahead of him I had to brake hard to let him catch up. After it spools it's relatively perky as it had a real hard time keeping up. The person who has or had the car also emailed every single person that bid on my car stating they could have that one for a hell of a lot less than mine. He priced it at 35k then. That was last April or May. Jerk. Offer less like Jeremy said. I bet he'll bite. I just don't thing you'd be happy with it. Sorry about your car.On another note, I probably think my car is more special than it is because it's mine but I got a high bid of $46,000 dollars early this year without even getting into details on what's been done to it. Done right by the right builder, our cars can get a pretty penny. If I go to the auction in Scottsdale again this year, I guarantee I'll get more.

GT25 compressor - and he says its the fastest
That is some funny stuff!!!!!

450 crank HP turbo - and he ain't getting anywhere NEAR all of it. He is lucky to put 330 RWHP. ****ing joke.
Ted would have to give him a 30 second head start with stage 2.

Just curious about the damage to the car, in the pics. it showes only rear damage and broken hatch are there any other damaged areas? A good doner rear and a good body man could easly fix the damage in the pic. I an not in Cali. but I know of four good 44's in junkyards here in Western N.C., surly there would be mor in your area. Just my .02.
