I think he's from Hong Kong(or am I wrong?) so obviously the 3 8's mean "get rich x 3" The number "8" pronounced in Cantonese is almost the same as the word "get rich" so people from HK tend to like these kinds of plates. "168" is another example, which roughly translate to "Get rich all the way".

Princeton are there going to be flames shooting out of one of those pipes? Take a vid of that please

Yeah, maybe excluding the engine and drivetrain! I'm guessing well north of $60k in mods.

Once again... SENSATIONAL! It may not be to everyone's tastes but you have a unique mechanical masterpiece, very well executed and I'm betting, faster than nearly anything else on the road.

I'll bet it'll be a handful to drive so be careful. Remember, you've taken alot of weight off a car that will still generate the same amount of lift at high speeds, without big wings and splitters. If the car is down to 2500lbs or less, which I'm guessing it is from your photos, anything north of 120mph is going to get very interesting... The back end will have a couple hundred pounds of lift at 150 and will probably want to swap ends.

I look forward to dyno figures, a sound clip, and most importantly, DRIVING IMPRESSIONS!

I am thinkin' he hit $20K with the seats, interior mods, body mods, and wheels.

Beautiful work Princeton! Interesting way you set up the dash electronics it's all digital like a Kart.
Lot's of hours pays off! Chris
