That's a sweet setup, I'm happy at the fact that you made whatever you needed yourself. But one thing though, there seem to be alot of rust on the car.

I am pumped to see some numbers, the hood scoop is sorta FCish to me, but maybe thats just me I know an FC one is in the middle, but thats what it reminds me of.

and sorry matlock no racing as of now, I got the car a month before i did this setup so... i have really only driven her for about a month a few days now. Im not sure what direction i want to take the car in... drag is fun but i would like to be able to hang with the best in the corners... i just wish there were some drift events around here.

I didn't want to race you at all....I don't do that it's dumb in a small town. I wanted to just take a ride in it with you. I am hoping there will be some drift events closer to me also....Oni was talking to my friend Ryan about one...maybe PM him.

the hood scoop is not from a Z31, it is all custom done by a friend.

im still breaking in the motor... but the car is soooo nice to drive. Im running open downpipe right now and it is sooooo loud, I have yet to even get a race (not that im looking for one) but i think the turbo wizzing as loud if not louder than the car is enough to keep most people away. :D
