Lol, like I said, sometimes I just wanna get out and go- especially when I'm running late for work (always).

Not to mention it's something I can easily fit in the place where the clock was that I took out since it's dead. And it's more bling.

I'm going for a conservatively blingy interior, if that even makes sense... At all...

I would put a boost controller or something in there but I'm not looking to up the boost right now on stock injectors and old turbos.. Bad idea. And I'm not paying 150 bucks for a new clock.. f**k that.

It's a good looking functional device that fills the void of where my clock used to be. I'm not complaining. It also doubles as a Voltmeter, something I desperately need.

Ok possibly scratch the Turbo Timer. Probably gonna buy some catless testpipes from a guy for the same amount i'd spend on the turbo timer. I'll take sound and performance over convenience any day :twisted:

Not to mention my pipes are pretty rusted out lol. I figure I'll just swap the pipes in and out when it comes time for emissions every year. I only have to do it for another like 4 years then I'm exempt :D

It looks so good, but I also can't help but think it is a saturn at first. However, it is awesome.

I can't imagine all the 1990's Mustangs that it has smoked.

Haha I hear ya on the saturn thing. I see them sometimes and the headlights just remind me of the Z.

Here's 2 pics for now, only 1 of the exhaust. I haven't had a chance to clean her up yet and take pictures/video. Will do ASAP though.

The exhaust sounds REALLY good. It's surprisingly deep for coffee can mufflers lol.

I hate the new Texas plates too. I liked the old ones better :(

At some point I'm going to get vanity plates... Just dunno what I want.

Now I just gotta figure out why I'm leaking fuel. Either pooped out injectors or not sealed into the fuel rail right. 6mpg sucks lol.

I'm thinking it's time for some high-flow injectors. 8)

This is actually one Japanese car I'd rock. :lol:

1600cc injectors. do i get a prize now!?

that is alot for injectors though. my buddy with the mr2 is trying to get 1200cc injectors and i thought that was retarded high. 1600cc sounds like a crap load of fuel but i guess not for something twin turbo'd.
