*UPDATE 3/7/08 POST #53 on 3rd page!*

Finally got my car back after the accident, the next day already at the shop putting on some of the parts i had laying around.

This is going to be the official build thread that will be updated periodically with new mods when they are installed! Stay Tunned!

Thanks to blacey's Auto sales, for letting me use his lift and a helping hand. There located off of rt. 571 in NJ. All your auto needs, and a u-pick-it junkyard.



Turbo XS mid pipe

TanaBe Sway bars!~
When i bought these the vendor said it will fit on the 2007's, well the metal bracket/brace, didn't fit on the bigger rubber, it was two short. I fab up a litt;e something but i couldn't do the same for the front, so only the rears are on now until I can get a longer brace. I'll call tomorrow.



And some nice shots my friend edvis took.

didn't you get that test pipe from me? if you did i hope you like it =) When does the appearance package come or body kit??

Mikeluvs8

superdon2

sweeeet!! even with that stock external look..
i personally like those oem amber corners and no strakes
just detailing the car makes it stand out better than body kits

Tints are coming this week, and the rims will be installed once i find a decent set of tires, then in a month or so the carbon fiber will start to flow in, like i said just stay tuned =)

nice thing about buying a turboxs catback is it comes with a free catless midpipe.

Razz1

Nice start.

Are you using the mid pipe with the stock exhaust? Does it fit well? Coz I read from the Turbo XS website, they say that it doesn't fit with stock exhaust.

god, i'm in love this color.

It did require some modifications, grinding down the little rivet on the stock catback pipe that goes to the big muffler can on the back so i could twist it to align with the turboxs mid pipe, took 5 mins to mod. nothing major.

Im starting to love it to, when i first got it i wished i got white, but now i like =)

UPDATE 2/4/08

Apexcone 8000k HID's


Install went pretty easy until, I moved over to the passenger side, and i pulled the metal clip to release the stock bulb down instead of in first, and now i need a new headlight housing for it. So, I'm riding with one hid in now lol. Will be done this weekend

Hahaha well the one looks nice....

photo chick

no way. the blue looks wayyy hotter, and probably photographs a hell of a lot better with all the deep shadows the shade gives.

My first 8 was white. I loved it. 2005 and in my opinion it was the best color available at the time. When I first saw a stormy blue driving down the road I fell in love with that color. I'm not saying I'm glad my white 8 go totaled but now that everything has sorted out and I have a stormy blue 2008... yeah... pretty happy guy. This color just looks to insanely good in any light. It really is awesome. At night it looks black and in the daylight depending on the amount of sunlight it looks all kinds of crazy shades of blue.

dancap

hah thanks with my ONE eye wink ha

hmm indeed it does, i am truly starting to love it, but just in the beginning, i didn't no what parts would match and what not but i think i have it all figured out, just time will tell.... well.. and money.. of course

photo chick

yaaaa
i saw it for the first time in a dim parking lot while it was raining and thought it was purple or that someone had it custom painted. but then i went home and looked it up and it's been one of the color choices i'm yearning for for my next car.
