Re: New to site and i figured ide post my ride up
welcome to the boards and you may want to join 60degreev6.com and start reading on these motors
and well first off you'll never get 300 hp out of a 3.1 to start unless you booost the hell out of it and even then you may never reach that goal as they dont allow much air flow due to restrictive intake manifolds and small port heads and to let you so far the most hp out of a well built 3500 is only 275hp n/a that was in a cavy
3400 or 3500 can easily be swapped into your car in a weekend too and start your plat form around the 200hp mark stock

Some fitment issues there huh, side skirts look good, front and rear look like crap, I'm guessing it's not close to being done, destroyed the trunk w/ that spoiler too. Finish er up and it should look good. Hows your engine and trans doin', ya get it all swapped yet?

Re: New to site and i figured ide post my ride up
This thread is amazing! I want to do the same things as you, but I plan on starting with a really clean GTU or Indy! I will most likely prime random parts and leave it that way too. I like the double decker aluminum wings better than yours, but your is nice too! My buddy will make me a huge viynl ninja to put on the sides of the car if I want!!! I want a cherry bomb glasspack with a big chrome tip so it sounds like a V8! I wish APC was still in bidness, they made all the cool stuff!

The grammar and spelling in this thread makes my eyes hurt, along with causing my brain to cry.
