    some pretty serious mods. Are you into time attack racing? how much $$$ do you estimate you've spent on parts?

    But I'm getting you weren't focusing on tracking the car.


    P.S. When I clicked on this thread, I thought it was someone showoff their F430 Spyder.

    Don't rub it too much, you'll go blind.

    Lol, I only use the PS2 for Karoke Revolution and DVD movies for long trips. Having passengers play Gran Turismo was too distracting because I couldn't tell if the exhaust sound was coming from my car or the game.

    Nope, didn't build it to be a time attack car. Would have gotten an S2K/Evo for that. I focused on streetability for daily driving weaving through city traffic and the occassional AutoX in CSP class. It's been to a couple car shows/meets, but it's also been on some Beltway Cruises and the Tail of the Dragon. Just calculated 10k in modications (excluding all labor costs except for the alignment & corner balance).

    Quick photoshoot yesterday before it rains for the rest of the week:
