wow, thanks for all the compliments! didnt expect so many ppl to respond so quick.
the wheels are suppose to be hyper black, but it's covered in brake dust. these pics were taken right after a mountain run the previous night.
the turbo kit is a kingpin gt30 kit. the intercooler is a perrin core, but i did the piping with my friend. not quite done yet with all the mods and the clean-up work, but the car's running strong right now at 13 pounds. just cant wait till a tuner is available to tune this thing. really want to see what it can do.
Mod list:
USDM STI Longblock
USDM STI full tranny conversion
Ported TGV valves with match porting on the intake manifold
Reverse intake manifold setup with ac still retained
GT30 turbo
Cusco zero2r
cusco front and rear strut, sways, v-brace
do-luck floor support bars
do-luck subframe
perrin PSRS
04 taillight conversion
i believe that's really all that's worth mentioning. i should have more pics that's cleaner soon. my friend took some more.
as for clubs, there's a 18+ event tonight in the city at Luna Lounge, folsome and 8th. $2 door cover if you're on the list till 12. email me if you wanna get on the list at hpiolit@aol.com
for the 21+, there's a party 2m, friday, at sake lab that's on broadway and kearny, and on saturday, there's an even at space 550. just let me know if you guys are interested in going.
thanks everyone!

very nice car. you must be the guy my friend said he saw when he was at Auto HQ (he has a blue wagon w/ fmic and gold ssr comps) he mentioned you had the kingpin gt kit and a bunch of other mods.
who are you planning to have tune it? I'm running the same kit but on a stock 2.0 block and have been wanting to do the whole reverse intake manifold before i get tuned again. When i last talked to Clark he was telling me they made a kit to make the reverse manifold install easy, did you get this or just do all the work with your friend? Also do you guys weld the piping yourself or just make it then take it to a shop?

oh, i know who you are talking about. i'm not sure who i wanted to get my car tuned yet since no one seems available. the whole reverse intake manifold is a lot of work, it took a lot of cutting, and trial and error. i did the work with just my friend and i. i dropped off the piping at weiss welding in san francisco to get TIG welded. if kingpin makes a kit to make it easy, i guess that's good for them. mike from kingpin came and looked at my car before when it was still in the process of getting the thing to run, so they would probablly make a really good kit since they have a lot of ppl doing R&D.
thanks kingsol for posting those pics! i didnt even know you had pics of my car when it was clean! so nice! haha~!
