here are some pics of a car i worked on a lot for a customer this summer. i don't have any pics of the finished project- but i will keep ya'll updated.

right now we just got done with a brand new t-51 and its break-in period. its going to go on the dyno later this week and get tuned for around 550 hp. new rims and wider tires are also in the works.

as you can see the entire exterior and interior is custom. the interior is all i can take credit for- but i hope you like it. there is tons of little details that you won't necessarily catch unless you've seen a stock car. this one started out with a tan interior.

the stereo consists of focal 5.25 components and the clarion hu for now- focal subs are in the works as are another set of components, a 4 channel, and a two channel (probably eclipse)

how much does something like that cost, thats freaking awesome
 






not nearly as much as you'd think.

i don't have exact prices on everything exterior and engine wise (but figure 40 grand plus) and there was some bartering for the owner to do some work on my car in return. but all in all the interior work was well under 3,000
 






Nice car man, What do you think it would run in the 1/4 ? Clean it up and get some more pics !

How much boost is it running? When does the turbo spool? Do you have a dyno plot?
