    My build..the good, the bad, and the downright awesome

    first of all i would like to give my left nut and many thanks to louie (eagletanggreen) for the amazing hookup on the motor/fcon/defi's/evc/ etc. without your patience this car would not be what it is today. thanks to minus500 for the 60-1 swap, joel seidel (aka spindler27/05orangeblast, also my best friend and helped with the build) ryan (eltness350) for the help, jason (deyj) for the moral support lol, chris @ sp for the triple pump, and all the support, shariff @ forged for the support, and louie for the volks and track z (:cheersand if i forgot anybody im sorry, but ill get to you.
    oh yea, and rmedix..because im sure everybody that f/i'd there own motor has made more than a dozen visits to your diy. so thank you too sir!
    heres the rundown on my car..bought in 12/05. started out as bolt on, then tn single, then greddy tt..sold everything and pretty much started from scratch as of 11/07. since then it has been a nonstop quest buying parts, researching, breaking ****, pulling all nighters before and after my classes/work/girls.
    i've honestly never been so pissed at an inanimate object..but also never been in such love with it either..i guess theres a different feeling associated when you tear apart and rebuild your car in your own garage (or cuz im too broke to pay for labor charges lol) i dont want to sit around and figure out how much i spent because i would be dramatized lol, but around 15k give or take.
    this build..no wait let me rephrase..this car has been such a turning point in my life, not only for the good times, but mostly for the people i've met through this car (such as joel). it has taught me responsibility in a sensse (and after a few close encounters too lol), and also taught me how to spend money like water haha.
    **chicagoz.com crew-
    i've met a great deal of you guys lately, especially on the chicago z forums, including jason, neil, keith, larry, danny, diamond bob, jeremy, vlad, thom and im sure theres more, and you guys are great. i look forward to many other meets and shows together.**
    honestly, if i could do it all over again..i would in a heartbeat because as much pain, sweat, anger, frustration, and blood that has been poured over this car..it has brought me so much happiness and gratitude...until something goes wrong during my tune lol. FML

    onto the pics (cant find alot of the ones we took, ill post them up if i find them lol

    VQ love ftw!

    Nice build. What are your plans for the car after it's complete? Car shows? Drag strip? Auto-X? Road Racing?

    What's you suspension set up going to be like? I hate to see all that work into making it go fast just in a straight line. That's not what the car was built for really. It looks like it might have a slight drop in the first few pics. Hard to tell.

    Those SS are the worst part of the car IMO. They look too overdone for how bad ass the rest of the car is.

    What sizes are those Volks?

    Great build man. Looks like hell and fun.

    I've not seen too many body kits i've like but I gotta say yours looks awesome. The best part is you get to say you built it not some shop. Very cool build.

    Yes. I like how you think. I swear everyone in WI is into drag racing and builds cars for drag racing that were meant for turns.

    Good shit dude.

    Anticipated completion date?
