Yeah I was thinking that same exact thing. How much did it cost to custom fit the kit? I heard we have trouble in our rear ends.
Powah to the verts! (I might get mine this friday!) |

Actually I got a damn good deal it cost me $1300. 4 inches had to be added to the front (2 on each side) The rear had 2" added the sid skirts had 1" taken off. I know a guy that owns a body shop and he did an awsome job. I had 35 hours in fabrication time. It has help up great I have had it on for like 2 years. I am going to get the front touched up. I only sit about 2 1/2" off the ground so its been banged around a little. I am thinking about raising it up but it just doesnt have the same effect.

Aiiii, how do you get over speed bumps O.o
$1300 just for that? How much have you dumped into this car so far? How much you gonna spend getting the turbo in? (seems like we got a real woman here.) It's a stick isn't it... say its a stick! |

It was 1300 for the fitting painting, and install..The other quotes I got were like close to $2100 - $2200! The turbo wont cost much $1000 or so. I'm gonna do the install myself (with some help) so that will save a bit money.
The switches are for the neons..It lights up when its dark to match the rest of them. Just something cool to take up space and easy to make.. Yes its a stick wont drive auto no fun! ![]() |

1000 for a turbo setup? Thats more than a little low, what are you buying? What parts? for how much, etc?

I pieced it all together but was luck I found a guy with
upgraded ct26 with under 4000 miles on it with elbow and cat OEM IC with stock hot pipe, cooling fan and bracket that has the BOV provision 91 Turbo manifold 91 Map sensor for $700 shipped and then all the other lines and piping I pretty much have because I was gathering it when people would be selling it cheap...I basicly need onlt the injectors. I'm thinking at most $1200 Then like I said no installation |
