Hey guys! I'm Nick from South Jersey, school in Ohio though. I just acquired a 2001 ES V6 this past summer as a project car. Currently drive a 2003 Hummer H2, but I'm looking to have fun with something a little smaller and fuel efficient.
Only thing I've done to the car is put some 18" rims on the car (black with chrome lip). Already have Vision Cyber 2 body kit to be installed, as well as GTR style fenders. Also have VIS Carbon Fiber EVO hood in stock, as well as black Projector Halo headlights and TYC Euro taillights. Being at school for 8 months of the year makes it hard to get shit installed. Hopefully fitting the kit soon and sending the car to body shop to be painting a super white. All accents such as mesh will be gloss black to match the rims, and windows will be tinted.
I'd like to consider turbo'ing the car since it shares the same engine from a 3000GT, figuring I can get 530-560HP, but we'll see. Anyone know if there's a not impossible way to make it a manual, like tranny recommendations and further mods needed?
He it is as it sits! Driver side doors don't match cuz I swapped them for ones not side-swiped. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v5207/6/117/719245865/n719245865_2849458_6773220.jpg
