that's actually Emerson.. lol. But I'm sure you guys could work out a deal for real cheap. 1) I like my USDM bumper and 2) I don't want to deal with fitment issues. I must say it looks great on .... shit I can't remember his name. He had a cf hood and ericbla halo headlights though

long story short, I was going to buy Cyber sides, but they didn't have any in stock so i justed picked these up. Not sure how I'll go about filling the holes on the smooth side.

lmao, the quote in my sig probably threw you off. once you get an 8G we can work something out. I got a JDM so it's gonna go for cheap lol

hmmm I'm not sure. These are growing on me kinda (besides the holes). Otherwise they kinda look like VR4 sides

I kinda want it just in case I ever get one in the future, the way things are going the chances of me getting another 8g now are very slim :(

Forgot to post a vid I took. Keep in mind that it's damn hard to hold a camera and steering wheel with one hand, and shift with the other, with no power steering and some torque steer. lol

i hear you on the holding a camera and shifting and steering it isnt that easy of a thing to do.The car sounds good man.

**dknight3** · 07-04-2011, 01:42 AM

bout a 7 or 8 sec 0-60?

**beam514** · 07-04-2011, 02:03 AM

yeah, Emerson and I did a real quick 0-60 hand timing, and it was about 7.7 seconds.

**foxbrand** · 07-04-2011, 02:04 AM

I clocked that at 7.4ish seconds to sixty, also it sounded like you hit the rev limiter at one point

**beam514** · 07-04-2011, 02:06 AM

yeah, I did hit the rev limiter between 1st and 2nd. It's pretty hard to shift while doing 10 things at once LOL

**beam514** · 07-04-2011, 02:16 AM

one of these days I'm going to log it with EvoScan to get a more accurate number. I'm curious lol.

**Corey2kG** · 07-04-2011, 02:34 AM

Sounds like a monster cant wait til I swap mine

**wetamup2k3g** · 07-04-2011, 06:34 AM

Sounds great, Adrian!

**underated** · 07-04-2011, 10:06 AM

yah it does sound really good, im looking forward to seeing it at MOD.

**beam514** · 07-04-2011, 01:56 PM

thanks guys! I wish my point and shoot had better sound quality so you could hear the whooshing of the intake at 5k lol. I drove this guy up a canyon road and when I hit 5k and shifted, he was like "dang, so what kind of turbo you got in this thing??"

You can deffinantly tell it is a v6 by the groal the motor has.What did you swap the whole motor or just the intake manifold?
