Thanks for the kind words. My car has been an obsession of mine for the past 8 years, as I pay extremely close attention to detail. Despite it's age, the car is in outstanding condition. The interior still looks new, and every single nut and bolt under the hood shines. I have countless one-of-a-kind parts in the car...from the completely custom turbo kit (with polished stainless pipes) to even the minor details such as custom brackets for the radiator fans, custom wastegate rod, the BMW M3 wing, etc, this car is completely unique. When I began building this car up in 2002, there weren't many good aftermarket parts available, so rather than simply ordering my parts, I actually had to make them myself. Pictures don't do the car justice, you have to see it and most of all drive it to fully appreciate it. Some of those who have experienced this car have popped into this thread, and I'd like to thank them for sharing their thoughts on my car. Simply put, it's an exceptionally clean and beautiful car with breathtaking performance.
This car is a very far cry from the car I bought. From a performance aspect alone, I've almost tripled the stock horsepower, dropped 100lbs, improved the handling significantly, and upgraded the brakes to boot. I've built the rest of the car to handle said upgrades reliably, all the while improving the interior and the exterior of the car. I sacrificed a lot to make this car what it is, and I learned so much doing it that I founded SpeedCircuit with the knowledge I gained building it.
Thanks to all who have voted for me thus far!
