Default Got a heart transplant for my birthday...

...not for me, the car silly!

Today's my 23rd birthday, and we've spent the last few days working on getting my GSR swap in. Work, class and other things got in the way - that's why it took so long. Anyways, here she is, purrs like a kitten, but SCREAMS to 8200rpm running a 2.5" Kamikaze open header

Boost coming in a few weeks











My camera died, so I don't have any pictures of the motor in my coupe. But it's nothing you haven't seen before...

And here's a shot of my little coupe in her SOHC-T days...goodbye my fellow ninjas, I'll miss you.

Man, I loved the turbo D, but open header at 8200rpm with this motor is INSANE!

Doesn't matter though, the boostincoupe will be boostin' again in August

Burying the stock EX tach into the red (which ends at ~8000rpm) is fun
