The car looks great, I really like Midnight Blue It looks stock, but yet different. The Bilsteins change the look of the car completely.

Did you dyno the car?

Great job with the paint. Just goes to show that seemingly hopeless finishes can be save with the right work.
check that tranny is right.... it looked at first like the guy b4 really didn't care about the car, but it look immaculate since you got your hands on it....he should have added on the 3m or ventura bra, if he was doing a 2000 mile run with his car back home, he is going to need a full paint job, by the time he gets home....

Great transformation. Why no sport cats? The stock ones are boat anchors.

Thanks man... and we're not super-keen on high-flow cats on the NA cars. A lot of folks here do extensive track work and end up with CELs and blown-out cats so we stay away

Hehe thanks Luca... you'll get about 15hp or so from the exhaust mods.

Same the color pops when you finally get to it No dyno on this one;(

The B&M unit was used and thanks!

Tell the owner I can get a nice Lapis rear console to break up the blah inside.

Good job guys. Wish you were here.....
Thanks mate... too kind! You're right I should have gotten that center console... Hmm!

Thanks PT Doc... It's a lot of fun seeing what comes in vs what comes out. We have a lot of help from really good people (not to mention you folks keep us on our toes!).
