i wanna kno the power plans for this car, The car looks amazin, but now u have the task of making it as fast as it looks. whats done to it so far and what are your future goals?

I just installed a turbo that is capable of over 600hp. I'll shoot for around 400-450 for now, and do a built engine later to go for 600+. Next week I will tune it, dyno it, and install my big brake kit, and I'm mostly set for the summer. I still plan to upgrade my HID headlights and paint the engine bay, but will do later on.

At a local night meet, there was a pro photographer going around taking pics of some cars. He had a couple of guys holding remote flashes in each hand and took several fast pics in a row like a strobe light, while the guys moved the flashes around to get different effects. Here's a pic I found after the meet:

Very nice. I' would like some paint details please. You mentioned it was a candy paint. What base color was laid underneath it. What kind of clear, and how many coats was applied? What grit do you end up color sanding it to? Which compounds, glazes, polishers were used when buffed out? And, which buffing pads? Thats all... thank you.

Not sure, you'd have to ask my painter for all these details. www.autoimage.ca

I just chose a color, and donated a kidney for payment :biglaugh:

A couple of pics at the track at the Pac NW 2009 meet: Duane's rear wheels don't look too bad considering the wrong offset for my car.
