Description

I've owned this car just shy of 10 years now, I believe the car was from Ohio where the 2nd owner had been having clutch/trans issues for a long time before giving up and selling it. Stealthxtreme bought the car and he and JeremyG installed a new clutch/rebuilt trans and sold it to me. 2 of the images above are actually from right before I bought it, it was stock except for the clutch, k&n and a boost gauge.

The following year or so I had pulled and installed the trans 5 times before getting a clutch that worked and a trans rebuild by Maddog. I also did the basic bolt on mods and 60k tune-up by then.

This car has been to 7 NG's and 6 or 7 UMG's, heres a few pics from those.

The following years were mostly a blur of mods I don't think I will attempt to list them all, maybe just the basics at the bottom. I would like to say that most of the money that has been put into this car has been from working on other peoples 3S'. In fact the front bumper was a gift from a friend whose car I worked on. I was doing a 60k, ebc install and a general get this car running that hasn't in several years. He asked if I would install a novara front bumper and I mentioned I really liked it, he ordered 2.

Rear end R&R, powdercoat and AWS delete.

Extremely Shortened Mod list
-15g's
-560 evo's
-Jester ECU
-EVO MAF
-2G brakes
-Southbend OFE clutch
-Mishimoto Rad
-Cianci Novara bumper
-To cheap to pass up Rota's
-oohnoo Dual core FMIC
-Snow Performance Meth kit
-Lots of powdercoat, some polishing and engine bay dress up.

Along with the rest of the mods I didn't list this car received a ton of oem parts, it's very hard to for me take something apart and not replace/clean it powdercoat it and install new oem bolts.
