Default Guess who's back... (new car)

Well, well, well.. guess who's back, and it ain't slim shady.


I know most of you know me from my Red WS6. Sold her in August.. bought an S2000, loved it but it couldnt handle my abuse. Nothing could replace the hole that was left from my WS6.

Until Sunday.. November 28th







Those were the only pics I took the day I brought her home. Yesterday, not even 24 hours after I brought her home, I was already to work.











First time I've done a ceta and it came out perfect!


Took these just now:
























Bought her for $6500 as she sits (aside from the CETA) 95K miles. Texas Speed 233/239 cam, 3600 stall, bolt ons, full exhaust. Car ran 11.9 on shitty tires, so it can only get better.

I LOVE this color. I was originally going to get a WS6 hood as well, but I decided not to. I love it how it sits.

Plans:

LS6 Intake/Ported TB
HID's lows/fogs
3.5" Corsa exhaust tips
New set of longtubes/ORY
18" OE Wheels all around
Serious engine bay cleaning, along with underside of hood



And my usual touches.. polishing, painting, etc under the hood. There's some more things I have in mind, but I'm going to take it real slow with this car and enjoy every second of it.

Needless to say.. I'm glad to be back.

That'd be great man. There was an extra one from the middle.. but it wouldn't fit. I'm thinking maybe the driver/passenger vents are a little different?

Thanks a lot man. I'm partially colorblind so I have some trouble seeing things like that. Appreciate the heads up
