so i couldn't help myself from getting another project cool.gif .

My uncle was selling this car and i know its been well maintained since it was new.

the bad is it was hit in the left front. it has no frame damage only body. the worst of the bad is i cant find a fender for a GTS for less then $300.

the good-only cost me $500, 5-speed, over $1500 new parts installed. and i drove it home.

the first of many thing i bought for it was a turbo kit which even though its used its a start for $100 shipped.

ill post some pics of it some time this week.

anyone have any ideas of mods for this car?

I think that turbo kit came from the same guy that welded his turbo/dp/manifold together.... anyways, gl with that.

I think so. If the manifold is decent its probably worth that. The Vortech FMU probably is decent to, Ive heard quite a bit about that brand.

hey think of it this way, it cost you $600 so far, if the turbo kit isnt worth $100 your only losing like what... $600? not even really because you would only need a new motor nana.gif

just kidding, post up some pics when you get a chance, i want to see this

^i would defiantly love to have that hood^

the body and spoiler is the same all i need is the hood and bumper to look like an all-trac

this is a strictly Boost project. this is my pioneer car for turboing a non-turbo car. i plan on 3-6 psi with just updating and improving some of the turbo kit parts. for now the most I'm going to do ECU/tuning wise would be equipting a turbo timer. i am weary of boosting this engine because i cant find much information on turbo charging it. most people just do the engine swap from an alltrac
