Ghetto Sleeper Ride - Ghetto Luxurious
Update 2010-02-17 - I can't wait until the spring cuz I'm getting new bumpers front and back and I'm upgrading the computer. I wanna start building a D16Y8 or A B16 from scratch so I'm looking for some good blocks for sale? Oh and what do you all think of leaving the bumpers flat black?? I may get an ecu too does anyone have any ideas on a chipped ODBII ecu that will go with my turbo? I hope the mods don'e have a problem with me opening this thread back up as I am sure they will appreciate not creating another thread.
Update 2009-11-02 - Well I finally got her finished. I uploaded some pics of the engine with her new turbo. I may have some issues with the Blow Off Valve because it does not sound right so we shall see I may get a new one. Other than that the bumper does not fit because of the turbo but she is back in the business of getting me back and forth to work so I am happy
Also pretty soon I will be making a How To with pics for the noobs that cant figure out how to install one to a stock motor.
Update 2009-10-12 - I got some new pics, although she looks dirty. So far I got the some of the wood kit in and while I was working on the dashboard stuff I took the cupholder from a 98 and put it in cuz I like the flip down lid (It looks nicer). I also started to put some of the turbo stuff together so I added some more pics let me know what you all think about the wood and the project. I cant wait to take her home.
Update 2009-09-28 - I ordered a turbo so It should arrive soon. I just got a question for all you guys out there. How far can I boost with my stock cam and ECU for now? Also later on I wanna change my stock cam. I'm not sure what brand and what stage to buy. I am not looking to race if anything my horsepower needs are 300HP Max. I am gonna be running low boost for now.Until I get a CAM and injectors and chip for ODBII. I would love any comments and especially suggestions as I am new to this. Thank you all in advance.
Update 2009-09-20 - I got all the pictures up and deleted the crappy ones. Check it out let me know what you all think. The leather seats covers are actually comfortable.
Update 2009-09-18 - I finally got some really nice factory looking leather seat covers that look awsome and hard to tell if the car came factory with leather or not. Tomorrow I will post them up so you can all see the Ghettoness.
