zOMG you have an FM intercooler!!!! That is so ******* sweet. That's so ******* awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jesus **** turn the radiator around.

oh, and the ***** bumper sucks too.

 

That bumper is ugly as ****. I don't know why anyone would get it.

A little birdy told me that the "FM" on the intercooler is actually just the owners initials reversed so everyone knows whos coming.

 

[QUOTE=AbeFM;220460]Why does that bumper look positively hideous, and the silver one looks good? I could almost go for the silver one. I want more inlet area, and I wouldn't bitch about a place to put driving lights. It IS a little flashy though.

Yeah it's a bit flashy seems you either hate it or don't - but it has good opening for the air, driving lights are a plus too. BTW looks like the main diff in this shot vs Kill Boy is the car is not lowered, this one has a front plate (no such BS in NC), and the car in Kill Boys shot may have been moving pretty fast - down on the suspension even more - some shots he took of my car made it appear lowered but it's not - I was just haulin :-) and he's a friking awsome photographer. If you're ever up there when they're out it's much fun to lead or follow their evo.

 

BTW......... that's my car.

 

Not really directed to you - I had a long convo on the GV stuff with a friend of mine (has uberchargered 10AE and has had several aerodynes etc long standing SCCA) and he hates the gv stuff but then again I liked the look and function. Of the jdm etc bumpers I've seen for NB this one looks clean and not completely out of place with OE skirts.

 

likewise, i wasn't directing that at you. Just making a statement. But like you said, most the reason i put it on the car was function.

 

Here's the only car I have driven through the Gap:



That's right: 1986 BMW 528e. $250 of BABE rally gloriousness from last year. Quite a solid car, but slow as all get out!

I actually took this picture, and my house mate is driving the car.

You crossed the line!!! jk

I need to make a return trip back this year. MT@TG anyone?

 

Er, it looks like the opening for the driving lights is a bit different on the two cars? Probably all in my head.

Also, one is a 2001+, and one is a 99-00, the corners in by the headlights are rounder on the newer car. Basically, the silver car has sharper lines. Trying to fit the 00 curves on a design with edges that thin doesn't look as good to me. Give it up and use nice sharp lines like a fighter jet.

 

Well, i did also have a GV on my 99.... with the large side skirts. I guess a lot of the "correctness" of the look comes from the pic, how low the car is and the wheels...

*don't mind the gap in the 1st pic. The intercooler support sagged and was pushing down on the bumper. I later fixed it!



^^attack of the giant cones!!!


And before i had the intercooler shoved up in there. I think the bumper with no i/c is what makes it look funny too..

 

I think the headlights on the maroon one make it look funky also.

it def. looks better on lighter colors IMO

 

I'm thinking about it. I Hope to take July and August off again this summer. I'm definately driving out to CO in August, and a trip east would be nice too.

Besides, if I stop in Charlotte, I could expense the trip, since I am considering looking for a consulting gig there.

 

i may make that my vacation this year, why the **** not?

 

Looks way too ricey, esp. with the IC showing so much.

Anyone goin to M@TG this year?

I've gone the past two years, but I'm undecided about this year. It's a little weird being the only guys under 20... or 30... or 40

 

I went in 05.. Uh.. There were like, maybe 5 of us under 40.. Still had a blast with the people I went with.

Gonna make it in 09, can't afford it this year... Instead I'm planning a small covert Eureka Springs run. Hard, heavy, and fast... only with the miata this time, not the crotch rocket.

 

Yoy guys were deffinately hangin with the wrong crowd. Last year there was a group of (atleast 30) under 40. We were the only ones up after 10pm lol.
