yea. go with the turbo setup, you can go much father with it and if you wanna tone it down you have a controller unlike the s/c. i wish i could just change boost levels that easy.

well i can now fully open the passenger side door. i got alot of the dents out of the rear, but the rear right of the body was bent down and in so i got alot there. im going to my buddys next weekend to get out the roof dent and im gonna take it from there. ill get more pics and compile them at the end for a hopefully decent body job. (for anyone wondering, yes im still doing mods to the car, just cause it has a lil body damage doesnt mean anything, i made a mistake and learned from it like everyone else.)

Might clash with the tires being black. Your gonna want something to break it up a little. Check out Davids GP here's a link to his car domain:
