Looks sick! I love it!
More details on the history.

Gray_Panther sorry for the late response, what do you mean by more details on the history?

Suprgnat Just red start stop from Ali and all chrome on the interior has just been painted black.

Sick build! Definitely would be a dream to have my car reach similar levels to yours.
What are your thoughts on the pure 500? I want to get one, my mechanic is weary and says I should get a ps2, but the $2500 price difference (with hpfp) is throwing me off

[Veldmannn]

E13 appreciate it! The pure500 is amazing is you ask me, I’m still on n54 hpfp so don’t have to upgrade it. My car is made for cornering so I think the pure500 is the perfect oem+ turbo and hold much more power till redline.

Yes pure600 or pure750 will get even more top-end but I would only do it if you want to get big power and ethanol.

On normal fuel, I’m very happy with the pure500

nice job on your build. I had a couple of questions i was hoping you could answer.

1. What height and weight are you? Would you say the pole positions are lower than the factory m sport seats at the lowest setting? I would like something that sits lower than stock seats, but i have heard with the aftermarket sliders, aftermarket seats are higher than stock.

2. Do you have a link to the front bumper?
