This car would not be where it is today without the help of Club3G and its members. Club3G has been an invaluable resource for me over the years, and I'd like to take this time to thank all of the people that have helped me through the process. In particular, I'd like to thank Ben (NAPALM) and Zeeshan (zeeshan/xull1x) for their tuning knowledge and helping me get the car running in the first place. I'd also like to thank Jake Hanhardt for the turbo kit, Scot Gray at Road Race Engineering for the base tune that has kept my car running strong for the past 7 years, Curt Miller at Dynotuned Performance and my friends Jason and Calvin for all of their help and patience. Finally, I'd like to thank the B2N crew for making this club a fun place to be. You know who you are :naughty:

Comments/concerns/criticism welcome :wub:

As always....Looks Great!!

Thanks man. I really haven't looked at too many rims yet. I actually wouldn't mind keeping the same style I have going right now; I think a set of aftermarket silver 5-spokes would look pretty nice. But I'm definitely also open to trying something new, do you have any suggestions?

have you considered turbo'ing the rolla? :fawk: the 4afe can throw down 300whp, the 7afe can do that as well. just need pistons/rods/cams, a good tune, and a whole lot of boost.
Yeah, that would definitely make a pretty cool sleeper. I haven't completely vetoed the idea just yet. I almost have a job lined up for when I graduate, so we'll see how much they want to pay me before I make any more decisions on the matter :lol:

seriously though, your 3G looks great with JUST the intercooler in the front. its a very good looking car in stock trim there....except for those drum brakes.
Thanks Jordan. I'm hoping this summer I will finally get around to ditching the POS drums for some discs. As you can see, it's on my to-do list

Besides icemanrld19's GTS Spyder I believe you have the cleanest turboboosted 3G I've seen on this forum. Great work, keep it up. :yesway::yesway:
 
#29 ·
Looks in awesome condition! And the boost is two thumbs up.

Thanks Frank, I think so too. I bet I could run 13s changing NOTHING except the launch. I'm sure you remember that night; all the n00bs kept driving their street tires through the water box and dragging the water up to the track. It was cold, it was wet, and my launches were shitty. I'll definitely let you and Marcos know the next time I head down there :woot:
 
#34 ·
yeah they where didnt bother me tho i wasnt going anywhere to fast anyways lol, but yeah im sure you could def pull a high 13 with what you have now i was guessing you where gonna run mid 13s when i seen you, yeah for sure let us know, im doing import wars jun 20th, im not sure yet whether super street class or super mod, but as soon as tht stupid clutch comes ill be able to do some runs and see. we should hit the highway soon, and i have to say man your 3g inspired me to keep mine stock and lowered, it seriously always looks flawless man

only issue is I worry about rust on some of the larger bolts, hence the torch. the barn I work in has a compressor like this, the back one.

Only lacking a torch, but I can get a good MAP gas one that will get hot enough for what we would need. Shouldn't need it, your car doesn't see winter salt.

let me clarify, i DO work in a professional auto repair shop. this is my friends barn which i do hobby work in.
