Thanks :) should be able to do better though, was my first time on the quarter mile

Jobs in iceland must pay good damn .. when I was 17 is300 was just a dream... I'm 22 now n just was able to get my stock msm now.. :(

Ur car is amazing tho great job with the build.
I got a really good job compared to my friends and i've also been able to make some profit with buying cars cheap and selling them more expensive so ive earned my way up to this car.. anyways, im 19 now :approve:

Damn that's a nice ride.
thank you :)


I Purchased a TRD front grill and i'm thinking of changing the car a litle bit, haven't decided yet tho but here is a photoshop my friend made just to give me an idea of the final look :

before / now :


After / Photoshopped :


then i'll probably spray the SRT logo on the intercooler & tint the windshield lightly,, tell me what you think :D


ooooor :

thanks, i went with the black coloured hood that matched the grill, got the car back this weekend out of paintjob :)



With that mph should be in the 12s what was your 60ft?
It says 2.1 which isn't too good with slicks. Improve the 60' times and you'd easily be in the 12s with that 110mph trap speed.
yeeh, 60ft 2.1 and reaction 0,8 i think i remember correctly,, awful start although it was my best 60ft time, i did like 20 runs..

i'm thinking about trying to burnout into the 2nd yellow light to have some boost builded up for the start.
