Oooo it's gonna be a bit of a surprise to see how that colour BBS rolls with the chartreuse paint. Might not sit too well, but I've got high hopes. This'll be one BA machine when all's said and done!

Where does the exhaust go after leaving the turbo?!?!

Bane · 07-17-2009, 01:00 PM

Dude checking the Rockwell hardness of the stock shims, finding raw material, turning it down, using a wire EDM, and then heat treating the metal is freakin' HARDCORE

breinhar · 07-17-2009, 01:07 PM

"•Custom baby puke paint" and a pink engine. I love the color combo!

SweetDaddyD · 07-17-2009, 02:03 PM

This is utterly ridiculous.

Cegan09 · 07-17-2009, 02:18 PM
