You let someone else beat the living hell out of your car while you watched?! I could never do that.

Im sure youve heard this hundreds of times, but damn....Your FX is by far the sickest one I have ever layed eyes on. I love the HRE's over your previous rims too. If you dont mind me asking, How much did VRT charge you for you engine work? (sorry if you already answered that, I didnt read all 8 pages)

haha, I was in the passenger seat when Taka was driving. He was showing me it could be done, he was a little hesitant until Mike told him it was twin turbo.

What good is a built motor and twin turbo power if it can not be used and abused a little. It was much funnier being in the passenger seat than trying it out on my own. Trying was fun too, but man drifting is no joke.

Thanks for the kind words. I don't think I posted the costs. I've been upgrading it constantly so the initial price was a little lower than where I ended up at. Not that VRT was upselling anything, just after 10k miles I decided to move to the larger turbos and we threw in some different cams and heads.

The basic built motor twin turbo is between 15-17k I think. I've probably spent just as much on the rest of the ride as the motor/turbo setup.

I still like the Axis wheels. I'm friends with the owner so I'll rock his wheels anytime he has something that fits right. 5x114.3 in the 22" flavor is not as huge of a market as the Euro vehicles right now so nothing in the 07 Axis line works really well.

Thanks for the kind words man. It's been a journey, fun at times other times Mike@VRT has to talk me off the ledge. The hardest part has been the downtime during upgrades, no ones fault really just hard to not have your beloved ride with you.

Here's some Irwindale 1/8 drag racing love. Driver's side axle snapped on the last run.



Should be back up in the next day or so with Drive Shaft Shop Level 2 axles. Not to self, burn outs on 305/45-18 DRs should be kept short.
