I just came back from Florida in it, i was gunning it all the way there, to test the car, 0 problems, VVthis is in Naples, Florida.

the car is not "super" clean but i like just the way it is, including the lower windshield tint,lol,

i got a set of some smaller tires just sitting waiting to go on, i got a good deal on the toyos in the back but those sons of bishes will not wear out, i had these on two different cars and they are just like they were when i put them on, i may have to take them off and put the smaller tires on but i kinda like the bigger rear and smaller fronts, i got the camber kit on it so the camber is not wearing them out either

there is so much room in the engine bay for this, but i kinda like how reliable the car is so i kinda of dont want to slap it on

ppsssshhhh....


Boost that bitch. F series love boost. I don't know how often I say that, but it seems like it's a lot. I've got 2 extra ecu's if you want one to chip/tune. and plenty of F series stuff. Boost is definitely a cruel mistress, but nothing beats hitting full boost. or being on the highway and a *insert overly popular "tuner" car here* tries to run you, and as soon as you blow off they back off.

She looks really nice, aside from the mentioned HID's in the stock housings. I can't stand people blinding everyone on the road by doing that.

I like that you saved the car and your progress with the car is great. I personally like the Konigs better and I found it funny that you wanted to drive the car with the rear passenger door off, with your kid in the car sit lol

oh i totally agree but ever since i started modding mine it's been one stupid little problem after another. boost leaks, blown sensors, vacuum leaks, spark blowout, blah blah blah...lol.....but it's all worth it:goodjob:

yeah, im a redneck, im going to drive the car missing a door with my son in the car.........no

i if i would have driven it, it would have been only me in the car, and the car seat would have been removed along with whatever else was back there to not have crap just flying out.....and come on dude, i was just saying, that thought flashed into my mind for a split second, i could have done it cause i replaced the door myself, but i just didnt even feel like doing all that

like what you've done with it man, cl wheels look so much better. I say get some black housing head lights and retrofit them bitches. Listen to drummerboy, def turbo that shit and he's right f-series loves boost and if you take care of it and get a good tune it can still be reliable.

unless you enjoy headaches and troubleshooting, keep it na

thats my main concern, the power and fun factor will go up, but reliability will take a nose dive

don't get me wrong it can still be reliable but little things like boost leaks, vacuum leaks, tuning issues, and just little shit always keep things interesting. be patient with your install. use good hardware, good lines and hoses, tbolts, new gaskets, good wastegate and bov, and triple check everything to make sure its done right. then get a good reliable tune, something that will be safe with your fuel and compression. then have fun!!! hell it looks like you already have the kit so i say fuck it...go ahead and boost it

I'd love to pick up one of these as a daily. Had the option to get a green one for $700 with a bad transmission but didn't have the money right away. Keep it up, man.

As long as you dont use some jank shit you'll have minimal issues with boost. My current car i havent had to touch since i turbo'd it. Infact none of mine have required any significant repair. Definitely worth it to do it right the first time!
