    Default My new DB8!

    My friend Ryan told me I needed to post a thread with my pics, so here it is. Picked this up yesterday and I'm loving the **** out of it.

    1994 GSR Sedan
    JDM ITR header
    Skunk2 full coilovers
    AEM intake
    B16 trans


    It needs a little bit of work, but should be how I want it by the end of summer. I plan to put some really low offset wheels on it, HID's, repaint it white, and put an OEM front bumper on it. Let me know what you guys think. Those fat 5's are gonna be for sale BTW, so if anyone wants a clean set of polished GSR wheels PM me.

    Sand down that VC and paint it. But otherwise nice DB8!!!

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    The coil overs are just Skunk2 Pro coils like these:

    They ride excellent and aren't that bouncy at all.

    se7en approves of this car.

    However, se7en does not approve of the FatFive wheels and lack of corner lenses.
