What made you choose the phantom supercharger over the innovate? Was it the thousand dollar price difference? Regardless, nice car.

Some more pictures I took of that '99 converted '94 3000GT before it left Austin... ~10 years ago. Out of curiosity, did you ever get any footage of it on the dyno or highway?

I miss that car so much . Thanks for the additional pics. I lost most the ones I took or they were on my really crappy cellphone.

As to answer your question I will be on stock tires unfortunately. I chose the Phantom ESC for various reasons the two biggest being ease of install/uninstall and price point (although the instant torque is fun as well). Originally I planned on running it for a year or two until my warranty was almost up and then I was going to go full on FI. That however may change, as with E85 it's a total blast to drive!

I'll see how I feel by then and go from there. I really had my eye on the SPD kit since its essentially greddy but a lot more affordable.

Also I did get video of it on the dyno at IPS but it was on my old cellphone that broke (dropped it in the toilet)...I have the dyno sheet from when I first got in tuned by them on waste gate pressure which put down 384 wheel on my computer. I also have the dyno with the upgraded tial wg, aem wideband and afc neo putting down around 550 wheel at my moms somewhere also.

Received my Yospeed Center garnish today! Looks great and makes the interior feel slightly less cheap. Great price as well!

Love the diffuser! Very clean.

Just got front and rear Toyota badges on as well as the gt86 badge, also installed a Raceseng Apex R black shift knob, while I await my Anarchy Motive knob. Both knobs are awesome, the Apex is lightweight and the Anarchy Motive is very heavy, but yet both are enjoyable in their own ways.

I am very close to ordering the Borla UEL, or Tomei UEL header until I can save up enough money to get the Speed By Design kit. Wanted the Openflash header but not the wait. I am currently saving up for an engagement ring as well so it has been hard. Still trying to find a good local place to do the install though.

Awesome!
I got the anarchy motive shift knob combined with MTEC shift springs! Love how it shifts now!

Lol! I'm about to order the Tomei UEL manifold & Tomei overpipe soon! They seem like such good quality for the price you pay, so that's great for me/us!

Post a soundclip of your car before the headers though so we can hear the difference

Car pulls very hard now. I will be going to the track soon and see what she can pull on the 1/4!

What oil are you using for your car now that you are using E85?

haven't changed it. Been running the normal recommended oil. Also got my Borla UEL in today so will be running the UEL E85 tune come Wednesday. Car will be loud as fuck though with no cats and the EVO3. I will have to remove th cold start high idle for sure...

Lol that setup will be loud, my friend has the Borla UEL and muffler delete and it's very loud but sounds so good. I read that you were suppose to use a different oil with E85.

I went from Motul 8100 extra life to Amsoil Premium when switching to e85. So far so good.

[raven1231]

Local exhaust shop quoted me $200 for header install....Needless to say I'm doing it myself now. Spent 30 minutes today with the car on jack stand just getting the skid plate off. I will be taking the header off tomorrow.

[VakaGT]

dyno after e85?

[raven1231]

Holy Shit! this car is loud, perhaps too loud. I think I may invest in a decent catted/resonated front pipe. Also, the smell of the exhaust while stopped is getting to me too, reminds me of my old 350z.

On a side note the rumble is beautiful
