My Sonic Blue mini (non-professional) photoshoot

2slo95fiveoh · Jul 8, 2013

I took the car out for a cruise today and figured I would snap a couple pics. All of these are done with my phone, so not professional quality by any means. A buddy of mine has a really nice camera and we will use that sometime in the near future, but for now this will have to do:

Questions/Comments welcome!

Thanks man. The car is running good, especially after replacing the head gaskets..
I dropped it off at the tuner tonight actually! Just a 'street tune' for now until the dyno is up and running, but at least I'll be able to drive and enjoy the car (aka W.O.T.)

Yea no doubt dude finally unleash it , sucks you had to do head gaskets right away

I think you've changed my mind about what hood i eventually want to have for good.

The single rise cowl...

'Cause goddamn your car looks sick as fuhh.

Yeah, I kind of explained it in my build thread, but basically a stuck thermostat caused the car to overheat (two times), which weakened the head gasket, leaked coolant into the lifter valley, and warped the head. BUT I would prefer these issues early on before tuning etc, versus later when it could have potentially been tuned on a weak head gasket or something..
But yeah I can't wait to stand on it. And watch the boost gauge.... hehe

Thanks. I had the Cobra R on my green car, and planned on using it with this car, but when the new owner of the green car offered me $500 cash for the hood, I said "I'll help you load it up.. ha" The single cowl was always another favorite, and to take that $500 and add another $80 for a cervinis cowl was a no-brainer to me.

BEAUTIFUL car man. I absolutely loveeee Sonic Blue! And your stance is amazing looking. How much drop did you give it and what suspension components did you use (just curious)?

As far as how much drop it has, I couldn't tell you. The car wasn't stock and complete for long, and I didn't take any measurements at the time.
The suspension setup in the front is: Koni Yellow Single Adj Struts, M.M. coilover kit (225lb springs I believe), QA1 tubular k-member, AJE A-arms, M.M. c/c plates
Rear: Koni Yellow S.A. shocks, some mystery purple springs (I would guess 2" drop), M.M. lower control arms, boxed stock upper arms.
