it's a lift off, I don't expect it to fit any better than it does.

I got it from USBody back in 2000

Yeah, the plastic parking light holder was painted white...


Gives it a thinner, cleaner look IMO.

The interior is pretty stock looking..

the one trim piece you see painted is the only thing painted.. on both sides of the dash.


My nitrous arming panel is the H/AC controls.. All done with tinted plexi and flush mounted buttons.

Seats are black cloth seats from a 96 TA (no pics of new seats/interior)

In center AC vent is nordskogg A/F gauge.

Back seats removed, 15lb bottle where the pass. side back seat was.

Back well has an Orion XTR DVC pro 12 sub, custom MTX amp, etc. etc.



It runs 14.4s all day on a 100 shot.

I swear. :lala:

No, it's nowhere near stock...

Ported heads, cammed, rockers, pistons, ported upper/lower, stall, built 700r4, 3.73s, 1.75" shorties, full exhaust, self prom, etc, etc...

and now sporting a new dual stage n2o setup. (pics will be up in a couple days of that..)


The car is not a track car.. pure street fury.

Beautiful car man. But those front turn signals keep reminding me of something....

Are you the old Ben87GTA or is that his old car by any chance? His front signals were also painted as such and I haven't seem him around these boards in years.

excellent man. I've been drooling over your car for a long time. If I remember right you were the first with the RA II hood. and you told me you had a working airbox for it (which for back then was BIG news). You ever finish up that airbox?

But yeah...welcome back (or whatever....I thought you were gone for good....I remember you saying something about selling out and buying a Beamer or something). Thanks for being an inspiration with those beautiful first pics of the RA II hood.

The hood has 4 pins.. front two are in the rubber bump-stop holes IIRC... the back two are on that decking piece, easily accessed.. Sorry I'm not more in depth on that.. Had a few drinks so far tonight


Yeah, I finished the Air Box.. It didn't flow enough though.. car run much better with the PVC -> K&N (fake K&N ) Intake was sold long ago..

And yeah.. I was looking at 330ci's for a while.. I still want one.. I just don't have a good job anymore.. so it rules that one out.

nah, he just need to adjust his headlights... lots of thirdgen ta iv'e seen have them sagging down and it looks like they have a lazy eye or somthing......

theres four bolts that is on the headlight... two are in the back and you have to remove the black cover to get to the front ones.. a little adjusting and he's set....

i have included a pic of mine to show how they should be.... i'm not saying mines perfect but i'm into the details.....

as you can see the driver side of the hood actually is higher than the passenger in the front
