I don't see the little duckbill spoiler around the rear window anymore. Have you removed it, or is that just the angle?

Well first thing you will notice is the paint, right now the car is in primer black. I just need some nice weather to do the final black coat. I've also painted the wheels myself for 5 bucks, I think they turned out well. It's kind of hard to tell from this picture but I also removed the rear "toe-nail" spoiler, it looks a lot better. I've got some more pictures on my cardomain site, http://www.cardomain.com/id/kakoriat .
I am mainly focusing on the performance side of the car, I have a big 16G turbo sitting in my room, and a huge sidemount intercooler on order. After I get everything I need and have the car dyno tuned on a wide-band O2 it should be running high 12's on pump gas and low 12's on race. Man I can't wait =)

#6, Yea it is a little big, but it's 3in's all the way to the turbo. Oh yea there's no cat or EGR valve either.

Looks nice... I love Talons, I can't wait to see the finished product. The wheels look great.

#2, black rims with a chrome ring are the best, because otherwise you cant tell where the rim ends and the tire begins, great job!

Thanks for the comments guys, right now she is sitting in the garage with no turbo. I am porting the big 16g and waiting for my EVO 3 exhaust manifold to come in so I can put everything together and go to the track.
Oh yea it also has a dump tube for the wastegate that sits about 6 inches from the ground. =)
I'll keep you guys posted as far as times and hp figures go. I'm shooting for 300+ hp and 12 second times on pump gas. Race gas, hehe I dunno yet, low 12's. =)

#2, just wondering why you chose the sidemount over front mount? or are you going for the sleeper look ? because i saw in a magizine that your can paint your front mount to look like an a/c condenser to fool the ricers

#16, Well the main reason I went with a big sidemount was the cost. A nice front-mount will cost atleast $1000 with all the custom made piping. The sidemount I have actually flows better and more air then a Supra sidemount and will be able to handle about 400hp. And to top it off it only cost me 320 bucks.
I also choose it for a sleeper look as well, plus I can keep my foglights with it. I don't plan on getting an even bigger turbo intil I have the money to get a nice 6-bolt motor. Then I will go all out and get a HUGE front mount. =)

Yeah.. flat/primer black looks good on a lot of things.
