That's right, another build from scratch. Just like the rest. Or maybe not. Who knows, for now I'm still exploring my options. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to join up here, and gather whatever info I can.
So far, I've already done a few basic mods that just about every decent car should have, such as rims, performance struts & springs, and strut bars... Also HID head lights, but that's only because the stock bulbs were junk, and those came along for a decent price.
Anyway, I figure if I'm to get any help with my project, it'd be nice for people to know what my goal is. I figure anywhere from a 10.5 to 12 second 1/4 mile is good. Thinking I might need somewhere around 300-400whp, aiming for 300 for starts. For now I've decided I'll get a BPT to swap in for a little fun while I build a second engine on the bench. Still debating between a second BPT, a BPD, and a KF-ZE. No KL-ZE since I like running boost, and there'd be no room for it with that one.
In any case, I still have much to learn about all of those, so I won't be making a decision anytime soon. For now, I just wanna continue to explore my options. So I'll ask a few questions. But first, some pics (I know you'll all ask for some anyway).
Here's the stock pics http://geocities.com/syntheticman6/323
And here's pics of the progress:
New cluster: Old one didn't have a tach.
New wheel studs (as well as old ones): Needed them for the new rims, lugs weren't catching on anything.
New rims: 15x7" with +33 offset
New suspension: struts, springs & strut bars
That's right, it's still a stock B6
I've actualy cut those pannels since this pic, so they're back in place now. I'll have to take a new pic sometime.
And just a few random photos:
Anyway, that's my car. Now for those questions I was talking about...
#1: Has anyone had any experience doing a supercharger & turbo set up in these (because I don't like turbo lag)? If so, what should I expect in terms of problems/price?
And #2: After I installed my HIDs, I lost the use of my highbeams (there were only two wires, the ground & low beam, so now I can turn my lights off with the highbeam switch, not sure it's legal, but it is good to avoid blinding people with my abnormaly bright lights), ever since, there's been a rapid clicking type sound coming from the glove box area inside the car. What the hell is causing it? Because it's realy annoying... My bro thinks it could be a DRL modual, or something. But he's not 100% sure, and I don't trust him ripping apart my car to find out. So any help would be nice.
