This was a careful decision. One, the car would probably run e85, mitigating the need for the FMIC, but still need the flow of a nice SMIC. Two, 1G's don't have the radiator openings over the FMIC that evos do, and this will keep the radiator nice and airflow-happy.

I'd consider a thin ETS FMIC like Halon did though, just because FMICs look cool

THIS, or maybe the 993TT from Bad Boys.

Dream dsm... lol I guess as I get older, I have bigger and better dreams.

[polishmafia]

A black 2001 Galant GTZ with a carbon fiber FiD manifold and 120mm carbon fiber TB... with the trim that comes with an ash tray.

[Goat Blower]

I guess since we're adding that money is no object, than it definitely wouldn't be a DSM. It would be a matte black Lamborghini Reventon cab.

[turbotalon1g]

I thought we were building DSMs?

If not my realistic dream car that i will have is a lsx FD, I've wanted a 911 since I was a kid.

Pagani zonda seems pretty pimp or ferrari xxx

[sleepydsm]

I already built my dream DSM


But.... I would have added.

Perfect paint job, in the stock color.

Wilwood/TCE front big brakes

17" Volk TE-37s colored black

Twin Walbros (or better)

Stock black leather interior

Candian seatbelts

And then drive the biatch.
