B2,
I am sure that is the one that compete's here in SD and LA area. I have seen the same one at battle of the imports and seen tons of pics of it at local contests. If you go to some you might see it in person.

its called computer work. being a tech makes mad cash. i do it in my spare time.
i make lotsa cash.
im 17.

anyone wanna help me convert my car to a return fuel system?
i think thats my next mod.

The writers of that mag need to do their research. In the original article, it says the car is a GT-S with a 2.0 liter engine (that part of the article is not posted). Both are wrong.

[BoyRacer]

He the same car on the hotchkis website. i asked them about the kit they said he was a customer, and it is a custom kit they arent sure who designed the kit. but he is out in california somewhere.

[GT-S Elanore]

Some people are born rich.

[Blue Batmobile]

I have that mag. The article says the guy is 19 years old, Damn:rolleyes: . I don't recognize the car, anyone know off hand if he's a member here?

Bat

[Karim]

he is a member on here but doesn't post very often. his member name is insight gt-t if you remember forever ago when he first got his kit i posted pics for him, this was many many months ago.

Dude, tech work pays pretty well and all, but you KNOW his parents are in on that $h!t. I build webpages and help out the IT guy at a company right by my house and I only get payed $10/hr (what do you expect for someone just outta HS), so unless this dudes a freakin' genius I don't see him fronting the cash for all that himself. LoL, he probably bought the audio stuff himself just so he could say that he was a part of modding "his" car.

[skatamatic]

yea, i saw that article and their errors about it being a 2.0 GTS.
i think they also called the stock carbon blue color a "custom cobalt blue pearl" or something similar to that. other than the people at the magazine being stupid about their facts, the articile and car were real nice.

[BoyRacer]

I dont see why its so crazy. the car costs only 20k. he prolly only has a bout 10-15k into the thing. so thats between a 30k-35k car. i think its just cause he spent so much in mods, but the all together price isnt that ridiculous. now is he had a 50k dollar car at his age thats a differnt story.....................theres also something that you arent taking into thought here. Can anyone say TRUST FUND> he he.

[Unison8]

Its Bill's car from Team Insight, yes his name on the board is Insight-gt-t. His car is Hella phat and also has some pics of his ride in the Jan 2002 Super Street under the Hotchkis Celica.

[larryd]

very nice and impressive..

[Lilsupra]

Geezzz u people...if it cant beat a SUPRA its not fast....BTW what does it beat on the street...lets say up to 100mph

[larryd]

not me :)

[miklo2411]

O. K. that car is nice, so for all the people that are hating just stop. I dont know the guy but the car is bad ass for a GT. I have to give the guy some credit he sent a lot of money on his car and it turned out phat.

[Xlr8_10]

i agree, the car is phat! i almost had a heart attack lookin at just the exterior pix. nothing too out of the ordinary but still, just done really nicely.. maybe just a really good photographer? :confused: lol

its not as fast as it could be with all the money thats gone into but not too shady for a show car! :tongue: nice work dude.. whoever you are.

mental note: technically, you are not "fast" until you can beat larry. :biggrin: :tongue:

[larryd]

damn i just went and read that article for the first time.. all i gotta say is SHOW ME THE $$, or show me wher you got the $$

hehe.. VERY nice setup.. but DAMN.. thats alot of cash in that car.. everything he has is top of the line.. i wanna know who funded that project and ask them to adopt me :)..

btw.. if he is really putting down 225hp to the wheels.. then he would beat me pretty easily.. 2500lbs and approx 260hp to my 2900lbs and prolly around 250hp :)

phatty phatty :)

[97prizzzm]

now can WE get a turbo???????????????

[RLFlipsyde]

Hold on..so this car is a GT or a GT-S?

[larryd]

its a GT..

First off there arn't too many cars that can beat supras atleast around here considering ther are a couple running around running high 8's. and still looks like a street car

[cruzerz545]

Sorry, but I am in the tech field myself (software engineer) and I can tell that the money isn't flowing.

[cruzerz545]

I program in all languages and I dont see the flow either.
