very basic mods, a 3" exhaust from the cat back that goes into 2 1/4" "Y" pipes with Comptech mufflers. The resonator has been deleted as well. I know it also has a short shifter but need to confirm brand with the seller.

For the short shifter it is probably either the neuspeed adapter which is just a small piece of metal like I have, or the full short shift kit from pspec that can shorten the height which neuspeed dsnt.

Cant really tell from that pic youd have to remove the trim and boot and see whats under that. Btw I like those carbon fiber trim pieces on the center console, is that real cf.

it actually looks like the height of mine with just neuspeed adapter. Some shift knobs actually sit an inch shorter than others. The top of my voodoo knob sits over an inch lower than the maven knob i bought. It does look more like pspec tho.

Welcome back to the 6speed club
Car looks great! I think wingless is the way to go.

This was Thinjim's car. That for sale thread was in the bm for like what 2 days before it sold.
You do know the guy you bought that car from has the legendary CL dragster... He is very well respected around here.
I'm sure he took very good care of that car. Hope you get to mod it. Keep us updated!

yes, these were all contributing factors as to why I bought his car!! I can't wait for it to arrive! I might do a subtle drop and some 18's in the year ahead

Yes the car arrived as expected and I'm loving it! It's been raining here the past few days so I haven't had any time to wash it and take pictures, but the pictures in my album gallery are exactly how it arrived.
