I figured I would put together the build thread with my beloved Zaby. I purchased the car 2 years ago and right before I bought it, I told the wife I would not touch the car for the next 2-3 years. After 14 days of ownership, parts started coming through the door (mod itch). I love the car so much and the way it looks, I started with suspension and rims, then supercharger.
I had the supercharger rebuild and ran cog gears which blew my engine, so I purchased a built engine and ran the supercharger on my car only for few month until I took it off. Cog gears gave me so much headache and one day an m4 pulled next to me and we couldn't help it and he pulled away which pissed me off LOL. Sent the car down to maryland to AAM Competition and had their twin turbo installed along with all supporting mods, my baby made 680 at 16-17psi on 94 octane pump gas. Here is a list of all the mods (pics of car progress at the bottom, I had lots of pics before but my old phone broke so I salvaged wat I could):
