Any experience?( I`m new here, but like it very much)

this is sorta off the topic, but did you change the 5 speed to 6 speed on the gt? or what? just wondering, because i thought a gt was a 5 speed.

Hes from japan or Europe. Us americans get a crappy 5 speed.

seriously? damn i didn't know that...that sux for us!

Thats correct, mine is a European cause I live here in Europe. The standart GT has 6 speed, climatronic, ABS, rear disc brakes, 16` wheels and 4 airbags.

hey man i see that you have internals as well, how is your car running are you boosting, what compression ratio did you set your pistons at, so many questions so little time

The compressio ratio is 1:11,custom made wiseco pistons. First I wanted to bolt on a turbo to reach 250HP cause the car is very nice but a bit weak, but finally decided to have a tuned engine wich is ~190 HP and strong enough to handle the nitro. So I have a `strong` car for `normal` rides and a safe booster as well.

Stay away from EIP bad news!
