Looks real good Chris! Hoping to hear the results of your first rain storm experience though

**Rac10000** · 05-29-2007, 05:14 PM

Lookin good Chris ... I think I like it. I can't wait to check it out in person!

Chris05STi · 05-29-2007, 06:55 PM

Closed pics...sure no prob.

Had a rain storm experience..NO LEAKS NO PROBLEMS...honestly you wouldn't even know it was there unless you looked up and saw the trim for it.

Update:

Headliner is at Installations Unlimited, check them out, they are really great people!!! They are custom fabing a black suede headliner for me!!! Plus, I talked to a friend around town, and he has a guy who custom dyes dashboards, etc. He did an awesome job on a Porsche, so I am going to hopefully get in contact with him to do the headliner/roof vent trim pieces and OH **** handles to dye them in black. Plus, something else is in the works for the interior.....lets say, it will save me mucho time, and some money. Just need to swindle the funds to make it happen. Nothing big, but something to help complete the interior

!

Track day at Limerock is coming fast!!! Got to get my crap organized to be ready for the trip and the day. Still need to do a coolant flush and get 1-step colder NGK spark plugs, think I need them, have rough idle startups every now and then, think its the plugs a bit dirty from the meth and hard runs I have put the car though.

I promise you all, after Limerock, and paying the bills, I will be back in full swing with the SZ55 turbo upgrade. I will ONLY be buying parts for the setup, so hang in there, its really annoying to move all the boxes off my leather chair so I can play Xbox 360....so I got to do soething about getting them installed

! I guess with all the suspension mods, the car handles likes crazy, so the power doesn't affect me as much, cause it can just throw you HARDER into the seats on turns

!

***VSGTS14*** · 06-05-2007, 07:29 AM

clean the MAF sensor too.

Chris05STi · 06-05-2007, 08:27 AM

Yah, gonna do that too Billy, thanks for the reminder. Just odered a set of one step colder NGK Spark Plugs...should be here tomorrow

!!!!!!!!! This should get the car running nice and smooth.

***VSGTS14*** · 06-05-2007, 08:29 AM

how many miles are on your car? you never changed the plugs before?

Chris05STi · 06-05-2007, 08:32 AM

I upgraded them last year before my tune to the one step colders...maybe almost 15-20ks on them.....I think its the meth making them not last as long as normal plus the track days and hard driving???

Chris05STi · 06-11-2007, 05:31 AM

Update:

Picking up my headliner that was wrapped in black suede at Installations Unlimited tomorrow. Should be nice to have that back in! Still have to work on getting the handles and various trim pieces dye'd black. Shouldn't be a problem. Also ordered another set of Wheel Totes and Felt covers for the ASA's I will bringing for Limerock, going to use them as my track tires. Eventually, I will mount the winter tires on those, and mount some beefy Falken RT615's on the Work rims, and dedicate those for the track.

Other than that, going to Kiwi's to do some spark plugs, compression test, coolant flush, and hook my roll cage back up. Then, I should be all set for Limerock this 22nd and 23rd!! Really excited about this, wait a whole year for this, best time with friends and the car. After Limerock, I will be doing lil things here and there on the car, and buying the mods needed for my turbo upgrade. Ings+1 front bumper will be sourced out by Chris, and I should be able to put a deposit or something for it next month. Then its the side skirts, and rear bumper, and some other " " things. Main goal though is to get that SZ55 in!

***DjChieNa*** · 06-11-2007, 06:18 AM

suede headliner eh...you baller!

i'm itching to pull the trigger on a spec c roof vent after looking at your pics but I must hold back to save some money on a 20g and some injectors.

Chris05STi · 06-11-2007, 06:26 AM

^Sweet on the 20g. If your going for that with the injectors already, might as well do the JDM TGV's (delete those butterflies, they sell for like $199 shipped), and the APS Turbo Inlet to free up some ponies. You will be in there doing the Injectors, wouldn't take tooo much to take the manifold off and do the Inlet and TGV's, def worth the effort for increased flow/power!

***DjChieNa*** · 06-11-2007, 06:28 AM

^^thanks for just making me want to spend more money

Chris05STi · 06-11-2007, 06:30 AM

^Its what I do best.....

In the end its def worth the extra cash and effort, making the engine flow better def has gains!
