That Twin Turbo Teddy shall from this day forward be known as the "King of Bling"!!!

I just got my car back together last week, after TTT polished my UIM and TB, I did the silicone hose replacement, the 99 tail light conversion, and put on the Efini badges. I have posted some pics on imagestation.com, so here is a link.

Got the car detailed and back on the road just in time for the Dallas Hot Import Nights on 8-3-2002, and had a great time driving to and from the Rice Fest!!

Looks really good

*Holy red batman! The apexi intake is a little too much for my tastes.

 

Nice job. Your car looks great. Is that new paint? It looks perfect! The tail light look badass as well.

Thanks for the compliments! That is the original paint, I'm just very fortunate that I found a car that had been garage kept and babied. I know it is the factory 93 paint, because it chips like an SOB, leaving white spots for me to touch up!!!!!

 

Car looks good!

 

It's about gadammed time! Looks great. Does this mean you're going to come autox at least once now?

 

Tell me about it! The good news is I was out of town for 2 weeks, so I couldn't drive it anyway! I am planning on coming out to watch the AutoX, when do you race locally again? Thanks

 

Watch??? Just run the damn event. You will be glad you did!!

Why do you still have the stock intake duct on? Does it help keep the intake temps down at all? I haven't seen anyone else do that and waqs wondering it if worked.

 

I'm planning on running an event eventually, but I need a set of stock rims and some decent rubber first!

Not sure about the stock duct helping with intake temps. I never removed it when I put in the Apex intake, so I don't know if it helps or hurts the temps. I have people ask me where I got it, so I think you're right that not many people still use them.

 

I will be in Houston for Divisionals this weekend; next local one is Aug 18 in Bedford. Like RatedR1 said, just enter. It's boring as hell watching; just enter! Entering as a novice lets you ride with anyone you like as well as drive your own runs. Riding with me is fun or scary; depends on who you ask

OH!OH! TMS Charity Laps are the 31st of this month!! I am not missing this again, dammit. Missed the past two...

 

Tell me about it! That oem paint is a pain in the ***. They must have put to much hardener in or something. It has little if no resiliancy. Tom

 

.. nice looking ride!

 

LOL

 

Nice ride...
Is it polished or chromed?
And how do you do the touch up. I tried to touch up mine. I guess I am not good at it. Gave darker silver.

I'm guessing you're asking about the UIM and TB, and they are polished. Before I installed them, I cleaned them with Meguiar's Metal Restoring Compound, which I have been using on my hard pipes and strut tower brace for almost 2 years. It works great, and really brings out the shine in the polished parts.

 

*cough**cough*

That's Lord of the BLING.

Thank you very much.

 

pardon my ignorance! Seriously, thanks for doing such a great job on my parts. Lord of the Bling, sounds like a movie.....
