Good **** B, your ride is looking nice. Throw some CF canards and sideskirts on to finish her off. Have you made a final decision on wheels? I think the concave look would be sick on your ride. Maybe some black TE37's or something.

 

Thanks Kai! Feed sideskirts will go on tomorrow, I think I am going to sell the craftsquare add-ons and get the side generators. Still need to get my low profile spoiler too.

I am back in Gainesville now. Probably an inch or so drop, .75" minimally. Working on suspension at the moment, either Aragosta, Quantum, Zeal or Ohlins.

I don't have it installed, I was just told it was an option by Betew, when I get one made I will post pictures
Right now I am running work vs-xx chrome
18x8.5 + 36
18x9.5 + 38
I need about a 2" spacer for them to sit flush at the moment

Thanks! Do you know Alex? He owns the montego blue single turbo fd here at Jefferson, he also works at the front office. Feel free to say hello whenever you see me.

Thanks Eddie, You need to see it in person, pictures dont even come close to how great the paint looks. Next time your off give me a buzz and we will grab food/beer.
No problem C, it looked SICK on your car, definitely going to be that finishing touch, not to mention drop those "under the hood" temps. Wish you got to see it in the sun, it looks NUTS, pictures don't even come close to how good it looks.
Thanks! No dice on the canards, I am not a big fan of them, too much going on IMO - especially for a street car. Sideskirts are going on tomorrow. I was thinking about some super concave te-37s in flat black too, or meisters with a 5" lip - decisions decisions.

Some more pictures, no matter what I do with my camera I cant even come close to capturing the color of the car. Time to invest in a better camera, anyways some better shots to somewhat show the color a bit better.




Me at home depot picking up some polishing supplies

 

We need some night pics to see how that paint gets mean in the dark.

 

Looks fantastic. I assume the car will be dropped a little?

 

Thanks Gordon! That means a lot coming from you. I have thought long and hard about that interior color, I wanted to do something similar to the viper gts cognac color:

I think that would look great in a black or dark blue car, even silver, but for my dark red I believe it will look out of place. Which is a shame because I really do like that color, I will just be going with a full black interior which includes black rz seats and leather covered door panels with red stitching. Might do the dash with leather and double french stitching in red (think Aston Martin - hopefully it doesn't fall apart as fast).
Soon my friend, I need to work on getting a better camera, will do a photoshoot when the car is finished. Still need wheels, suspension, brakes, low profile spoiler, side generators and feed turn signal covers to finish the exterior.
Thanks. Will be dropped .75" at minimum, I want a very low and aggressive look. Still deciding on what suspension, either Ohlins, Quantum, Zeal or Aragosta.


Installed the feed sideskirts today:



Some pictures from my 2002 cluster project/nightmare/disaster. What I estimated to be a 2 hour job turned into an all weekend affair. Project was just plagued with problem after problem, in the end though I think it came out pretty sweet. Still need to wire in the boost gauge, can you believe it took me 5 years to get a boost gauge?lol.
cluster dis-assembly

had to cut the backing to fit the nipple for where the vacuum hose attaches to, huge pain in the ***. Also dremeled through a piece of my finger, awesome.

moving the circuit so I don't cut it, I should have been a surgeon

Removing the gauge from the cup

Had to cut the cup because it was to big to fit in the panel with the top on.

 

all better

Glued in place, and left the lamp on to heat it overnight

finished product.

 

Looks SO GOOD! I LOVE that hood!

 

wth?! 5 years with out a boost gauge?

 

I like to live life on the edge at all times possible. I borrowed one when I was diagnosing boost and or vacuum issues. I really don't have a logical reason for why I didn't have one, lol.

 

lol.. thats crazy bro! send me a pm with a price on 99 spec tail lights

 

Have you ever seen the baseball interior of the Audi TT? I think the color (the one you posted and the one me and Gordon are talking about) would match well with your exterior color. It will add so much class to an already classy car.

 

I love your car, looking good.

 

your car looks soo good

 

Bryan,

You need to get a condo/house with a garage. That top of the outside garage business has got to suck. When are we having some tranny fun?

 

the boost gauge is not a bad idea.. it does not match with the rest 100% but not a big deal... if i were you i would have done all of them..(without ruining the 99spec cluster) in autometer or other gauges that match

 

Thanks for posting pics of the gauge install into stock cluster, i'm less scared of doing it now. It turned out great!

 

i really like how the paint came out, good choice!

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So I was wiring the boost gauge and when I was attaching the vacuum hose I somehow ripped the cluster circuit board. That rendered the entire cluster useless Thankfully I had another board laying around, so I swapped everything and I am just going to use the stock boost gauge. Replacing that gauge is a good idea, you just need to use a gauge without a nipple so you don't need to drill into the board.
Broken circuit

New Dash

Boost Gauge! WOOT!

Night Time - this is just drop dead gorgeous

 

I'd love to have the newer cluster if the speedo was in MPH. Love how that looks!

 

looking good!

 

Just ordered:
Shine Carbon Fiber Low Profile Spoiler
Shine Carbon Fiber Side Generators
Authentic FEED Lens Covers

I am sooooooo excited.

 

Sweet! I think you just paid for my car and more from this project.

 

so... in a few months, you, me, and nader will have very similar cars. You will just have the FEED front bumper while we're staying with stock '93...

 

:/ If you only knew. With all the money invested I could be driving around in a sweet black viper gts. Ohhhhh well.

 

Some pictures from a recent event, really need to figure out what wheels I want. The shine low profile spoiler should set it off.

Need to re-finish the arc ti exhaust. On that note, the current wheels look so out of place :/


I would rock these ccw classics, damn you C
