Ahmad,

Software and map has been sent by PM

Juan

Thanks Juan, I'll let you know how they work out.


Jeremy, I'll def. help ya with your struts.


Patrick, your car will be getting a makeover too bro - dont worry. I think while its in the shop we can work on cleaning up the engine bay and making it more reliable.

youre still keeping all the chrome right ahmad? its gonna end up looking like vics under the hood

 

[ELEmental59437]

I still got the valve cover, strut bar, battery tie down, and hood prop. I sold the heat shield. Vic's turbo and manifold were polished, mine are jet black. So there is still a difference there. The turbo parts being jet black give it nice contrast, since the polished wouldn't be as shiny as the chome.

I wanna see that nifty IC (evil)

 

[ELEmental59437]

Come by next weekend, I will be finishing up the install. I might go during lunches this week and do the oil, radiator, coolant, possibly the wiring on the injectors. Saturday I plan to finish the E6X.

what system did you go with for the shaved door handles? I mean what company did you use for the popin locks and such. Also what do they use/do to fill where the handles are? nice look btw i like it...haha im considering shaving my door handles as well.....

 

[LinuxRacr]

To seal where they shaved the handles, they used one of his old fenders to cut the templets out to weld over the holes.

I am going with the Autoloc system when $ allows for it. Right now I will just have to crawl through the hatch.. Not a big deal since the only pieces of interior I have is the drivers seat and dashboard.

Linux is right, they cut out pieces from my old fender damaged in the wreck and welded them onto the door. Then bondo, primer, bondo, primer, primer, ...... and paint.

I got the painted pieces of the mirrors back today. Took me 3-4 hours to disassemble them about a month ago, and even longer to re-assemble them. These mirrors were NOT designed to be taken apart. All that just to have the "MP3" look. What do you guys think?

 

[ELEmental59437]

Dyed headliner, and painted map and dome lights.. I also did the moon roof door but it is currently at the body shop.

 

[JDM Sam]

Fengs a bad ass.

[ELEmental59437]

LMFAO... that prob looks weird to anyone else.. Feng is the body shop guy.

 

[traitorhound]

hmm. . i wanna dye my headliner. . . .damn thing has some water damage from my dumb ass leaving the sunroof open and it rained

 

[Bass Addict]

Yea, I was like "Feng, wtf?" lol. Looks good man, was the headliner previoulsy tan? I like the mirrors, should look sweet when its all said and done.

 

[ELEmental59437]

Thanks!

The headliner was originally grey, like in all the P5's. It was out for the body work so I figured its now or never. I am also considering a dynamat like material too if $ permits.

 

[low_psi]

Looking good. It's gonna be hella unique!
