Actually if I wasn't too lazy I'd probably end up doing the same thing because I have not been able to remove the water spots and it kills me anytime I have to go to a show and it looks like crap. OK, it must not kill me enough not to be lazy about it. But it is a good idea.


Speaking of which. Decided on my next mod. After the new tune and gauges, I just have to get that **** done. Anyway, next mod.... Painted stripes. Probably later in the year though. Once the gauges are done my spending on the car is going to drop as I need a new TV (still using one from dad) and replacing my old G5 mac. After that 4 grand give or take I can look at car stuff again.....

Then again the 4 grand for electronics would **** near get me forged on the bottom end

I tried to make today's sunset and failed Dang traffic and I forgot about the DST effect. I did manage to shoot a few @ 1600 ASA, I ran out of light so I had to create my own. After a little evaluation I think I need to "black" some not all of the innards behind the grill. I take back my earlier comment. A man's got to have options.




Okay not exactly the grill but it looked go so snap!

I'd like to do the samething eventually. A paint autobody shop somewhat local to us named Dreamwork Customs did a painted stripe job on fellow TMS'rs car for $795.

1080P HDTV's can be had for under a $1000 now.




That's basically what I ordered.




I noticed that too, at around 5pm, the sun was about gone.

Too many menacing looking clouds this morning. Stang stayed home. But if it looks good after work, I'll take her out to Hermosa Beach since I have to go out that way anyway.

Leo, quick question about the polishing you had done to your blower. Is it worth it to buy a satin finish blower and get it polished by a local shop, or would it be better to throw down the extra $300 and recieve it polished from Brenspeed?

Oh and also, the non-intercooled V3 package says it adds 150rwhp??!! Without a intercooler? Is that a safe number for non-cooled?

LEO_06GT

Get it. Don't forget the intercooler.

It ended up costing me $200 to get the blower and all the other pipes including the ones for the intercooler polished. So if your going intercooled you'd proabably save yourself $200-300. Reason being the difference between satin and polished on the intercooler is another couple hundered bucks.

I'd assume it's safe if Brenspeed's advertising it that way. With that said it never hurts to be intercooled.

TacoBill

Just don't gorget to hook up the BAP.

Leo owns stock in Vortech/Paxton intercoolers.

So what your saying is if I buy the H.O cooled kit I should just buy it polished? Bill, I can't remember, but did you go with the Meth? If so, which kind? And do you think the V3 will work with the Paxton A/A cooler?

LEO_06GT

What I'm saying is if your going to buy intercooler then buy them both in satin and get them polished yourself. It will save you some $$$. I don't see why the V3 wouldn't work with it. You can always double check by placing a quick call to Vortech or Paxton.

Sexy girls, sexy cars, Las Vegas!...It's a hard job but someone has to do it . Hooking up with George and his friend Jeff in Las Vegas Nevada this evening. It should be 3 days of fun in the sun, I'll take a few breaks to see what's going on on TMS. See you on the flip side with photo's and hopefully some adventures dirt! My goal is to shoot every stang I see even ones I may not care for

I'd just get the polished system. Who knows what metal polishing shops in your area would charge and what kind of turnaround time they have, not to mention their polishing abilities.

No meth yet. I'll be considering that system if and when I decide to install the 3.0 pulley.

V3 with A/A, like Leo said, should be no problem, but call to make sure.

TacoBill

Dang it, I'm jealous!

To think, Leo, Fly and myself had plans in hand for 3 nights of illicit activities.

Jed & George, best of luck at SEMA. Represent us well!

Same here

Have fun for us Jed! Can't wait for the pics

LEO_06GT

+3. Atleast I have the blower as a consolation prize.

Check out the best drag racer EVER!!

Only 3 days that means when you're returning I'm going to be heading out there. I leave for SEMA Thursday early morning.
