Couldn't resist.

I've been scouring the net for possible mods to no avail. The avic or any hu for that matter has been scratched of my list. All I really want is a way to use my dam ipod.

I was out of Z-2 and getting close with the Z-6.

Ordered a t-shirt too while I was at it.
I don't think I would choose Adam's over Zaino either. If anything maybe Ultima or Optimum. What other Zaino stuff do you use?

Hope Jed and Luis don't read that.

Other Zaino stuff I have is the Z-CS clear seal, ZFX, Z-10 leather in a bottle, and Z-16 perfect tire gloss.

I've only applied the clear seal twice so far. I'm planning on a Z-2 multi-coat (with Z-CS) before show season starts, then just touch it up with the Z-6 detail spray.

Yup I'm sure. That's not even a deal considering they're alway at that price on ebay.

Trash all of the above and get some Meguiars "pro class" stuff.

Yeah, you're right Leo, my paint finish is lusterless.

So far, I would have to say I prefer the look of Meg's 26 over the Zaino. I'm going to put on another coat of Z2 to see how it looks though.

OK, let me try to get all of this right......

Yes, I got two K&N-type filters at Auto Zone that go over the stock tubes that come out of the cam covers. I think each filter was around $8. Works perfectly.
That's great, good idea!

You're welcome, just keep an eye on it.

I got a new catalog from Crutchfield last night, it has a new Alpine (I think, trying to remember) unit that will let you add an Ipod with full control to any headunit- aftermarket or factory.

That is by FAR one of the coolest pix I've seen...... dang man, that's awesome. Throw some real wheels and tires on there, and it'd be ****.

Gary replied back and suggested something like this:

Ponies on The Run (Again)-gms3jpg.jpg

I actually like the car on the bottom, but I don't like the 2006 GT since it's already on my other tag.

Plus, I want the HP and TQ numbers bigger. Something like this:

Ponies on The Run (Again)-gms3jpgb.jpg

Any ideas of something I could put in the center?

A pony?

Seriously though I like the second option. Only thing I would suggest is how about just having it say Intercooled Turbo System. Get rid of "single". How about adding the name of the company that makes the turbo or their logo?

A pony... yeah, right!

Good ideas (except the pony)... I'll work on it!

Here's one with the "SINGLE" removed and a Turbonetics emblem.

I think it's too busy and he'd probably have to get permission from Turbonetics like he did from Granatelli.

The pony actually looks good... maybe he can leave the color like he did in the Ford emblem:

I like that second one. How about removing one of the GMS logos though?
