progress with my 95 TSi AWD.

[HaveBlue83]

yup, they are WDM's. i wish the spokes were straighter. i didn't know they curved like that till i got them. I'm rockin them though, they are still nice lookin

I will check on the spring seating. it WAS seated, but i had to redo it a few times, it may have moved...


BTW, i started a build journal on here, now that i'm over 30 posts. FINALLY!!

 

[project98dsm]

Brinton, your car is sick dude...and yes, I have found you on Tuners. I'll be watching you.........it's Eddie BTW haha

 

[HaveBlue83]

hahahha! ...and u have a pict up of the GSX's!

 

[Ego4sho]

man that looks really good! I have so much respect for diy jobs

 

[Maxwell_eclipse]

The car looks good man

 

[project98dsm]

If you'd have told me you were doing this project I could have sent you the rest of my sheet of dry CF...but it would have defeated the whole purpose of the mesh, which is for the AC right? If you block off the middle vents from inside the dash where the ducting is, it will just cause the vents in the door to blow harder. I think I'm just gonna go with a triple pillar pod in my 2g. I used the dry cf to make a panel in my 1g after I removed all of my radio crap. I'll text you some pics when I get a chance.

 

[HaveBlue83]

k. yeah, i have CF sheet and i thought about it. i figured i'd try this first.


check it out...

went to my secret DSM junkyard again. had some new arrivals. lookie what I got. check the receipt for awesome dealeo once again.

I really like how you did your gauges. That was a really good idea, are you still able to use the ac and heat though?

 

[HaveBlue83]

if i cut the vent ducting to fit it will blow through the mesh.

my AC is without a belt at this time. heat blows though. i dont use it much

 

[zTurb0]

trade me cars!!!

 

[arowell9]

[dsm_danny]

[Zac692069]

I love your car. What do you have to change to bolt a 2gb talon bumper onto a 2ga car?

 

[TrboANTsi]

Nice job Im loving the stock radio!! I wish I still had mine but it took a crap on me so I had to swap it out.

 

[HaveBlue83]

my volume knob is quirky, JUST like my last one. .

the bumper fits right up, just need a different SMIC duct and the lower air damn.

i really dont wanna remove it, it's so hilarious, and the iPod works with it...

<--------I have a DSM journal going as well, i am trying to add everything there, so be sure to check that

 

[SpawnedX]

That junkyard ripped you off, at my local pick-a-part yard I paid 15.00 for a VC that was basically brand new.

 

[DropShock]

thank you for posting a picture of how you did your gauges! I always see these custom dashes and always felt like too much of a noob to ask how they were done. looks sick btw man keep it up!

 

[icetech]

Nice ride man. It looks really clean.

 

[Maxwell_eclipse]

That gauge pod turned out nice

looks like you can use some new undercoating in those wheel wells!

 

[HaveBlue83]

yes, i do need to respray the wheel wells. there's not even any rust, it's just worn off hahaha.

SpawnedX, it's very hard to find 1G Valve covers in the junkyards. i pulled one and sold the car and haven't seen another till this one that wasn't cracked.

oh, i did this over the weekend:

$50 from the junkyard, all black but missing power controls.

Now, my Bro has a 2000 Saleen and they come with color-matched door inserts for the power controls. I took my power controls out and hit them up with gloss white paint and it came out pretty nice. it's not ricey lookin, i think it looks nice. i didn't want all black, it looks kinda bland like that.

[boosthead]

[fateo66]

How did you hold the gauges into the back of the pod?

 

[ncdirtrider249]
