My first time doing anything this extensive. Also, i found out the hardway that my timing was 180 off :oops: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/stockheadoff.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/TECH0001.jpg Then i bought a Trilogy Turbos 3" downpipehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/DownPipe.jpg 1G MAS with K&Nhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/1gKN.jpg Soon after, my clutch started to slip so i bought a Fidanza flywheel and Spec stage 3 clutch. I also installed these by myself and it was my first timehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/Oldvs.jpg Yada yada. Speed up to today and the car has had a few other mods done. 3" exhausthttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/exhaust.jpg The car is sitting infront of my house waiting for me to get a job and buy a stand alone.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/P1010136.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/MPI.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/mpiinstalled2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/driversside.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/passengerside.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/P1010047.jpg Ill keep updating as I continue.

Fanta Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 what'd you do with the ARE star rims? Pretty nice car you have there. But how did you manage to have a driving car with timing off by 180? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind_Drifter Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I still have the star rims. Sitting in my living room. ARE is the brand? I am always being asked what kind they are but i dont know. They are stamped as being made in england. 17x8 all of them. The timing, the car wouldnt start with it 180 off.

TexasQuest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Those star rims look great. Subtle but still sporty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFastBeater Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Those star rims look great. Subtle but still sporty. I like them too but they definitely need a spacer on the rears to bring them out to the correct offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind_Drifter Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 So.... I towed the car to my dads garage and will now be working in it a little bit more. After sitting for 8 months and installing speakers, radio, turbo timer, and removeing the wiring harness, the interior is a mess. Thats not like me.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/100_0459.jpg How the bay looks as of last night (11/5/07) I got my throttle cable to work.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/100_0463.jpg Now, time to install the intercooler. Mine doesnt fit inbetween the rails. SO i guess ill mount it in front of them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/100_0460.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind_Drifter Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Cut the rail about 1/4" to get the intercooler to fit tonight (11/6/07)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/100_0468.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/100_0472.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 i like how you hid your relays but i have a question, how do you change them? take your fender off? also are you going to finish up the bumper or leave the foam showing? looking good man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind_Drifter Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 As long as i have had my car i never had a problem with one of those relays. I think that the time time it would take to replace one is wirth the cleaner look. I plan on installing sheet metal to smooth out that opening like i have seen others do. Just that today everything was closed. Thanks for the compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/TheUncannyJ/101_0474.jpgMake sure to get the relay thats on the drivers side firewall, just put it behind the panel and fill the hole.

Just that today everything was closed. Thanks for the compliments. I really like your idea but i was thinking of cutting a larger section out of that area and welding some tabs on the metal left to you can unbolt the entire piece with the relays on the back side. Only reason being is my stuff never seems to go bad when im at home keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
