You should change the silver door handles to the same color/look as our benzels on the hvac. I think that would look good.

Yeah I don't know if I like silver in our cars (eblue) but if you want something different I think blue if done right and not rattle can shit would look good.

They sell the timing belt tensioner without the plate. Maybe that is what you are thinking of.

How the hell did you rip your PS cooler open while driving? I looks like is was hanging down dragging on the ground :rofl:

Oh shit handles look great :thumbup:

Guess who is boosted... This guy!!!

Sorry, pics will have to wait a while. I was busy installing the turbo, in the rain, to be taking pics. Other people have plenty of pics though. Feel free to post them in here if you have them, otherwise I'll just steal them for this thread :lol:

We both are waiting for members to post pics as it was hard for the both of us to do the installs and take pics this past weekend by ourselves...

wow cant believe you paid $300 for that.. i had one that i was willing to sell for cheap.



on the other hand.. congrats on the turbo install, crazy you did it on the showfield but gladly you had other people there to help you and Eric to tune it. Wish i woulda been there to see it & help out.

A round of applause for this guy please. Drives 1100 miles to carlisle, and is probably boosting at this very moment. I had so many other projects going, I didn't help much, but I didn't need to.

The eye is almost better. All that's really left is the red part and that can take like a month to heal
