It's all custom, it's a Garrett A/R 60, I bought it used at a good price, I'm currently buying a new one though, and it should be here by the end of this week >:) Surprise

LilSparkPlug:
Thank you, I'm thinkin it too, I always wanted gold, but never found too many 'mesh' wheels that were and didn't break the bank.

Oh a side note, I found that I'm a idiot and don't need to re-polish the lips because they are already in satisfactory condition since I've maintained these wheels, so I'm just wasting my time on the sanding lol. But after this wheel is done than I won't be resanding for polish on the lips.

Front and rear lip kit, I have to go to the dealer to pickup my PBJ spray can, and wandering if I should order it, I'd much rather have the skirts but as we all know, those are long gone :'(

Yup, here you are!
Sorry it's dark once again, it's freezing outside, -1 and I don't want to open that garage door lol

As you can see, she's being ripped apart, hence no feed line, and intake since the new turbo is on it's way. Don't worry she isn't daily driven lol. My F150 is in the garage next to Blueberry

Here's the mockup of the new intercooler piping, the old way was terrible with my lowering, it would scrape on every speed bump and. I got this idea from n20sxt. So the whole turbo will be switched from the way you see it now

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 2:56 pm

Well I got 1 wheel done. And others in progress.

I rolled the car outside so you can see it better, I love how light it is to roll

I hate how skinny these tires are, they are good tires but too skinny

And yes I know I'm missing a lugnut, I found it though

Looks nice. I really wanna set of those in 16's, and paint them gold the same way you are.

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:20 pm

Thanks FAC3L3SS!

Well Blueberry just got another present in the mail haha, can you spot it?

REINDEER CAR KIT! Ready to roll once the new turbo comes in

Can't wait to see the looks on the car with the gold wheels and this reindeer. Halo Projectors should be here next week too! Thanks V.95srt

Where'd you get those rims and how much they run? I'm thinking about picking up a set...in a few years

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 9:22 pm

Swordfish2Cowboy: Maybe

BlackRoseRacing: Thanks!

Adionik: I got them from DiscountTireDirect, not sure if they are still selling them, but they were only $110 a piece!

On a side note, I got 1 more wheel done, 1 side view mirror color matched and tinted and clear coated the tails!

How does that accordion tube not balloon under boost? Why not have hard pipes and atleast get rid of the that plastic intake mani

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 9:46 pm

That bellows tube is damn strong, and it doesn't ballon, it just elongates. I've got rid of it before for a hard pipe than put the bellows tube back. There's no support when using a hard pipe and it puts a lot of weight on it, and during boost it came off.

And all the piping I have is hard piped, that red is just a 90degree coupler that goes to the bov piping, and than a 90 degree coupler.

Yes, getting a different intake mani is definetly on the list of what to get.

Your the first person i have ever seen with the same hotside pipe setup as me

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Wed Dec 09, 2009 2:01 am

j-king:
Thanks much!

n20sxt:
When I saw your way it was genius! The way I had it sucked, you should see the piping I had, it is now scratched to heck and bent from rubbing on the roads (speedbumps and parking lots). Plus the way you did it had much less bends. I needed a new turbo and when I saw the way you did I figured I'd give it a try.

the wheels are sick, and i love the turbo setup

Yeah i had the same problem! well after taking a good look at my town roads, i figured the typical piping route would be destroyed in maybe a month tops haha. What size piping are you using? i had a little clearance issue going over the motor mount but nothing that big (im using 2 1/4")

You should post pics of the before piping

oh and car looks great

Looking great! I love how the rims turned out. I love the bronze / gold rims combo with blue paint! I have the same theme.

theTeejmiester:
Thanks bro, always loved your clean OB!

n20sxt:
Thanks! Your car came along great! I'm using 2.5" piping, I'm rubbing a little on the hood, so I'm going to have to trim a little of the support on the hood, but it'll be worth it. And I'll be sure to get you a pic of the old piping when I get out of class.

Tam:
Us Blue's gotta stick together Tam, haha. Your car has a lot of the stuff I want to do to mine! I LOVE your 02 bumper with lip, I've been debating on doing that. I got projectors on the way, and hopefully some side skirts, just gotta see if they are in stock, should here back on that shortly, I pray they are. And your Mopar rear lip is exactly what I want to do with mine, how you blacked out the middle, except gotta make some special holes for the SRT rear section. Last thing, I want a OEM CF hood like you.

Here's some pics I forgot to upload,

Spray can painting FTW!

Side view prior clear coat:

What it looks like mounted:

And the tails, I know the driver side looks lighter but its because the light.

Currently working on the last 2 wheels and wiring up some LED hvac lights

already got the gauges done; blue for both

Is that paint the same as the color of the car?

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 12:10 pm

Yes, it's Mopar PBJ (Atlantic Blue)

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 12:12 pm

How much did you pay for that pricey can?

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 12:17 pm

$10.87 for a 5oz can at the Stealership

Yeah those cans sure as hell aren't cheap! The rims look great and I like the mirrors as well. The Reindeer car kit is adorable it makes me giggle!
