Default My teg de-riced (and the steps it took) (56k no)

Welll, I finally have my teg where I want her so I thought I'd show the progress over the last year and a half since I bought it.

Here she is when I got her.


First thing was to get rid of the wing and 5" Tach


Then threw in some amber front corners


Starting to look much better.

Next on the list was to get this


Which made her look like this (also put on the stock wing)




Then I spent a weekend and changed the engine up from this:


To this (also added an ITR Front Strut Bar)


Last but definately not least......Traded the Enkei's for SI's and painted them Gunmetal

This is how she sits now










There's a few other items not pictured like Extended Top Hats on all 4 corners, rear trunk brace, etc....


Let me know what you guys think. Comments good and bad are welcomed. Oh and I'm not getting rid of the hood. It's the only "ricer" thing about the car that I like.

Yeah, but the 17's rode horribly. About knocked my teeth out. Plus those Enkei's weighed a whopping 25lbs each.

Suspension rides great. I'm running 1.75" Extended Top Hats in the back and 1.25" extended in the front plus the lower shock fork mod on the front (the one that's lingering in the Suspension forum). Without all that I wouldn't have dropped 3" on Illumina's. I'm actually thinking about going a little lower. Haven't decided for sure though.

I've got the stock hood hanging in garage but one bolt has broken off inside it and I can't get it out.......then the other bolt hole on that same side won't take a bolt......like it just won't start threading in. SO......I have a stock hood, just no way to install it.

Car wasn't too bad to begin with. Nice work though. Just get rid of that hood. Slammed on gsr blades would look nice.

Use an easy out or reverse drill bit on the bolt that is stuck inside the hood and it should come right out

Some one probably cross threaded the other hole so just use a taper tap to chase the threads and you will be able to put a bolt in there


You can buy both of those tools cheaply at sears and its very easy and quick to do.


Car looks good by the way
