That's a great idea, Rocky.   It won't be long before the leaves start changing...

Picked her up at a little dealership over in St. Peters, MO.

YES!! We need to get another meet together! That would be MUCH easier for me to get to!   ;)  

Still mulling over going to Rocketman's NE Gathering, but that's 900 miles and 16 hours away.

I'll start another thread and see if there are any other folks interested...

Tony,that looks great! I have been wanting to do the same.Do you know the diameter of the turbo inlet?Rocky

Title: I'm BAAAACK!!
Post by: tonlaw71 on August 30, 2011, 12:29:00 PM

It's about 1 3/4" but I used a 2" coupler and just tightened it down good. It's a tight fit getting that filter onto the MAF, but it seems to be holding up pretty good. Now to do the rest of it!

It's getting better. Just have to get rid of that little red breather filter and she'll be all better!! LOL The BOV and that curved pipe look black, but they are a really deep purple. Painted right over the red. It looks really good in the sun!!

Looking much better! You need a new valve cover, though.....your current one takes away from the overall look......

Post by: tonlaw71 on September 08, 2011, 10:59:00 AM

Thanks, Russ! And I'll bet you know just where I can get a pretty new valve cover, huh? LOL I like the idea of silver with blue letters. We'll talk.

nice LED turn signal mod i was thinking the same but dont know what LEDs to use. what kind did you use?

Title: I'm BAAAACK!!
Post by: tonlaw71 on October 23, 2011, 04:39:00 PM

Thanks! I just picked up the LED light strip in the accessories section at the parts store. Just make sure you get the ones with the LEDs on the edge, not the side. It should specify on the package.
