Yes mate some nice nice shiny bits there... loox like the guard dog is about to help there..

Will be interested to hear how that I/Cooler affects the performance...

When will it all be fitted?

The car looks permanently wet, that wax you use gives top results....

Caishan is prolly looking at your car with his jaw on the ground... hahaha :evilgrin:

[triniVr4]

thanx ....it should all b fitted by Friday once the fabricaton for the i"C is done...


what wax i use?.....these two products....i'll take them to the grave wih me..

[Kieran]

Oh wow! They look superb!!:afro: :2thumbsup

And yes, it's real nice to see another owner who takes pride in their car's appearance. That is one deep, glossy shine there. Maybe you should visit the UK and teach a few of the people on here how it's done!! ;)

[Nick VR4]

Looking good... :2thumbsup :2thumbsup

[Spirit]

mmmmm, lovely shiney bits ! Can't wait to see the pix once it's all fitted :2thumbsup

[caishanvr4]

:bigcry: Trini...... you've done it again /notworthy Some serious shiny bits there bro

[bradc]

That looks great, I'm particularly interested in doing the front cam cover and the TB myself.

[soapy1978]

[triniVr4]

^^ got it electroplated actually....took me two weeks to get it done as there was a huge backlog of work at the company.


Now i have to deal with the wiring....any ideas?....i jsut think theres too many wiring looms hanging around.....grrrr

[BraindG]

OOoooh, now thats going to look interesting!..

Regarding the loom, perhaps a rewire? shouldnt't be to hard to do, I know that my loom is pretty nasty, the plastic piping is crumbling away, and the black tape. well thats just solid.

Hey Trini......

Firstly, really great looking shiny bits.................. Can't wait to see them in.

Now looking closely at one of your photos of the engine bay, I noticed some things attached to your firewall that I don't recognise or know what they are:speechles

Of coarse eveyone else probably does but.......... I don't.

/pan So sorry for the dumb question, but what are the items I've circled in the attached pic.:inquisiti

Cheers.........and keep up the good work with the mods.

[Nick VR4]

idont run down evo's out of mitsubishi respect...

Ooooooooooohh................Neat go fast bits..........yummmy

I want...........:2thumbsup

idont run down evo's out of mitsubishi respect...

I know what you mean about the respect thing, but have you tried chasing down an evo just to see how the car compares to evo? (I think I would need a couple of missiles strapped to mine to get anywhere near my pals evo 8 340)

Have you had a run up the quarter mile with NOS yet?

Hows the intercooler and shiny bits addition work coming along? :2thumbsup

Have you or any of your friends taken cars across to the strip in Grenada for an event? Is it expensive to take car across by sea?

Cheers

[triniVr4]

^ i'll answer the last question first....i'm going to Grenda on the 20th of July to compete in an regional meet there...the cost ship the car there is 900US (return) and that price includes al lduties paid and a ALL access pass by the organizers...

Thr machinst that s doign the intercooler work is cussin me right now cuz i want te cooler to be at a specific height....lol....hey im paying for th work...but its coming along good...

timed with the NOS not yet....my best time here was 13.3.

the car runs ok agianst the Evo's i think that down below it stay s with them till about 3rd gear....the n teh evos pull away...but up on top i reel them back in (post 190K speeds)...
