I like the outline! It ads just enough to break up the red. Good job.

 

[Burninriverdiver]

Nice job on the outline! I probably would have messed up putting those on there straight

Yea for real, my dumb self could not have installed that lol

pretty slick looking tt!

 

[TTSaleen]

Thanks guys.
The water/soap helps when you don't get them right the 1st time. LOL!!
I had to redo each one repeatedly!!! Probably shouldn't have started the project when it got dark! DOH!
Flashlight install for the win!

 

[TTSaleen]

So on Saturday I decided to replace my stock clutch cable, plastic quadrant, and add a firewall adjuster to the Cobra.
Install was pretty straight forward and it is a better upgrade (especially getting rid of the plastic adjuster).
Grabbed a few shots @ Fastlane and then one of the G8 after I cleaned up both cars.

What cable, quadrant, and adjuster did you go with? And does that still have the stock clutch in it?

 

[bumblebee]

Dream car right there!

Now it only needs a turbo, or a couple of them

Check out my build if you haven't, not as clean as yours but I try..

It's the Steeda stuff. We sell it @ Fastlane so I get a sweet employee discount. LOL!!!
It has an aftermarket clutch, not sure of brand, but the pressure plate is RED. So it's probably a RAM I would suspect.
A little stiff, but appears to hold just fine.
I plan to pull the T56 eventually for the 26 spline input shaft upgrade. I'll replace the clutch with a McLeod twin disk at that time.

LOL!!!
Yes my plan is TVS with GT500 inlet and t/b along with 80# injectors.
Around 20# of boost and I'm thinking mid 600's on pump gas.

Awesome! I was just talking to the guys at VMP about you, actually talking about where I learned about the clay thing lol

So are you holding out on me bro?
You got a direct connection for a VMP hookup? :tongue3:
What's the SN95 discount? LOL!

Oh and NANOSKIN for the win!!

I just did my truck with Nanoskin clay and then Sealer this past week.
Check it out.

Thanks!
I actually perform detailing services on the side.
It started when I was trying to learn how to detail my own cars. I started getting requests from friends to do their cars and eventually worked out a range of options and prices. My typical detail jobs take between 8-12 hours.

[MENTION=16025]TTSaleen[/MENTION] I've been looking into nanoskin a lot. It's got to be a ton easier than clay. I'm assuming you use the orbital attachment?

I love my FLEX 3401. Set it to the lowest speed with the Nanoskin pad. Apply clay lube and run over a section at the time and wipe dry. Continue till all car is done including all glass.
Easily removes contaminants in a matter of minutes!
