Turby Winter '08/'09 rebuild **"almost done" pics, post 424

nice pick up

i know what you mean lol, going from my stock seats to just rsx seats (not even racing seats) i feel trapped with all the restraints. you get used to it tho and they’re actually SO much more comfortable once you get a good feel for them

Is that seat lighter than stock?

So how much for the awesome seats?

dave ill let ya know in person how much the seats were…dont know if im supposed to spread the price around. they were a lot less than the 1600 for seats/belts/brackets that most other places advertised them for.

got a decent amount done this weekend. got the driver side tub mostly in. it is mostly welded in place. caulked it on the outside. still have some trim work to finish up on. but i got sick of working on it and started working on other shit. i have about 1-2hrs left on that side to get it where i want it. the other side should be much faster now that i know what and what what not to do. i CAN’T WAIT until this is done.

tore out all the stock stereo harness. a LOT of wire was removed. got kinda messy up front where it combined with other harnesses, but we managed to fish it all out. there were a couple wires that went to the computer and steering wheel that i dont want to mess with, but i removed about 98% of the harness plus the stock amp which is nice. no need to keep shit in there im not using.

cleaned up the rearend a little bit more and removed the pinion. didn’t really feel like hosing all the insides out and getting wet and dirty, especially in this weather.

went to sandblast the suspension and the sandblaster gave me issues AGAIN, and it was really late so i didnt want to be fussing with it.

hopefully i can sneak in there this week and work on finishing the DS tub and start on the other side. if i could finish the tubs by next weekend, that would be awesome. once the cage is in, the rest of the car is going to roll pretty quick. cant wait to get the new carpet/seats/cage/harness/stereo all in. it’s going to be a completely new car inside.

everyone is having sales lately…i know some of you will call me a ricer, but i like them, and decided to get some of these:

they match my phantom guages

Sweet white gauges ricer :lol:

Speedo only hits 150, thats not nearly enough!

Looks good so far. I want a friggin’ garage. :meh:

Its 160 :slight_smile:

They make 200mph white ones…get those :lol:

i like them. I had a set on my SHO and they bubbled though. Make sure u smooth them out real well and don’t leave the car in the heat to bake. The vinal can distort easy. I hope yours hold their shape better than mine did.

I agreeded on the white rice :tup:

Are you going to be Baller and get the T/A gauge cluster bezel as well?

Oh and :tup: to custom works on a bang up wiring job!

Granatelli stopped making the 200mph speedo’s.

I never knew they even made 200mph gauges, I was always jealous of those GTO’s

Plan on going over 150?

mine had a problem illuminating

Stock SS seats > *, those looks cool tho.

The 2001 seats i had in my iroc were the most comfortable things ever, ask matt how he likes them lol :tup: good work bud

I let off when they do!!!

Reading your posts seriously make me wish this was my job:

It would be less painful.

meh. my car is slow

sorry it was a inside joke to someone else who posted in the forum… i know it makes no sense. :roflpicard:
