Gtx has a turbo!! lol

Re: UPDATE!!! Nic Gtx down for now. ... 40th up and running on a 3.4 :)





So I got my wg in for the turbo build I was told it was a 35mm but it's definitely a 38mm, I had measured it and it's 38mm also compared pictures of the two wg,and I think I got a great steal on it for 75 shipped :) very low miles too going to check the spring to make sure it's not to much boost for the build at first lol
 


Re: UPDATE!!! Nic Gtx down for now. ... 40th up and running on a 3.4 :)

Do you have a snake in your engine bay? :th_laugh-lol2:

Where did you end up getting the MPD Wide-Body kit anyways? I doubt you paid $1,000+ from their website.

That is snake skin lol, and I got it off a buddy he got it new and never used it, so I got it off him for a quarter of the price and he threw in the sd hood I have on the 40th. It's crazy that the body kit is like 2000 and what ever shipping might be for something that huge
 
Re: Gtx going turbo almost done:) 40th intercoolerd almost done lol

wait. is that ray's MPD widebody kit?

i only ask since he had the kit with the premade fenders that only the first batch had available
 
Re: Gtx going turbo almost done:) 40th intercoolerd almost done lol

I like everything but the snake skin, truthfully. Snake skin makes it look like the Crocodile Dundee edition, IMO. "That's not a Grand Prix, This is a GRAND PRIX" Well, that and the right rims for the wide body kit, but I'm sure you'll have some deal worked out on those soon...if you don't already.

The snake skin is more for show, your going to remember the car that has a hole snake skin thing going on in the engine bay lol, and for the rims I will have the gtx rims with maybe a fatter tire I want to have the full gtx still
 
Re: Gtx going turbo almost done:) 40th intercoolerd almost done lol

a little work I have done the last two days:)












Just need to get more sand paper in the morning and I can finish the front bumper what do you guys think this is my first time with body work like this,
 
Re: Gtx going turbo almost done:) 40th intercoolerd almost done lol





I have to do a little more primer and then sanding and I can lay the silver on tomorrow:) not bad for my first time doing body work
 


Re: Gtx going turbo almost done:) 40th intercoolerd almost done lol

Looks good.

With my experience with Bondo, or any body work, be sure to sand the bumper EXTREMELY smooth. Primer/Paint, will not hide any imperfections. Any "uneven" rivets/scratch marks/gouges will show up.
 
Re: Gtx going turbo almost done:) 40th intercoolerd almost done lol




yeah there are a few flaws in it, I'm going to have to fill in a little by the plate to stop the wired little bubble. But for the most part it is coming along well:) lots more work to go though
