Pictures You've Taken of Your TGP/ TSTE

[Fred931]

The rain left a couple of hours ago, so I was able to get some pics mid-afternoon as well as at sunset by the bay:

Congrats on getting that TGP, especially at your age. ;) You can definitely tell it's been cared for over the years as everything looks to be in great shape. I'm surprised the driver's seat is still in that good of condition. :thumb:

It was actually a lot dirtier on the outside when I first saw it. Like I said, the owner had nowhere to park but under a big tree. Lots of wildlife & dirt and leaves had a habit of liking the car, inside and out, but the cover we have for it now gets rid of most of that. Dawn wash, dry, clay bar (ICE Liquid Clay Bar), dry, Nu-Finish got a lot of the crap off. Previous owner parked it facing the bay, so that explains the clear-coat corrosion on the tops of the bumpers and the side mirrors.

Very nice example of a low mileage TGP. You stole that car for 3k. Congrats on the purchase...   :icon_mrgreen:

      Everything looks real good, but change those tire's back to a 245/50/16 unless your going aftermarket. A TGP just does not look good with a 225/60/16.

I think those are actually 215/60/16's(that's what the size visible in one of those pictures appears to be). Looks like the previous owner tried to match the tires to the stock diameter more closely so the speedo wouldn't be as far off.

I think that dial became a little more optimistic after the tire change, so that can't be it. He knew the width would be off, but he just wanted a normal all-weather tire.

The speedo will read 2% slower with that 215/60/16 size vs. the stock 245/50/16. Not sure if you're read this yet, but the speedo's in our clusters are commonly off(they read high). The HUD's are usually spot-on though.

That's precisely the case.

Cleaned the seats today, Maybe i should do the entire car..   :icon_redface:
Just installed a T2871 hybrid and some 38lb design III injectors.  Still working on the tune...   :icon_twisted:

Are the seats done with just the usual leather/interior/whatever wipes?

Just make sure you don't fly out of the seat when you make a hard turn.  :laugh:

I used Meguiars leather conditioner and let it soak a a bit. Seems to work very well...
