Title: Our TGP finally moving again, no way?!?!
Post by: z284pwr on April 05, 2005, 04:39:24 PM
I'm bored so I'll post some pictures....

After about 2 months of being down with a few different items, mainly being the $750 rebuilt PMIII Master Cylinder swap, the car is finally driving again, I REALLY missed how quick the car gets out of its own way compared to the TSX and Berettas, its like night an day :)
Anyways, after several hours of detailing, and removing the pinstripe, I was finally able to go get a few pictures

Thats all for now, I'm just about done modding it further for right now, were going to check on doing the exhaust on Friday, after that, it will probably be staying how it is for awhile....

You can't imagine the envy I'm feeling right now.

I've been putting endless work into getting the TGP on the road again, and all the while there's a constant nagging fact in the back of my head that even once it's actually drivable again, it's still going to look like ass.

That looks really nice.  Your car is rare in that the valence is there and in good shape.  :)   I like the polished IC pipe too.  What kind of BOV is that, and did you tap into the rear of the plenum for the source?

yeah, I am very happy the front valance is actually intacted and in good condition, luckily it has mostly freeway mileage so it didn't have much chance of getting damaged and the previous only always fixed the problem right away so it was well taken care of.

The Pipe and Diag. bars are actually chromed not polished

That BOV is an SSQV BOV and we tapped the source from the vacuum brake plug on the back yes.  It was T-ed and the other half is for the the boost gauge that is in the garage with no A-Pillar Pod to go in :(

Dang that is one good looking car.  I really like the chromed intake pipe!  It's got me thinking.

Awesome pictures of that very nice TGP Brian!  Those mountains make for a great backdrop for pics.  The underhood chrome looks sweet. 8)

Thanks everyone for the nice comments :)

Now if only we could figure out the stupid passenger door problem the car would be in good shape.  Its all ready for summer except for that lovely door, exhaust is being taken care of this weekend, that door. grrrr so weird :twisted:  :x  :twisted:

I REALLY like the chrome.. I may look in to doing that same thing, except doing the dogbone brackets and strut tower covers as well.
The car looks gorgeous, I need to get mine out of the garage and cleaned up.  8)
