...from its winter slumber.
But it looks like rain out, and have some parts I want to install on it so I brought it home and put it in my garage.

Nice Matt! looks good!
Can't wait to meet up this summer and see the car again! Hopefully I'll have my turbo CS ready and we can meet up later on in the summer too!!
Yeah sounds good, I'm really looking forward to having a couple meets.
Me 2. We need to have atleast one big one...I'd be willing to make the trip down for a weekend even if there was only a couple of us.....Lets try and set a date soon in May...maybe just maybe I'll put my TGP on the road and drive it for a bit and come down....
Yeah thats a great idea!
I woke my TGP up today.... too bad I can't find my camera! :icon_evil: I just washed and waxed it, then took her for a run. :icon_cool:
yeah I had thought about registering mine a few weeks ago, good thing I didn't cause we got about a foot of snow here last night. Mother Nature sucks this spring. Give us a break, I want to turn off my furnace!!
Looking good though! Didn't you have rims for it too? Where are they?
they are on my Z34
I was bored so I put some different stickers on it for this year

That box was actually from the bearing I put in my g/f's Alero. SKF was the brand, made in the USA, there are the same quality as Timken.
I am however, considering putting new front wheel bearings on the TGP while its all torn apart.
FFP Mounts installed:

Update: Yesterday I went to my parents house and dug up the 34mm front swaybar I had set aside for use in the TGP. I used a minigrinder and cleaned any loose rust/paint off of it and then painted it with POR 15.
YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE SWAYBAR WITHOUT LOWERING THE REAR OF THE SUBFRAME
Believe me, I tried.
Lowered Subframe:

better pics to come later....
Looking good, those are pretty decent pics from a phone.
Looks awesome man! :icon_cool:
Thanks
The phone is a Sony Ericcson 810 with a 2.0 MP camera.
That phone is on my to-buy list, as soon as my contract runs out with verizon I'm heading to AT&T. That phone gives me a warm feeling inside. And a stiff feeling in my pants.
Also, I still approve of this thread. Looking good!!
How does it ride with the Intax's up front?
The intraxs definately ride better than the ST springs in my Z34. I also have KYB's in the TGP versus the Sensatracs in the Z34 so that also makes a difference.
Overall, I'm pleased with the way it rides and handles for sure.
I'm gonna get me some of those coilovers, no more metal leaf for me. K THX BY
that thing is brutal, would be nice for a circle track as there is NO movement LOL. thing drives like an indy car I swear. Not that I know what thats like, but I can imagine.

That looks damn good Matt!! all it needs now is a 5 speed!!
There's a complete 284 setup lurking in my Dad's garage, should I decide to go that route. As long as the 4T60HD is working well, I'm not swapping it.
