CF hood and gas-lid,

[mtcavity1]

Yo fella's, I have been working my nuts off at the banquet hall, 12 hour days for a month straight through December. BUT, profit sharing has been keeping me even more busy. here is what I've been doing in my little spare time.







I installed the wideband and am working out a deal with PLX Devices to outfit my G with their entire line-up of feedback moduals. They have released a new gauge that is a small video screen and can be programed to support up to 4 sensor moduals.

Thank you Stewi for sending me their way!



Birdman sold me a yellow top dry-cell (CHEAP).



Megan CF Muffler.



APEX'i radiator cap (increases pressure).



And I blew out my oil cooler line, but that is for another post...

Summer is not comming fast enough! :evil:

[Stewi]

No prob man, I like those guys at PLX alot. If it wasnt for the crazy deal I got on my Innovate wideband I would have got theirs. Car is looking good, keep it up.

Hell yea winter rims (it's been icey lately), but the chrome rims are getting a new set of tread and becoming my new winter rims. I'm waiting to get Birdman's rims, or new one's this summer.

You are lucky I could not find a hood without the gel-coat! I could have saved another pound or two (and no-one selling air-craft aluminium hoods for the G). It is all about the function, show cars are for show people. I have like 50 ciggarette burns and coffee stains on the interior, a far cry from pretty (probably like Goosy's G).

I will be looking over the body this spring, deciding on if I want the VR-4 bumper, skirts and rear valance along with a 5 speed swap. No more mods untill I get the HRC/EVO manifold installed and get to a dyno (Except for the PLX gear).

wow mtcavity, the CF hood looks great!!!
hard work + saving money= goodies for the car :twisted:

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Congrat bro, i know u wanted that hood/trunk combo sicne the last meet, looking great hopefull we get another meet once it gets warmer

[mrjaydeeone]

looks great. Damn another silver 8g on the east coast with CF hood and trunk :P

[mtcavity1]

You guys (Ron & Jay) know that I completely envied your G’s from the get-go. :D I do not think I have a friend that I did not show your rides to…

Now I just have to read all of the “EVO head/piston & rod upgrade” posts from Stewi and the 5 speed swap from Goosy.

When it is all said and done, you’ll be looking at an “IcedoutMr.Jay-Stewi’edGooseBirdman” Galant… With the cockpit of a commercial airliner (and hopefully the horsepower of an airliner).

I really appreciate all of the TGC’ers that I have had the chance to meet, and am eagerly awaiting summer to do it again.

i love the hood! Its about time for a body kit isn't it?

[mtcavity1]

looks phenomenal bro.

damn so your pretty much burning the shit outta your bumper huh?

Thanks.

No, just running an AFR of 10.8-11.8 at low boost (2-3 psi). It wastes fuel, but I feel more comfortable running the AFR richer untill I get to a professonal tune. The turbo is about the size of a 16G, and can put down full boost at 2400 RPM, which is a little hard to tune in considering it is also the range I am crusing when going 45-55. It is also from the oil cooler line spraying right on the exhaust when it ruptured. Black soot is alot easier to deal with than a engine rebuild. The Hahn Super 16G will bring the "full boost" level to around 2800-3000 RPM @ 10psi and should be a little simpler to tune in.

The black wipes right off, and the muffler actually never gets very hot at all.

Nice Hood..where did you buy it?

[mtcavity1]

Carbon Innovation - 909-595-3027

There are a bunch of companys that offer it though.

[JDM4G64T]

looks great. Damn another silver 8g on the east coast with CF hood and trunk :P

What a trend.... :P

[RAZ_76]

The hood looks great but I'm not really feeling the gas cover.

[Mike_Rom]

Nice!! Looks good!

[glantv699]

Damn Kory, good stuff, I'll bet your glad you were finally able to pick this stuff up for your car.

How does that muffler sound?

When it decides to warm up, meets for sure!
