Got my new ride
Link to pics below...
Wednesday night I got the car home, last night I gave it a good washing from the 1100 trailer ride home, it was a mess. I pulled out the ATR Chip that was in it. The address on the chip was a CA address..they haven't been out there for a LONG time! I put in a Jay Carter chip I had from my GN a few yrs back, adjusted the TPS, set the fuel pressure and that's about it. Next will come some mods, 50#ers, te63e, 3"thdp, 3k 9x11, and the usual stuff, guages etc.. The condition of the car is really hard to describe. Even my low mile TTA(7500 miles) was not in as nice a shape. The glass on the car is so clear, not even a water mark/spot, I've never seen anything like it...well on a new car yes obviously. The paint is glossy, no dings whatsoever and no discoloration. The vinyl pad is glossy and supple, no dryness or cracking, I've got to ask the previous owner what he used as it obviously did an excellent job.. The wheels are growing on me. The chrome door key guard is coming off this weekend as well as the GN "Intercooled" emblem under the "T" on the fenders which the orig. owner put on. The decklid emblem is in the wrong spot and will be fixed next week as well. Of particular interest...take a look at the door pics. Where the window switch originally went there is a 1" tweeter with a custom made grill. The switch was relocated on the lower panel to next to the door lock switch. It looks really good there and the original location hole was not modified at all. The stereo sounds great also!! For guages, I like the Autometer Phantom series and think they would look very good with this combo and actually thinking about a GNX cluster setup w/the phantoms in it..not sure on that yet. http://www.tta89.net/joe/
