It would be great if you could document the headliner install. I'll be doing it myself soon. I've updated my thread with some new pics as well...

I have been following your threads, might have missed the last update though, will go check it out.

I will see what I can do for pics etc on the headliner install. There are a couple of good threads on here that I have found too.

Cheers

Jeff,

I've been following your build.. wasn't sure it was the same when I saw the green car in another thread today! Congrats dude.. looking good! How is that 3.4 coming along... any pics?

Also, haven't forgot.. need to get back with you in a bit about wheel halves...

Paul

Paul,

On the first tune with about 800 miles on the motor it made 285 at the wheels. Once I get reassemble I am going back to the dyno again for more fine tuning, temp correction maps etc. But it is running really really well!

Cheers

Wow Jeff the car looks great! Now you'll really have people trying to harass you into street races.

What made you decide to go all out and change it to Viper Green?

Well, truth be told I left the color choice up to my 5.5 year old son and 14 year old niece....

Next thing you know, you have a bright green car..........

Cheers

No wimping out!! I have worked with automotive paint for 20 years at the OEM level. Painted tens of thousands of component parts on an assembly line. Painted my own few parts on the Carrera BUT... I'd NEVER try painting the whole car!!! It looks awesome. Sometimes we just have to know our limitations. You'd have felt like crap if it had dry spray, sags and such.
Yes please post pics once it's all together.

Jeff, are you going to put carrera graphics on it? It would be cool to do another shade of green if you did, instead of the black. But that's just me...

Cool idea, like 2-3 shades lighter/darker of the same color. Maybe someone could photoshop it.

Exactly. I'm doing something similar with mine:




Jeff, if you send me a direct side shot like this one, I'll do it for you.

If you're lucky, I'll do a stellar version of it, like this one:

Photo shop help needed.

Hmmm, I had considered black graphics or yellow....... Those are the track wheels, street will be my new 17 inch fuchs.... now you guys have me thinking......

It may have more than just the side graphics when it is done, not sure yet....

Cheers

emptyo, could I ask you to do one for me? It's guards red but still may look cool. The gray looks sweet as hell.
