Next up: 2zz swap :burnrubber:

Dont even doubt me for a second either!! I havent even mad my fifth payment on this car, I have issues.....:headbang:

[brickhardmeat]

That was cleanly done. I am sure a ton of people will rip you for it but I think it looks kinda cool. Is it vinyl? Reminds me of walter's car but he had a little different take on it.

[nqd]

CLEAN!!!

you should pinstripe thends where black meets silver...

(im waiting for my third payment..lol)

[Turbo&Auto]

Walter Pipino or something like that???

I actually stole the idea from him, i told him though :) Great idea, I really like the look of it. some hate it, some love it. Its one of those things


Its painted on! Did I mention I paint?

[brickhardmeat]

you got anything planned for the emblems?


you gotta get some chrome turn signal bulbs and get rid of that fried egg look, this cam up in another post today, will look much cleaner

nice job on the paint

[nqd]

Question....are the GTI front end gloss black or flat?

[Turbo&Auto]

gloss, I checked it out.

I plan on hyperblacking all the emblems. if you check out my site in the custom paint section you can see some examples of it

[brickhardmeat]

oh yeah I remember you now

if I wasn't totally intimidated by paint I'd do a few things but it would end up looking "crafty" on my car

[johnnyfive]

looks pretty slick, and since you bring up walter, wasnt he the one that was trying to swap front ends with a sedan?...really wonder if he ever got that done...maybe i should try and use the search buttons ><

[Turbo&Auto]

I'm pretty sure he's still in what he calls :shamu: mode. He has his painted all the way up to the hood line. I didnt really like that, I didnt think it matched the GTi. But thats just my opinion. I still like his car too. The PS of his car with the red wheels is hot as hell!!

I will be doing the 2zz swap, no doubt about it. I have the wiring diagrams for both and have been making a spread sheet and how-to for myself during my lunch hour at work.

I have a 98 Impreza RS with a 02 WRX swap, I'm no stranger to swaps or LOTS of work. If you check my site you can see some of the cars I've built/owned.

Thats my Accord with a modified DSM turbo kit and BIG 16G turbo. It ran a 14.5 with terrible tires. now it has a JDM F20A DOHC motor with a T3/T4 50trim. Its not quite done but should make in the neighborhood of 300whp and run into the 12's with street tires and my custom traction bars :burnrubber:

I do all of the work myself from the metal fab to the tuning. I socketted my own ECU (I build circuit boards and test them by day) and programmed a standalone setup from a crappy basemap. My car ran smooth as hell. My buddy with a turbo colt used to hate on my skills until I let him drive my car and it was a HELL of a lot more driveable and smooth then his DSM. He socketted his ECU thanks to me and we tuned that baby smooth as glass now. 342whp with a small 16g turbo!! PLENTY of power for that car.....

[brickhardmeat]

I thought walter sold the car and got a rabbit:confused:

He hasn't been around in a while.

[eTiMaGo]

looks good, non-flash outdoor pictures would give a better view :wink:

but, I like it...

As for a 2ZZ swap, I guess you'll beat me to it :laugh:

[Turbo&Auto]

I owned a 00 Golf 1.8T, does that count for anything??? LOL!

Doesnt work for me but my style isnt well regarded around here anyway.

[Turbo&Auto]

Everyone's opinion counts. It's 50/50 on other sites too. More people seem to like it on here though :)

[brickhardmeat]

I think some people take there cars a bit too seriously it is nice to see a few people just enjoying them.

[Turbo&Auto]

I enjoy every minute. The modifying, the cleaning, the driving. I'm the true definition of a car nut. HI!

[eijikikimaru]

I really enjoy looking at your website. I especially like the painted interior, the fiberglass custom interior roof, and the custom rearrangement of the vent dials. Those were some very nice touches. Wonder if you're nearby to get some custom work done.

[Turbo&Auto]

I ship worldwide. I've done work for people all over, seriously! Some dude paid 250 in shipping just to get the gauge pod I make for a Matrix, no one else out there makes them.


My site is out of date honestly. There are a LOT more vids now, like:
http://www.nicksturbomatrix.com/350zdown.3gp
That was a Neon ACR I owned for a lil bit, slight build on the motor with a 75 shot of nitrous. I was quite quick for what it was. Made 200whp on the bottle, 175wtq.

You can hear the car take off and then I hit the Nos in the vid, notice we're pretty even at first and then....well.....

The car was TOTALLY stripped down with a cage and many many other lil goodies. It was honestly kinda painful to sell it :(

[Black Yaris]

style? you don't have style.... you have a rice-a-roni, the San Fransisco Treat

as a member of the yaris community I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT but its my .02....
:clap:.... I kinda have to agree, not a good look for the yaris, but hey if is your car, do with it as you wish... but hey if you 2zz it, who cares what it looks like if you are fast, huh?

[brickhardmeat]

as a member of the yaris community I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT but its my .02....

ouch!

I think it looks like a professional job. I wouldn't do it to mine but I am pretty basic. I think it may look interesting with some scallops coming up the hood actually and the badge blacked out then some more scallops down the side and maybe even on the roof.

[Turbo&Auto]

And what does your creative and original ride look like? Since you put your .02 out there lets see what you have......

[Turbo&Auto]

hmmm.....nothing....interesting


anyway, a day shot of my fugly car

[eTiMaGo]

Hey I think it looks fine, works well with the front lip :smile:

[Turbo&Auto]

I'm prolly going to get a CF splitter for the front, maybe that will bring it together more for those that dont like it.

[Yaris Revenge]

I believe T&A is suffering from what experts call "Veedub Envy". :biggrin:

Not a fan myself, but nicely executed! :clap:

~YR

[Turbo&Auto]

I do miss my vdub, but it was a HUGE hunk of shit!!!! I will NEVER buy another new Vdub. MK2 or earlier for me :)

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

And what does your creative and original ride look like? Since you put your .02 out there lets see what you have...... hahahaha no need to be posting my stock car but a few owners on here have seen it.....

[Turbo&Auto]

I just see a crap load of badges......

[seanele]

I owned a 00 Golf 1.8T, does that count for anything??? LOL!

not really..cuz you didn't mention earlier...:biggrin: ...jk man.

btw,
i don't recal they made '00 Golf 1.8T..??
GTi 1.8T..yes, but not Golf.

There are Golf GLS...but not Golf 1.8T

[seanele]

i've been with 6 GTIs and 1 GLI (my current ride)
and by 2009, i'll be saying goodbye to the GLi,
and say hello to the R32. (already put deposit).



..i've heard about that HUGE chunk of s***t thing,
but a real vdub owner..knows how to take care of their car.
i never had any problem with my VWs,
except for that windows thing with my '01 Golf and '03 GTi..:rolleyes:
(dealer took care of them in a recall program)

...

[brickhardmeat]

no more VW for me, there only chance was bringing the polo over, there little every man economical cars have turned into problematic, unreliable, gas guzzling, over sized hogs, with way too many fancy bells and whistles for me, I wanted a stylish, simple and economical car-yaris

[Walter]

I miss my VWs, thats why I just bought a Mk2 to play with =)

Oh, BTW... Im still here, Ive just been uber-busy!

[brickhardmeat]

glad to hear that, MK2 and earlier is cool!

glad you kept the yaris, it's one of my favorites on here

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

I just see a crap load of badges...... you mean READ a bunch of badges, cause u ain't seen shit......

[Turbo&Auto]

True dat, doesnt change that theres just a crap load of badges though....


Hi Walter :)

I assure you I owned a 00 Golf GLS, which was offered with a 1.8T motor. I owned it, I would definately remember......

ohhhh, so you meant to say that even though your car is ass ugly that you think its better than mine cause you got work done to it huh??? i guess to each his own......

[Astroman]

Could we have this thread locked already? :thumbdown:

[Turbo&Auto]

F*ck all that arguing BS, I'll stop if you do as well......Although it breaks up the boredom at work at bit :P

My Golf had a problem where the sunroof would just open randomly, and the weirdest part is that it could happen while the car was parked.....I know how to take care of a car, this had issues that were not preventable. The Oil pump died and then the motor. I was moving pretty damn fast when it happened so it just destroyed the engine. They wanted an insane amount of money to repair it so I got out of it ASAP. Sucks cause I just got the Oettinger kit painted and installed before it happened. I shouldve removed it before I traded the car in but you live and you learn.....

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

ok i'll stop bashing volkswagon boy in this topic but as for others?????

[Turbo&Auto]

Very Nice :)

[Vanderkitten]

I would have done a flat black... but it looks clean!

[Turbo&Auto]

Someone else said that too on another site...Everytime I try to flatten clear it works out poorly for me....

[seanele]
