Very nice... they look best when you go with a simple and clean theme... blue with black in this case. With the 92-95's getting so old, it's nice to see some that are still well cared for.

No... it will move roughly with the gas pedal, but will also confirm the engine is developing the right about of vacuum and is free of vac leaks. Much better than putting a boost gauge on a non-boosted engine - this is really the same, just doesn't have positive boost pressure on the scale, as it wouldn't read above "0" anyway.

Thanks for all of the grate copliments. It took lots of time and lot of patients. and lots of tickets. The tint is 3% all the way around and the cops love that. but anything else would make the car look stupid. We went on clean lines and very simple. My hole plan and goal with this car was to win ga of the week. thats it. I will shoot some more pics up this weekend if I dont get blown away from the hurricane

OK. I misinturpreted vacuum gauge for boost gauge and was wondering why he would be putting one on an N/A car.

^ GAOTW is more about scenary and everything eles. Its not just a nice car. U posted pics of your car in some random driveway, not very nice scenary. Thats probably why you didnt get it.

BlueBomber
09-17-2006, 03:33 PM
suspension techniques /sprint springs all the way around, I got them because they were the lowest drop for the whole car.

I guess I stand corrected, I thought it was the lowest. These were so cheep it didnt even matter I think I paid 150 for them brand new. I think with the intrax I would rub. I had two people in the back seat the other day and I was tucking.
