[legacy98gt]

nice car, hows it sound with the flowmaster? i was thinking of puttin one on my car

[slaytalera]

its got a nice deep tone to it, ill take a video on of these days, and put it here

[legacy98gt]

you hardly see flowmasters on 4 cylinders

[1-3-2-4]

Whoa selling the white one eh? I can't wait to hear this

[slaytalera]

yea it sounds great, someone had the same muffler on their wagon at the yearly SL-i meet reason hosts and i knew i just HAD to get it for mine

[)2edline]

I think that was BlackBK, and yeah, it sounded fantastic.

[1-3-2-4]

Was that the first summer meet and we kinda like all arrived at the same time? I think when he started his car up everyone looked over it was sweet sounding.

Had to be him because I don't think I saw any other black BK's

[slaytalera]

i could have sworn it was a BG, but i do remember it was black...it was the one where my crank pulley decided to fall off as we were about to cruise :lol:

[dplacencia]

yeah it was the black gt wagon... so is this green one in better shape then the white one?

[slaytalera]

yup, bumpers are in good shape, rust is in good check on the body, no epic crack in the windshield lol

[slaytalera]

[Navi271]

Eh.. not a huge fan of the over processed look. Idk if it work in that pic. But that's just me!

Oh, and YAY SNOW

[TGX4776]

agreed a no go on the over processed look

[slaytalera]

cool, just thought id give it a shot, i edited in the original under it

[slaytalera]

SO after years of drooling, searching, and saving, ive finally got myself a GT-B Limited bumper
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/04/982f14b1-1.jpg

also got a FX-R projector swap...i was gonna take pics of the output and beam pattern... BUT

blasted deer ran infront of my car so close i had no time to react in a way that would have saved the car...so full steam ahead into 400+lbs of deer

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/04/d9f7e206-1.jpg

[fwa2500]

f-king deer :smt013

so sorry to see that, dude :( it was looking quite good! on the plus side, it looks like the bumper and lights mostly survived, but i have no idea how bad it is really. really hope its not as bad as it looks in the photos

[slaytalera]

It looks a lot worse then it is
needed a new hood, radiator, radiator fans and condenser, and i need to source out some replacement jdm lights, hopefully local, if not i have a set waiting for me over seas...large mallet took care of the bends in the rad support and bumper beam(gotta love the JDM bumper beam :lol: )

[fwa2500]

well thats good, definitely could have been alot worse. and +1 on the JDM bumper beam, i was seriously surprised how light it was compared to my stock usdm bumper. instant 30lb weight savings, haha

[sybir]

Eeeesh, sorry to see that - hope it goes back together ok, and I'm glad your bumper skin was safe - I love that setup.

What did you do with the stock OB bumper? I'm still on the lookout for a clean one with factory paint....

[httrdd]

I have an ac condensr if you need one

[rougeben83]

ouch, that sucks dude. Silver lining is that at least you didn't paint the bumper yet? Those headlights noooooo...

[Subieee]

Ahh!! I just picked up the L7 grille from the dude you got that bumper from
Sorry man, hope all is well
Kinda wish i bought that bumper lol

[slaytalera]

he has another for sale, luckily the bumper survived haha. i just bought another set of headlights from him. Just as an update, cars almost back up and running, just waiting on the headlights

[slaytalera]

Getting back to the way it was, unfortunately rocking a scoopless hood, anyone wanna trade?? re-repainting the grill satin black, thinking about rattle-canning the whole car satin black until i can swap and get her professionally repainted

[slaytalera]

Hey guys, its been a while. The car never made much progress from what you see above, but the car was rear ended and totaled a month ago :cry:
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/10/c542a4d4-1.jpg

[dplacencia]

Damn that sucks!!!!

[Navi271]

wtf man... First a deer and now this!? I guess this car was unlucky. You selling parts or getting another 2nd gen to replace this one?

[slaytalera]

Yea im convinced the car was cursed, the old lady that sold it to me was one of those types that didn't get rid of ANYTHING, so I'm convinced that it was cursed, it also had the motor blow up twice, once was a random spun bearing(fresh oil and full, wasn't pushing it too hard) and after that got fixed i made it to 3000 miles and the crank pulley literally exploded....im almost happy to see this car gone. Anyway I kept the important parts(wheels, headlights, bumper) and the rest was taken by insurance to be scrapped.

As for the replacement car, I picked up a 92 SS that i put a thread up for, hopefully that project will go A LOT smoother then this car did

[1-3-2-4]

wow dude that sucks big time!!!

[TGX4776]

how much for the front bumper!

[Dead91silvia]

how much for the front bumper!

LOL! I would have asked also, if I didnt have mine already!

That bites man... Sometimes its needed to move on to another car when a car takes that much out of you...
