[Reason]

Love the color, that tip must be something special :wink:

[LGT Kirby]

$110 special. HAHA. The guy I bought it from never put an exhaust tip on it, after the muffler, so I had to put one on. =P

[lord flashheart]

did u just do a rebuild? or did u poot sum goodies in there too?

BTW, is that a 74 camaro in ur garage?

[subaru13]

I remember seeing this thing up for sale on craigslist awhile back.

[LGT Kirby]

I never cracked open the block to put in new internals, so just a rebuild. And its a '77. Close.

And yes it was on Craigslist a few months back, before and after I bought it. Its most likely going to be up for sale again pretty soon.

[lord flashheart]

Its most likely going to be up for sale again pretty soon.
oh nos! why?

[DarkPhoenix]

Where do you have the IAC routed to?

[BG5guy]

hey, whats the dimensions of those mud flaps, i just bought the universal kit and need to cut to fit. Steller ride bro

[LGT Kirby]

Lord- I might downgrade to more of a daily driver 1.8 Impreza, and buy my friends '91 Galant VR4 and build that instead.

Dark- Idle Air Control? Idk I didn't do anything custom, I just plugged it all back to where it needed to go and called it good. :lol:

BG5guy- I didn't cut them. I like how they stick out a little, so I left them like that. I forgot the dimensions, something like 12"x15"?

[LGT Kirby]

Going camping tomorrow! Looking forward to many pictures, and getting my car a little dirty.

[LGT Kirby]

BUMP for 10 months of UPDATES

[LGT Kirby]

In the market for a roof rack system. Obviously the type that don't mount to the factory one. Let me know if you have something.

[subiman2005]

[LGT Kirby]

Finished some wiring and working on my new set of wheels. Also painted my hella's to match the new wheels.

Bought some JDM aeroguards so that will be the next update.

[LGT Kirby]

Bump for some new goodies!

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/04/0121-1.jpg
Will be doing some repainting on these of course.

Also got me a new sidekick. F*** domo, meet Toby.

More to be updated soon!

[mycargoesvroom]

Looking good man! Did you do the new wheels in white?! Shit's gunna look hot!

[BG5guy]

Lookin good, whats your plan for those gold rims?

[LGT Kirby]

Yeah the 05 LGT wheels are white with LOTS and LOTS of clear on them to help with the staining. Also one of them is a little more special than the others. I'll post pictures of that later.

Uhmm as of now the gold wheels I'm debating on. I want to go much wider than 7", so I really don't have much of a use to them. However I paid $1400 brand new for the wheels and tires not ever 5 months ago.. Idk we'll see.

[LGT Kirby]

OOOPPSS forgot to mention that I've been selected for an upcoming SL-i magazine article!

[mycargoesvroom]

Nice! I've been thinking about swapping my Rota's for some LGT wheels.

[LGT Kirby]

Your Rota's are sick though!

[lord flashheart]

ill trade you my LGT wheels for those rotas!! those are sick!

[mycargoesvroom]

ill trade you my LGT wheels for those rotas!! those are sick!

If they're 17" and you can somehow manage to magically get to Alabama I'm down!

[LGT Kirby]

Just finished ordering my complete Yakima roof rack system.
Also painted my grill all black and painted the aero guards black as well.

Pics to come!
