Pics of my 8k mile, cloth TTA

[ttafan]

Thought some of you would enjoy some pics of a nice TTA. I'm not finnished the project yet, but It pretty much looks how it's going to look when it's done. Shooting for 9's in 2007.

I love the cage. Do you have any pictures of the side of the passenger side of the motor? If you do, could you please email or post them up? Looks great.

Is this what you are looking for?

 

[Quiky One]

Nope lol...A direct sideshot from the passenger side...Specifically of the turbo, downpipe, and headers.

The competition looks good... I think he needs another nozzle put on there soon.

Trent, got your email about the knock.. dont know how to answer. I need to look at my settings.. but wont be able till she's running again. Be a couple weeks.. I'll try not to forget.

Well, I guess it does take a certain mindset to do that. Please bear with my ignorance but how did you get that cage in there and paint it? I never figured out how that can be done.:redface:

It was built in the car and tac welded temporarily. When it was done, it was pulled back appart and taken out of the car for the main coat of paint. Then, once dry, put back in the car and tig welded. After the welds cooled, the joints were then painted inside the car. The paint is a special fast drying paint. Any overspray dries in the air. Very durable and scratch resistant stuff. Turned out great. Personally, I think the cage adds to the look of the car. It's done with class. It might have dropped the value of the car to someone else but to me, it's worth more.

True and it's your car. You will also thank your self if you get t-boned or hit the wall at the track...The car will be totalled anyway but you will be safe.

I thought something like that would have to be done but haven't talked to about it with anyone. Sounds like they did a nice job with it. Is that paint an automotive paint?

Yes, Bill made that for me. That's the O2 sensor weld bung. There is another one also. Its for the FAST system.

I'm gonna' try like hell to get in the 9's on a stock IC. Bill thinks it can be done with the Alky. Just have to get some bottom end work done so I can crank it up. The 10.7 I ran was on a semi conservative launch. And my first and last run with the T-brake for the season. Can't wait till spring.
