thagremlin Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) <3 throw them twists off the gti on the quest always loved your car man, so sick! -Justinid love to try them on.. but they are 5x100 the offsets would require big spacers also 18.8.5 +30 front and 18x9.5 +25 rear Looking good. Did you ever get the pics from the guy that took some when me, you and Clay got together? Clay and I lost his email.ahh man nah i had it in my wallet for the longest time and i think it feel out when i went to the bar placed it in my pocket and then lost it everytime i tried to remind myself to email him i forgot by the time i got home. What's the size on your intercooler?its 29x11x3 bought it off ebay as a kit with piping from cx racing, then went to home depot and found these two L brackets and made them work, fits like a glovehttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/101_3013.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/101_3012.jpg Edited September 8, 2011 by thagremlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 is that bolt touching on the lower L to the ic? might want to slip some rubber in there so it doesnt rub a hole in your ic. Old radiator hoses work well. Get up to infineon on a wednesday so we can drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 i cant recall if it touching it. but ill check it out. man id love to come up and drift. but i need to come up with some cash flow and get this car smogged and reg.

thagremlin Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Haha thanks Justin. Yea they do look nice. But they don't provide the best visabity lol. And the carbon fiber templates have started to fade from to much sun exposure. I'll eventually make something out of aluminum. But for the most part they do provide a unique look.

thagremlin Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 so i finally got around to painting my valve cover. and while i was in there i went and replaced my valve cover gasket and cam plug. one of the 2 was leaking so i replaced both. i couldnt figure out what color to paint the VC. but i came to a color and it was black, VHT wrinkle black. with a sparkle finish. came pretty nice. of course looks alot better in person. so heres the beforehttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0004.jpgthen after stripping paint.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/1fa3f7ed.jpgafter first coat you can see its still wet but starting to wrinklehttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0162.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0164.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0161.jpgafter 2 hours of air drying looks like thishttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0172.jpgup close outsidehttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0168.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0167.jpg and then after hitting it with a heat gun for about 15mins i sprayed 3 coats of clear using the heat gun between coats. and let it dry for 24hours the final result (tried to capture it the best i can with the camera)http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0173.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0177.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/Starion%20stuff/SAM_0178.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/maricherry1987/76d783d3.jpg let me know what you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
