Introduce myself.

www.mdhall.com (http://www.mdhall.com) is my website. I don't update it all that much because, well....I think it sucks. I just don't have the skill/time to make one that looks better.

it's a project car in Nissan Performance Mag. www.nissanperformancemag.com (http://www.nissanperformancemag.com) project QG18DE Turbo.

the trophy is like 2 years old, it was best nissan at a moderate show here in Tallahassee.

car was in better shape then, the front bumper wasn't fubar and there weren't so many damn scratches on the doors ( I f*cking HATE parking lots).

It's always a project, but now I'm more on the way to where I want to be than i was back then.

I agree. I think the specV headlights that come black instead of chrome inside would look very good with that color car and rim combo.

yah I agree with that as well. The headlights on there now have some bad blemishes and stuff, I've got some 2 step 3M plastic polish on the way. If that doesn't do it, I will be looking to get new headlights.

That bumper is going, as it's all sorts of fubar, and a stocker is going back on (original 2001 GXE style) but I really need to pick up some sideskirts for it.

LS1Fever------of course it's slow. What would you expect? lol

welcome to the TR!


...I'm waiting on a heatwrap comment....

well the manifold and turbine housings are thermal coated. so I took some 1200* paint and painted the jpipe, baked it at 500*, painted, baked again, and used that fiberglass wrap. The stuff works great.


No times yet (that is, on a clutch that didn't slip). When I get my tuning down, and make sure the clutch functions properly, I'll be taking it to the the track with slicks.

Don't expect much though.
