DSM + Big Turbo + Stance = My Build

[Dyesuperman]

Got a/c in the car so needed a different hood to cut down on overheating. Getting it painted when I get money saved up

Awesome car man; any videos of it

[Dyesuperman]

damn what a build! future plans?

Thanks man, future plans are to put the a/c in and fix the headliner. There are a couple others things I need to fix as well but those are the two near future plans

Matt Jones shoot this? I know he was in Springfield shooting a dsm. If so his work is amazing, I've worked with him on canibeat and S3 mag features.

You are correct good sir, Matt shot the car along with a couple others in town. I am excited to see his work!

June 24, 2012 - Prep for the S3 Magazine Shoot

Well a couple days ago (Tuesday I believe) I was contacted by the editor of S3 Magazine to do a feature on my car. I was ecstatic! He asked if it was running (another DSM guy I think lol) and I said yes, so his photographer contacted me and we set up a time and place to meet for the shoot. Now I only had a couple days to get my car picture worthy so I started throwing things together rather quickly.

Firstly, I took my 2gb side skirts to a friends shop (Kirk Kustoms) to be painted. I asked him if he could possibly have them done by Friday and he said sure. While I was there he offered a killer price on a full buff and detail for me...so I gave in and brought the car to him Thursday morning. Amazingly, the side skirts were almost done as well! So it worked out perfectly.

Jacked the car to get to the bottom screws for the side skirts better


Wetsanding on the hood began and I took off the front wheels to fit my screwdriver to take off the old endcap


Hood has been buffed over with rubbing compound


And now the bumper



By that time I had the old side skirts off and the new ones were finished drying, so on they went!



I have had crappy cut up carpet in my car for a while so I finally picked up some extra carpet and put it in Ritz dye for 24 hours before heading to the body shop for the buff and wax
Before being put in the dye


In the dye


Old carpet out


Annnd, I fail for after results lol. I will take a picture of it today to add to this


Anyhow, car being washed after the polishing compound did its work


And all done! Ready for its date with the photographer



I got a few pictures of the photographer at work. The car won't be featured until the November issue I believe so the anticipation will kill me, but I am excited to see some of the editing the photographer does to the pictures and what he shows me until then.



After the photographer was done, my friends and I needed to kill some time so we went and did a little photoshoot ourselves

Quoting these for the new page, so others who have shitty internet like myself don't have to wait as long.

Cars' looking good btw.

Haha thank you kind sir, the pictures on the first page were kind of an overload to certain internets. Thanks for the compliment as well

[waqii]

Man, I have exams, you cant post things like this out then -_-

Couple pictures from a meet a couple weeks ago






Couple I took of my engine bay

Oh, and a few pictures of my wheel/tire fitment. Car could go a bit lower to really give it some good fitment but the coilovers are maxed out and won't go any lower so this will do for now

It wasn't common back then. That was 2004 when that issue hit stands. When I saw it, I could not really comprehend a 10 second street car.

Yeah, those cams are amazing. I saw a set on a 1g tsi during a rebuild, and the car was pushing somewhere around 300 at the wheels on low boost when all was said and done.


This is one long page and is lagging my dsl out hahaha.

Lol yeah sorry about the hundreds of pictures, it has been a long build :P And yeah, back then it was crazy to see that but now with the capabilities of dsmlink and the popularity of E85 it isn't extremely uncommon anymore. Sure, not everyone has a car that fast, but there are definitely a LOT more than their used to be. I love the cams, they are sort of old technology but they work damn well. I am running 26psi and should be right around 400awhp with my trap speeds
