The Green Monster

[Speeddm]

In the past im sure a few of you have read about a friends car the TSS had taken on and missmanaged. After over 2 years the car was finally pulled from TSS and with some guidance the customer began looking after the car on his own. We picked it up last month and brought it home to begin the long task of figuring out what was charged and paid for vs what was built and recieved. PLease lets be clear The quotes given sept 07 were pre paid oct 07. The body shop and interior was paid directly when we picked the car up last month

A few parties along that way did a teriffic job. Jeremy At LGM graphics Body painter extrordinare and Curtis Rafino the interior guy. Did incredible work.

PLEASE lets be clear this car is built to be a SEMA sterio show car. It is not my style personally but after working on the car and looking at the craftmanship LGM did with that crap BEE R kit and the amaizing leather work Curtis acomplished. I have become a fan of the car) . Chad from TSS did some good work to. I dont want to discount his work but the issues he was forced to overlook, over shadows his work. Example 3 Stripped bolt holes in a freshly machined crank were left and assembled. But Kudos Chad for giving me the heads up and saving a major failure.
THis car will be dissasembled to ensure nothing else was missed.

The car is going to SEMA with Trends and Drivesoft in 2010.
Anyways Enjoy the pics.

Please Keep negative coments to a minimum. Trust me Ive been giving the owner a hard time for over a year now. Theres little you can say that I havent already said.

wow... sorry to be blunt, but that is absolutely disgusting.

imo.

[Speeddm]

Again shut up. The negative coments are not needed. This is a Stereo show car. Not a driver. The interior is intended to focus on the stereo for SEMA. But yes the underhood will be completly changed. When I un TSS it.

[MikeRWK]

Underhood is nice, is that upper rad hose made from pipe and silicone couplers?

[Speeddm]

Its a Greddy Upper pipe kit. It is tidy but the Green and Blue has to go.

[MikeRWK]

Seriously? i thought someone rigged that up.

[C-unit]

thats no my cup of tea for sure...

appreciate the hardwork tho...

[Speeddm]

Got to appreciate the workmanship on the leather interior.

Are those stock injectors?

What wheels does he want to get for it?

[Infinity238]

I think it looks good, saw it at tss almost a year ago. Loved it then love it now.

Everyone has there own style, I suppose thats the owners. Gotta appreciate the guys creative dream and to be able to actually see it through past pen and paper to an actual car.

Definitely original, not my ideal direction for a skyline, but none the less very creative and unique.

That car has a lot of potential. That custom interior is insane, the detail stitching and lines of the dash are just unreal. That leather guy knew what he was doing. I also love the Suade? headliner with the godzilla scenes in it. The paint work looks quality, but I think the car would have been more dope with a pearl white color exterior and the green motor.

Obviously there is a few things I think are a bit overstated but really... that is what wins at those car audio shows, all they care about is flash.

Loose the stickers, the godzilla head in the trunk, Swap those ugly wheels for some Keskin KT1's or BBS CH's, have the cars out side paint toned down and clean up the bay and I think it would be a hot car. (oh and finish the interior)

[Speeddm]

There is definatly some changes being made to the car.
Vipec
800cc injectors
fuel rail
regulator
Intank pump upgrade
Engine will come out to verify the work done.
It goes back to Van for the interior finish work in the spring once im done with it.
Crank needs to be fixed
Twin plate Clutch
Brembo Breke upgrade. (Was paid for but vanished)
Koyo Rad (again paid for but ya)
All the anodized blue will be gone.
The Green engine parts will all be re done.
Trust me the list is really long.

Interior will be final fit in the spring. The stereo and drivesoft system will be finalized after the interior then off to SEMA .

Definitely looks like some hefty work was put into it. Kit fits VERY nicely, all the body lines look like they match up 100%. Even the little details (what looks like "gill"-shaped cut-outs in the fender slots) were carefully done. If the owner really likes the airbrushing, that's his call.

The craftsmanship on the interior is seriously something to behold, they did a insanely nice job with the stitching and fitment. The trunk setup is really nice too, only thing I'd change about it is the Godzilla head. It seems to detract attention from the main thing that the sponsor wants spectators to see most, that being the audio.

The engine's nice too, that Trust turbo's massive! Looks like it'll produce some crazy numbers. I can't wait to see what it'll look like when it's done!
