Here is a pic of the billet fuel door going on the car when it gets painted...This one is curved, so it will fit the countour of the car...

I'm a tad iffy about that fuel door. Looks too chromey (sp?) for that kind of car, especially if its gonna be black. Solid black body would look better imo, and again its just my opinion, your car.

I know what you guys think about the Billet Aluminum (not chrome) fuel door...But for me, it fits the look and attitude I am looking for. My whip is to look primarily like the stock 97-2000 model, but more aggressive by lowering it, polished aluminum and chrome wheels, the polished billet badges, the older rear spoiler, and the polished billet fuel door. This is a luxury coupe with one hell of an "attitude"....So, that is why I like it. Now, if I get it on there, and I do not like the polished look on it, it is simple to powder coat it black....Basically, I want the look and performance of a SC400 that is pumping iron, and on "roids"...

OK. We figured out the problem with the Tial...The spring is not the correct one...We are ordering and hopefully picking up the heaviest duty spring we need tomorrow...What we did was to swap another Tial from an EVO, and everything worked properly...Car is running perfectly...The car is driving as well, but only in the parking lot.

What is left to do? The WIdeBand, boost gauge, oil gauge, turbo timer and water injection are being installed tomorrow. As well as the brackets for the exhausts. Car will be done tomorrow or Saturday. I wil flim it driving...

Here is a pic of the filters...This pic does not do them justice...

OooOoooOoo! Are you doing post turbo or pre turbo? I'm assuming pre to help spool them big twins! I can't wait to see the pictures.
