Super clean, Welcome

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Looks good. Clean, nice lines, nice paint, nice stance. Power can always be added later.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Where did you buy that for your upper radiator hose?

BTW nice looking non turbo. I can't decide whether I like those side skirts better than the turbo side skirts or not.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Wow that's one of the cleanest 1gs I've yet seen. So sad to see it's na :(

I also love the braided line going from the intake to the vc. lol so un-needed, yet so baller haha. Those things are pretty pricey aren't they?

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

i got the whole hose cover kit deal for 40bucks, hahaha, it just kinda adds to the engine bay. plus its covering up a piece of bright blue hose i used for my breather tube, HAHHA

Thanks for the kudos!

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

I've seen your car on a few forums now, still very clean. Welcome to the site.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Yea, but where did you get it from?

I'm interested in doing some non power adding engine bling.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Uber clean!!

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Very nice. Have you dyno'd it at all? Would be interesting to see what it does once it gets a little tune done.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Good to see you register here. As always, nice car!

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

the local college is having dyno days throughout the summer, $40 for 2 pulls, im gonna wait until i get th 390s and SAFC in before i go out there tho.

the hose covers i do believe came from autozone or advanced? i bought them from some kid who didnt use them.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Holy clean engine bay batman!!!

Ever considered a turbo motor swap? One of the guys here has done a few!

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

Great looking 1G! It would be nice to live in a climate that doesn't destroy cars. Now, swap a turbo engine in there :D

Just kidding.

Nice car, it's the best example of a clean 1g I've seen thus far!

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

great lookin 1g! very clean

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

that is very clean looking. you should do a turbo motor swap. I have done 2 of them for myself and sold one of the cars.

Re: New guy from way down South!
 

turbo awd swap would be sweet, not too say that staying N/A isn't...
