Dude what's wrong with the Burgermesiter? Actually I put him up during Christmas, I guess it's time to put him away...

I will change it as to alleviate your guilt..


The color is Suzuka Blue (Honda S2000) A little rice with the kraut.

The rims are 17" Revolutions.

The seal around the windshield is #24 ( I believe) gasget, I wanted to go smaller, but the next size down the window installation guy had was to small. Did I mention I had to replace the windshield? But it is much clearer then the 30 year old one I had on. It was a bitch driving in the sun.

The chroms has been powder coated, I liked the way it looks aginst the blue..

looks really good....what about the letter spacing on the engine lid???

Posted by: TINCAN914 Apr 30 2007, 09:01 AM

It's just sitting there, I was trying to decide if I was going to mount them or just a badge.. They need to be spaced correctly..

Posted by: mrdezyne Apr 30 2007, 09:02 AM

WOW! I never knew a light blue could look so sporty! I might have to re-think going back with the stock blue on mine now...

Posted by: bigkensteele Apr 30 2007, 09:35 AM

Looks Awesome.

I believe that your right rear tire is on the rim backwards.

Posted by: tat2dphreak Apr 30 2007, 09:48 AM

WOW! looks great! awesome color!

Posted by: McMark Apr 30 2007, 01:24 PM

Posted by: TINCAN914 Apr 30 2007, 02:59 PM

Yes I got the headlights straightened away..

Posted by: thomasotten Apr 30 2007, 07:56 PM

Looks cool. My kind of color, we must think alike...

I took a picture of your car and showed it to my car and, found out that Aarons car is gay. (Which is perfectley fine)

Nice stuff....

2 weeks for me at least until mine is done.

My DuPont neighbor is freaking so anal.

I just want to get it done but, he is telling me that it has to be show winning...

My attitude is, just get the freaking doors to match the rest of the car....




Iffin yer looking to buy a /6 conversion from the pacific northwest, let me know....

Thanks Allan.
You know I have heard that about hat About Aaron and his car.

Thomas we have very similar taste, you do nice work.

Posted by: Grimstead Apr 30 2007, 11:12 PM

You guys misunderstood me...

When I said Aaron's car was a little lite in the springs (nudge, nudge, wink wink), I meant that the engine was still out






Not that there is anything wrong with that....

Beautiful paint job! What size and brand of tires are you running? Are the Revos mounted without a spacer and did you have to modify the wheel wells? Just wondering, I have a set of Revos waiting for me in Cali and I want to mount tires on them for the drive back to Seattle after the All German Show in Ventura...daveyboy

Posted by: TINCAN914 May 1 2007, 09:24 PM

Revo's 17x7's with 205/40's 1/2" offset. No modifications.
IMO they are the nicest 4 lugs...

Posted by: swood May 1 2007, 09:31 PM

Since we're talkin about those wheels, how do they feel on the road with those tires?

Didn't someone tell me that they aren't making those wheels anymore?

I want them.

Posted by: Aaron Cox May 1 2007, 09:33 PM

they is way heavy......

Posted by: TINCAN914 May 1 2007, 09:34 PM

A bit BUMPY. But I wouldn't trade em for anything though.. There not all that bad. I looked for em new, but couldn't find them. Got em used from Mueller.

Posted by: swood May 1 2007, 09:38 PM

yeah...so I'll never take a passenger ;p

Posted by: TINCAN914 May 1 2007, 09:45 PM

That's an understatement..
But I wouldn't trade them anyway..
