yay!

Also, hate to ask this question, but it's bugging me. My turbo is ticking. Whenever I hit boost, it has a ticking noise...bad news bears?

you need to get a boost gauge on there and make sure it's boosting properly before anything else. I'd stay away from wide open throttle until you do as well.

Overall looks like a pretty straight car. Wish mine had the sunroof.

If you're ever in the Lincoln area, don't be suprised if someone tries to race you.;)

I was there twice today, to omaha and from omaha. Had someone try both times. Smoked a two door neon, and played with a mid eighties vette. All I saw was his tail lights. I'm getting a boost gauge here soon, and staying out of boost until then.

Picking on poor TI's Adam?;) I can think of another garnett charger that will give you a run for your money:D

BTW nice car. Looks pretty clean. I also have a question for you. It looks like your airdam extensions are fine, maybe you need the whole front airdam?

No, I was more referring to guys here in town that might mistake him for being me, now that a few of them know mine is running.

I'm not sure if I need the air dam extensions, or the whole airdam.
Maybe these pics will help.

Thanks for all the comments on my car, I love her to death.
Got 36.8 MPG on the interstate to and from Omaha today...makes me happy.
Also made a Escort GT cry, even better.

I wonder if that airdam couldn't even be repaired, just that corner missing looks like the only real damage.

Had to get it aligned and get that crack in the bellhousing welded. Now hopefully this weekend I can get back under it and repaint that portion of the tranny. Maybe even get started on cleaning the interior out; the guys at the shop kinda gave me a hard time for the whole car smelling like a wood burning stove . . . :lol:

Could someone explain the differences between a TI TII and a TIII car. I know TI turbo-nonintercooled, TII, turbo-intercooled, but a TIII?

Thanks!

TIII has a 16v head (as opposed to the 8v in both TI and TII).

looks like you need a pass side air dam extension. drivers looks fine. Front airdam looks like it needs to be repaired. I dont have a spare in good shape, but I could fix yours.

Awesome. What are we looking at for costs? That would make my car look a lot better.

Lots of these cars were sold at Ken Morehead's and stayed in the area. Adam's Charger, this one, my GLHS, maybe even one or two of Kaleb's cars. Looks about the same as I remember it from a couple years ago. Nice to hear it's running well for ya.
