For now heres a pic of what the exterior looks like

Just wanted to give you a shout-out on your choice of accent colors. That reddish copper color is looking GOOD. And not very common either. Nice touch!
(Now I wonder what it would look like if the whole car was that color... )

^Thx for the comment, Its the same color code as the orange 04+cars. Ive never seen the same color combo like mine.

I agree. This a great color combo. do you have any more photos?

I bought a tep trans last weekend will be installing it Friday previous owner had it on a turbo regal making about about 550 hp. and going to prj in two weeks for an e85 tune.

Trans is in and running good then I had a fuel pump failure. Got a new racetronix fuel pump and will be installing it this weekend, then its to prj the following weekend. Not sure if anyone knew this but I had a really wierd false kr problem it turns out it was all in the transmission because its gone now.

im pretty sure i cracked the flexplate while pulling the trans out

it may have been cracked already, and that was the kr?

Who did you end up buying the transmission from? On another forum....550whp Regal? Should have bought the whole Regal lol

yeah.. thats possible but I just had the engine out not too long ago and didnt notice any cracks then

Yeah I did greg his name is rob anderson from the regalforum, and yeah i prolly could have lol but he already parted the turbo out, It seems to be a pretty great trans tho tep built very low miles, less than a thousand. storry on the trans is it started out as a tim king trans, then it broke a chain and had other problems so he took it to dave and had a full rebuild done on it. I would have bought the trans with the 1inch gmr that showed up on here for sale but i bought this one the day before that one showed up.

Glad you found a TEP trans, you'll enjoy it.

I know that Regal and it made some pretty good power. Say hello to the whipple car when you head to PRJ's

Im almost sure I broke the flex plate taking out the trans i thought i had all the bolts out and had a pry bar against the flex plate, see the marks on the flex plate, and the new trans is in it runs great useing a 3000stall at the moment it came with the trans so figured id give it a try.

well then apparently you dont drive hard enough lol.

Got the fuel pump fixed, long story short a starter wire came off and grounded to the header causing the fuel pump rewire to have a short, got it fixed now i have a hole in my header where the wire grounded to it, hopefully i can get that welded up before next weekend. I swear its just one thing after another. On a side not i have an extra racetronix fuel pump if anyone wants it.
