Hi all, I was doing some work on the car today and figured I would contribute to this wonderful forum. I have a late 99 tredsvt and exterior wise its in pretty bad shape. I put pictures of it up when I first bought it about a year or so ago on CEG. The engine had low miles and the interior was in great shape but onto mypost, replacing the valve cover gaskets, manifold gaskets and cleaning out the LIM and UIM today. I also decided to paint the UIM so ontosome pics. Please dont make fun of my tour its a work in progress!!!! I have all the messed up and ugly body parts hanging in the garage brand new, just figured you guys would like to see a tour with the asa ar1's since ive never seenone before.

Painted your valve cover the same as rawbutt's eh?

Not bad, I like the color, the body just looks like it could use a reallly good detailing with a Porter Cable or an orbital buffer.

Otherwise the car looks great :) dont forget to clean out your UIM and LIM with some chemtool, that is if its all gunked up.

EDIT: Oh and I LOVE those rims, I really like all of the new style wheel that ASA are making, excellent choice :)

No I just took the opportunity to wash it when I got it off to put the gasket on! You can see how dusty the one in the back is!

Thank you guys for the comments! I will take pics of the rear of the car which isnt so jacked up to show off the rims. Hopefully the car will be done today.
 
Hey thanks Klasse, I love BBS wheels but they would cost like 60 percent of what I paid for the car with tires, Asa's look exactly the same and don't weigh too much, I love them, just need a drop.
 
How much do you want for those rims?

180 with tires for the rims, two tires are gone the othere have plenty of tread left
 
No, he's talking about the MAF that is still attached to the stock SVT air filter, in the engine bay to the right.
 
air intake is all stock except for a drop in k and n, It kinda does look like a maf in that pic though
