Team Adam's Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I was going thru my fireproof safe looking for some documents and came across the folder I have all my TBSS related docs. I was looking at the pink slip (thinking about how much I enjoy not having a payment ) and some other stuff and noticed I had my original sales contract from the dealer dated March 11th of 2006!! Now this maynot seem like a big deal to many, but I rarely keep vehicles longer than 2 years... I get the new car bug very easily and haven't found a cure other than to go buy a new car Anyhoo... thought I'd post a 'then and now' for my VERY OLD (not 'Bill-old, but old) TBSS... I had been thinking about unloading it in favor of something new, namely a loaded GMC Sierra Denali... but now I think shes gonna get parked and become my project, blower anyone? Here she is the morning after I brought it home, in all its stock glory, lookin like its ready to offroad its so high off the ground A little photoshop of what I was thinking of doing at the time: Painted some of the underhood platics Added the sub into a built in box usiing the subfloor cargo space... since pulled out to make room for a stroller Blacked out the badges: Obliterated a few sets of tires Swapped the tails for blacked out IPCW LED's & converted over to 8k HID's Upgraded the breaks Dropped it 1" and shortly thereafter decided it wasn't low enough Added another 2" of drop... still thinking I wanna go lower And here we are today Also didn't mention the custom CAI, catback, and dyno tuning work... glad I haven't added up the receipts yet Its been a long journey when I look back at it thru pictures... can't believe its been over 3 years already!! More good stuff to come... UPS should be here today with what begins a new round of mods Edited June 29, 2009 by Dylan06SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I just like his car. Now that's funny !!!!!! But I don't even like your car :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Dylan you know thats funny you mentioned almost having your car three years because I just realized that come September my mustang will be three years old. I am having the same dilemma especially with some of the new vehicles coming out. Your SS is sick and I'm not even a big fan of SS's at all. How much does a supercharger run for one of those? I also want to say that I think the stock wheels in black look better than those other wheels would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for the compliments and congrats on 3 years with your Pony!! The supercharger ain't gonna be cheap, primarily b/c I have to put in a trans that'll stand up to it first. I've gone thru a few tranny's already with just the basic bolt ons... adding a blower isn't gonna sit well with my weak 4L70e and rear end. I have a call into my transmission guys.... probably gonna be around $3500 for the new trans, trans cooler, bigger stall, and all the other goodies.... then the blower itself retails around $6500... gonna work a deal with a contact for some detail work to drive that price down on top of my "good guy" discount.

Devin04 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 blower anyone? That was the best upgrade I made. Also the most expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcss383 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nice progression Dylan! My progression pictures have it going from a black 06 to a silver 09. lol If the 'new-car' bug bites again, GO BUY A 2009 MODEL BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE! It worked for me. lol Are those coil-overs from the last Norcal GB? I am anxiously awaiting for mine still! EDIT: I just noticed I bought my Black 06 new TODAY 3 years ago! Huh, what are the odds?!

Team Adam's Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yep those are Kbees from the GB... actually not my exact set, just a pic... I've paid and I'm just waiting for tony to ship em out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
