Should get it back mid this week! DrCPU MAY 09, 10:49 PM Picked up the Taz today. Only drove four miles home - but had a lot of cars trying to keep up with me to see what kind of car it is! The paint looks great now. I still have to fix the hood scoop this winter - and get it repainted - but for now I'm quite pleased with everything. Getting it into a tuner next week to modify the computer - She's running rich and I want it set up just right for the summer. Local company by the name of Autoworks will do the (Wideband Dyno) and tuning (reprogramming).... IThe weather is looking good this weekned so will start to look for good photo opp locations to get some nice pics of the car. Keep posted. DrCPU JUN 12, 09:04 AM Just a bump to say my car is being tunned at a local shop..... Should have new numbers and a better air/fuel mix than I had before - let's hope anyway!

I've been promised my car for Friady afternoon - here's to keeping all my body parts that can be crossed - are crossed! Dave DrCPU JUL 08, 02:05 PM Updates are just a couple or rough shots of the Xtreme-Doors. I'm going over everything with a fine tooth comb - and have a couple of minor adjustments to make and input to give Chris. I will post my full write up once I've gone through everything. I'll also post much better pictures and links to video. First let me describe the process of dealing with Chris at Xtreme-Doors. I emailed Chris for a date and time to have them do the install. Based on that, I delivered my car to Chris last Sunday (July 1,2007). As per his thread instructions I made payment via Paypal on the Friday before. Chris told me I could pay him on the Sunday when I dropped off the car. Chris told me he'd call me on the Wednesday evening with an update. His call came in as promised. We both agreed on a pick-up date of Saturday or Sunday. Chris called me on Friday - again as he promised - and we settled on Sunday (July 8, 2007) for the pick up. Pictures above are just before loading the car on the trailer. It's in major need of a wash.... So - dealing with Chris was not a problem at all. They are really just getting started and the door hinge design is about 99.5% perfect. Any issues are most liklely due to them doing so much to get a business set up and them being so young (nothing wrong with that). On the hinge install - They need to get some alluminium spacers made to replace a number of washers and my front trim (bump guard) at the front edge of the door needs to be sanded back at least a 1/4" (the V part that points to the back). Otherwise when you open the door it rubs and pushed the bump trim peice forwards (on front fender panel). As a final touch the door wiring could use some harness cable to clean it up. These three items are refinements that everyone should be aware they need to make. Chris should be able to get the spacers made up soon. My first impressions - doors open smoothly and the shock is well balanced for the set-up. It's almost a neutral set-up - meaning the door will not fly up or drop down if you let it go either way. The window seals (on my chop) are exactly as they were before the hinge install. Panel fit is pretty darned good - but I think there is a little larger gap at the front - it may also be due to the shinny bits of the hinge you can see through the gap that might make this seem wider. If you stand back - the overall gaps are pretty even at the front and back of the door. I'll post much more when I get some time mid to end of week. (thumbs up guys) madcurl JUL 08, 02:20 PM This sounds good Dave. Please post them pics, to the VDC gallories, hehe.
