I had to redeem myself from that other horrid pic with my camera on the wrong setting. I was able to get a bit of riding in today.

I had some pm's about my bike it's a 07 trek remedy that I call "Project Goldtooth"

I put a ton of work into this bike over the past year, what can I say I <3 to tinker with stuff. Doing some big work with the dub next week, waiting for a bunch of new parts to get hear by the end of the week, and I also heard the 2011+ giac tune is finally done.

Def wasn't me, I don't get up to easton much at all.

I was hanging out at the stealership for a bit tonite & had my buddy give me a quick detail. Figured I'd post some pics because I don't have many without my roof rack on. I've been real busy at work and haven't had time to start working on the car again, but hope to get some werk in before cc and wf. I still have to put on my rear brakes & do round 2 of suspension mods. I also need to get her over to awe for the tsi stage 2 power package etc... I'll make some time to get a bunch of stuff done the week of cc. I still have to do alot of work in the bay & have to fit in time to install the sub/amp too. Never enough hours in the day.

I figure while I'm hardwiring my rd, and doing my sub/amp this week I should start working on the bay too. Big props to john@FTC5 for smoothing out my engine cover. I highly recommend his work to anyone. I like little details like this.

My plans for the bay include a modified intake manifold like I did on my mkv, but sprayed ug. Similar to this one in my old car, but with some minor changes;

Instead of polishing everything I think I will be powdercoating alot of parts like the alt, tb etc... for a stealth look. There will be alot of black anodized bits/cf going in with some ss lines/red an fittings. Hope to have most of it done by h20, which I just rented a house for from thurs-mon Oh, my adams rotors are waiting for me at the post office, so I'm going to grab them tommorow.

Thanks, I would love to get a new remedy, but I have so much $ sunk into my old school remedy. I'm trying to snap the frame so hopefully trek will give me a new remedy frame, but I've been hitting some big drops and she's holding up well. I'm also interested in getting a transition bike, you ever ride green lane park?

Well, it's made by thule for vw it's a oem rack, but you can get the same set-up from thule for any car. I dealt with rack warehouse.

Figured I'd better start working on the motor a bit. Spent a big chunk of my day messing with my catch can, ss line's & an fittings. What a pita, but I got it done.

^^^Haha nice

I don't like how I had some of the ss lines run on my catch can, so I stayed up 1/2 the night & re-ran them. You can't really see any of the work I did because it all takes place behind the intake. I also re-ran my boost line using the bsh boost tap. I started adding some of the bay bling. I have a ton more to do, but I'm not complaining.

The epoxy finally set up enough to put on the new gas cap.

I just started getting the intake mani project started. My intake should be ready by next week, then I'll take her down to awe for some more power (insert tim the tool man laugh here)
