Hahn III, Red Calipers and Cover, and Lambo Doors installed

[skybright]

Finally picked up my baby! She has had her calipers painted red as well as the engine cover. The Hahn III turbo has been installed but not fully tuned because it has been raining for over a week so I have to bring it in once it dries up so the mechanic can drive and tune it properly. When I drove her home I went to pass another car and she really opened up. All I can say is WOW. I can't wait to have her fully tuned so I can take her for a nice cruise. Here's hoping the weather gets better soon!
Thought I'd show her off!

Very nice! I really like the white look. I have not seen many of them around. Good luck with the final tune.

you will be one of the star's at the cruise!

It looks mean! "Salute"

OK I'm not mechanically inclined and that is why a professional did my turbo! So sorry if I ask a stupid question, what is a "dyno"? And what does the mechanic have to do to get these numbers?

thanks

Not a stupid question. A Dyno is a computerized machine that will tell you about the performance of your car. It will tell you how much horse power and torque are being generated by your engine throughout the range of rpms your engine can turn. The vehicle merely needs to be put on a Dyno machine (although there are different makes) and the operator runs the tests. The results are printed out.

Yes, please let us know what your dyno numbers are. We dynoed 2 Hahn stage 4 kits and they both did 278whp and 280whp. We were hoping to get numbers that were closer to what they advertised at around 380whp, so it would be interesting to see what you are putting out.

Thanks for the info, I will ask to see if they have a dyno tester. I'm brining her in this afternoon to get it tuned properly as we have some sunny weather.

A very nice car. Please keep me posted as to your progress, and let me know if I can help in any way

[SkyBaby]

SHE LOOKS AWESOME.... they will be some great pics for the calendar that you sent me.. WOW... THANKS... SkyBaby

The doors are very sturdy but hubby had to add some brackets to stabalize the vender part. The instructions were for the Solstice and I think the body is different.
The door swings out about one foot so I can get in and out without raising the door at home but when I go out I raise it because it's just so cool and easy to do. Hubby is looking at putting in an automatic opener that with a click of a button it will do it. But really it isn't much trouble.

We went through Gravana and the kit was on sale for $1299 plus tax and shipping I think it was about $1600.

It was totally my idea! I did a lot of research before making the jump. I found the car is awesome but just didn't have the get go when I needed it, especially on hills. So adding the turbo will give it the spunk that it looks it has.
