This is my 89 PGT. I have done all of the work on my car myself. For the first 2 years, I was working in my driveway, or whoever's driveway I was staying at that night. I started the car 7 years ago and didn't want to be like everyone else. I have BUILT my own body-kit, done my interior, built my motor-(besides the machining of the block), painted the car myself, and it is my daily driver in the summer!!!! I'm the only one who has worked on it.

 

 

   Thanks to all that have nominated me for show off!!!!!!

I was in the top 25 this week, so please help me out... Thanks again!!!

<<<<----------------------------

 

Hit me up with some stars!!! Where else have you seen a first gen probe like this that is 100% built by the owner??

       I like the style of the new GTR so I copied the grill in carbon fiber.

 I also Had APR make me a custom Carbon Fiber splitter and a set of Canards for the front.
I also added Carbon Creations carbon fiber side splitters, and then an Origin Labs 66" carbon gt wing.

I finished off the carbon fiber with an HKS carbon muffler, carbon rear underbody diffuser, carbon on the middle section of the rear bumper, carbon battery cover and air diffuser on top of the radiator, also carbon door panels, carbon under my amps and the front of my subwoofer box, and a carbon switch plate.

Jump to interior build.

The interior was needing some work, so (2008) I installed a set of Bride Gias low max seats, MOMO carbon shift knob, and MOMO aluminum grid floor mats. The black matches good with all the carbon fiber. I made another gauge pod on the top of the other cluster for nitrous and fuel pressure.

September 2008 I added 2 more 15" lcd's in the rear and a single 5" lcd in each door..... Check out page 3!!

FOR 2009, I RE-WRAPED THE INTERIOR IN SUEDE, MADE CARBONFIBER DOOR PANELS, AND CLEANED IT UP A BIT!!!!

Click the link to see the whole interior build.

Jump to motor build.


My motor was getting weak, so I built up a new power plant!!! Check out page 4 for all the new details..... stainless manifold, garrett turbo, bored and forged!!!!!

The motor with my fabbed up turbo kit.... Click the link.

For 2009, I color matched all the brakets, made my external wastegate w/screemer pipe, and made a carbon fiber filler peice for in front of my radiator.

 Also for the chassis, I have made an upper front strut bar, and added graound control coilovers with new struts!!!....

Coolest 1st-gen Probe I've ever seen. Awesome work on the motor build, and the bodywork and paint are out of this world! Check out my turbo Duster.
