it's monday and driving an active Q is fine.....

[3Q Jay]

can't resist 'sharing' the silver 94 is as close to perfection since i've had her. with the recent front rubber work and no more creaking

of course, i've invested $8000 on parts alone in 29 months of ownership.still--can't imagine a finer car for under $13000 investment (plus a lot of sweat).

[cccpman]

It's looking good there man

[Jesda]

Looks like it rolled off the showroom floor last week!

[Haitian_King]

Very nice. Quite sexy.

[Q45man1]

Jay,

Looks sharp. Can't wait till I see it in person. My 94Q base is also under 'rehab'

[maxnix]

So how is the black one coming? Silver looks great.

[szh]

Very, very nice!

Looks better than the 1995 Q45 I had ... with G35 wheels. Pictures are on the forum somewhere.

[Q451990]

Amazing with those wheels!

Heath

[elwesso]

Yep, i hate you!

congrats on having like one of the nicest Q's in the nation. Seriously.

[knowspinzone]

You know what I hate about you guys in CA, FL, TX and other snowless locales? No damn road sand and salt to destroy the underneath and the wheels. I try to keep my undercarriage hosed down, but that salt is insidious. Plus you also track the sand and salt into the car. Even all weather mats don't catch it all.

Beautiful looking car. Enjoy!

I've rode in and driven Jay's active and it is a fine automobile. You've done a great job bringing it up to perfection. I can't think of a nicer set of wheels to compliment the silver paint than the ones you have. Bravo.

[3Q Jay]

thanks guys!it's always something of a work in progress as you all can appreciate. there are flaws and they bug me......

my goal has been to bring her to OEM standards, with a few non-obtrusive and non-permanent enhancements.

the black one has had fluid changes (some in in autozone parking lot just outside of ABQ after an hour of ownership)--but is 'waiting' so to speak.

few more of the interior....

[cccpman]

wow keep taking care of the leather like you are man, that looks great!

What is that shiny thing next to the clock? I don't see it in the first pic but do in the second... just a reflection or something?

I cant find anything negative about it - yours is definitely one of the best ones around, if only we were all so lucky

[Haitian_King]

Where'd you get the wood kit? Looks awesome.Your leather looks so soft And I love the two tone steering wheel.

thats stock on 94s.

[Haitian_King]

Nice. Lucky.

So how would I go about getting a wood kit in my 92? I have a black dash with gray leather seats and carpet.

[96Qowner]

The best would be Jason Burtman:

But you can find cheaper stick-on stuff on ebay, too.

Gorgeous car, Jay!

Even better, it's an active! I covet it - mph. I truly crave a 95 Q45a in either silver or mulberry. Unfortunately, I put the $8000 into my 96 already.

I've got the 3 piece burl set gleaned from one of my part outs. Email me if you're interested.

[Jeff Williams]

That car looks beautiful!

I miss Layla, my silver '94 Q45. I sold her almost 3 years ago and people still talk about that car all the time. Friends of the guy I sold her to always mention it when they see me.

[AlabamaDan]

Nice Car. Beautiful Leather.

But Jason's product is the best for the appliqué type.

Not sure later wood will fit on earlier consoles, but may. Think the door handles and control area are different too.

[q45vh]

thats some sweet Q, how much were the rims and tires??

[3Q Jay]

thanks. rims are ebay $450 delivered. tires were about $900 mounted with road force balance.

[q45vh]

400 total?? for the rims?? are those the Q rims? year 2000+ Q 45 rims, wat they wrapped in?

[beancan]

what are you using on that leather?I need to use it on my 99 .. i want it looking good when i pass it on to my future children or something

[3Q Jay]

yeah it was $425 for the rims on my door now that i checked my records. they are the same rims that UTGiant has for sale here: zerothread/273953good deal at $300 +ship imo. they are 18X8 +40.

tires are Dunlop sport maxx 245//45 100Y XL.

[3Q Jay]

ive used a few things, but at present it's the 2-part zaino product. stuff has a heavy leather smell. manly. earthy. you'll prolly love it or hate it.

[lino]

Beautiful! Car looks the way it should. I've spent more money in less time than you and still have a long way to go. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see 3 pics of your car:

1. In Normal mode2. In High mode3. With the Active fuse pulled slammed to the ground
