Just picked up the newest issue of PTC and they cleaned up a beater of a '94 Q pretty nice. They had a how-to guide for Airbagit.com's suspension kit, stainless steel brake lines, and a couple other things. Pretty cool stuff if anyone wants to check it out.

Sounds like quite a few cars on here are better.

SS brake lines are high tech, if they are covered.

That's pretty cool they chose a Q45. Wish they would have done more performance stuff to it tho but I guess what they did is more mainstream mods.

That's a pretty decent magazine, I like the concept.

Stretched tires on 20" rims reinforces the concept:

VIP = Very Impaired Performance

What a waste. Probably didn't even change the oil and filter.

These guys couldn't even tunafish.

Probably at least 2 dozen G50 on this board I would prefer to drive.

I see you still refuse to see VIP as a style trend rather than anything to do with performance. I'm not saying I support stretched tires but basing your opinions about someone and their work on their style choices is unfair.

Certainly its not my style, but I think its pretty cool they chose a G50... I figure its better to waste VIP stuff on Y33's anyway... (JUST KIDDING)

The fact they DIDNT chose a lexus or acura makes it pretty cool IMO. The 5zigen muffler is interesting...

I have thought about bags. It is a great idea, and now we know which kit can fit the car.

I like the ground effects package, but it is for a 90-93 car. I wish there was a cheap one for the 94-96 cars.

The wheels would look much better, if they did a Z32 brake upgrade like Lola.

I also think my mesh grille would make the car look better.

Hmmm. I want to do a President Conversion and then VIP/Executive mod it. No Camber. I might not even bag it.

I am underwelmed by their efforts....big ugly wheels,too narrow tires,ugly bodykit,air hoses/wiring passing through sheet metal without using grommets to prevent future disasters,ancient upper-links,cheesey single exit aftermarket muffler....the list goes on and on.....

When I first joined the board, I was wowed by some pics of the WALD kits for the G50. Very nice. They matched the Q's natural lines, rather than looking big and bulky and reminiscent of a cow catcher.

Junction Produce makes a very nice kit for the G50 as well. They get pricey though. $5k+ for a good one.

Nice of you to scan it for us.

I don't much care for the airbagit suspension thing, the wheels are not my taste and the body kit is bulky and ugly. The impul and wald kits are a lot more appealing.
