    A word about the silicone paint, the only pieces I painted with that was the bracket for the CT to the head and the two shields where the exhaust goes (one protects the brake lines, the other the speedo line). The brand I got was DEI I believe and it's supposed to be heated to 400 degrees to...

    TX2k12 - 6265 MK3 vs 7175 MK4

    I was the cameraman. MK3 has a 1.5JZ and dynoed about 660 earlier that day (I can't find the pic of the numbers board) , MK4 makes 950hp at full power. His clutch went bad though a week ago, so they stuck in a stock clutch with TRD plate. Turned his setting to lowest which is about 650. No BS...

    For what part? for lower brackets and parts exposed to stuff from below, I used Eastwood chassis paint. Remove rust with chem dip, clean well, then eastwood chassis primer, then top coat. For parts exposed to high heat, like the shields by the exhaust, I used high temp silicone paint. Same prep...

    As you can see.... super glossy. At first I was like... I don't remember my parts looking this shiny after paint, then I realized it was Super gloss Engine Enamel -_-. FML Oh well, I hope it doesn't look tacky once everything is bolted together.

    Getting all this disconnected the first time was fun... Realized I couldn't actually move my subframe anywhere because I didn't want to disconnect the brake lines. Later on down the road when I get my Wilwood BBK, I will rebuild the knuckles/hubs and make them...
