[yota8791]

well its been awhile again but have made some progress, big thing got my taxes done today so wont be much longer. we've got rid of most of the wiring bugs, and got some stuff cleaned up and ran some new wires, heres a few random garage shots.

 

[yota8791]

well now that the parts are starting to roll in, im gonna pull the motor..... AGAIN, this weekend to start shaving the bay and preping it for paint. Got the turbo re-build so gotta get it off and start on it. get the trans off so we can put the clutch on when it gets here. gotta run new brake lines to the front where they got cut when the flywheel let go. hopefully get the new ic in and the new oil cooler. ill take some pics and upload em as we go, stay tuned

 

[yota8791]

so yea sorry for the late reply, spool on the street was really quick to my surprise, to be a journal bearing turbo, its been so long since i drove it, i was only on wg psi,14psi and it was hitting that before 3k??? i think dont hold me to it.

Updates?

 

[yota8791]

ugh, well paid the coilovers off, and just still working on the body, found a good amount of rust under the bumper cover behind the right rear wheel. not to mention ive been out of work on workers comp so funds have been low. paint is at a stand still because of waiting to hear back from the guy to put the roll cage in.

 

[Quin]

That's no good =( I was hoping you were in the 10s or at least deep deep 11s and just forgot to update the thread.

 

[yota8791]

yea its been a very slow goin process unfortunately, did get some good news on a new job this past friday and we just got my gf's supercharged tib back on the road this weekend, thing is nasty, but hopefuly now i can focus on mine and get it back on the road befor winter hits again

 

[yota8791]

need sugestions for paint, cant decide between pearl white, jet black or flame red pearl metallic. gimmie your opinions

 

[eraezer]

do you have some paint samples to share?

 

[planemos]

I think it kinda depends on your total outlook/plan on the painjob. I mean it depends on what exterior mods you have. I like all of the colours you are choosing from though

 

[Quin]

Pearl white looks sick on these cars. Gets my vote out of those. I'm debating between RSP, IJM and jet black myself. Probably going black just so I don't have to repaint everything. Having black door jambs and a black engine bay would drive me nuts lol

 

[planemos]

Ya I would probably keep red because that's what colour mine originally was and then I wouldn't have to pull the engine
