starting to do the rats nest removal... anyone want to chime in? cleaned the 6pi...very effective!!!

 

Take water pump pulley off,dip stick has black and red paint on shaft
Looks like you didnt take your time

 

you would be correct... i was trying to cover up the uglyness...

now we just need a s4 specific emmissions removal write up with pics... id do it, but iono what im doing!!

 

looks rattlecan-tabulous

Well....you DID a job.........whether its good or not is another story.
Not trying to rag on your work but you asked....

 

Only painting the top is ricetacular!

 

^ what he said and i would paint the middle iron black.... thats what im doing to mine right now and it looks really good. ill go take a pic...

 

well... its not ONLY the top... look at the other pictures... damn!!

since its so ricetacular... what the hell is the difference between painting the top, and painting the WHOLE THING?!?!?!?! Neither serve any purpose!!

one more thing... i didnt ask whether or not is was ******* rice...

 

for some reason it looks orangy in the pic but its really a dark red like yours... stupid camera!

 

thats pretty hot man!! what did you paint the "mazda" part with? or did you just mask it off? and yes... i assume it is the exact same color... some platikote caliper paint... rated to 900F

 

atleast he tries, that what matters i guess, i rushed to get my motor in and didnt get to paint it, been pissed about it ever since

 

he probably painted it then sanded off the paint on the mazda logo that would be the easiest way i believe.

 

yep... i think it turned out good. it really stands out being the only thing chrome. you should really do it.

 

ok..the question was "did i do a GOOD job".... the answer is no! ......... by not painting the entire motor, and leaving the side unpainted, is considered half-***..... BUT, you did make an effort, which is more than i can say for alot of people...... so i give you props...and the work doesnt look bad, just unfinished! so dont take it as an insult! just helpful critcism.....

 

yeah, you really cant half-*** anyting on an rx7. Trust me, if you take your time and do it right, you'll be much more pleased with the results. You won't even have to ask if you did a good job, you'll already know.

 

thanks!! now to the second part... anyone wnt to do a s4 specific emmissions removal write up??

 

have you tried searching for an S4 emissions removal... lots of info already on this forum about emissions removal....

EDIT: Just so I didn't seem like an ***... I searched for you.

dipstick looks a bit tacky, but the idea is cool. i wouldnt call it done, i'd keep going to make it better.

 

thats a good way to do it, i did that to my calipers after painting them red

another way i was told was to sand the area you want to bring out before paint then put a very fine layer of oil/grease on the section. After you paint the oiled sections just wipes clean.

 

I think I was having s seizure from that hideous paintjob. Do it right this time. At least clean the dirt and grease off the damn thing before you paint it.
