Geesh.. All that work for sequential twins.. Sure don't miss that..

 

Intake caps were just some brass crush washers. You can find them at most hardware stores.

Yea, the sequential system has been a bitch to me. I was close to ditching it many times. But once I have gotten it working properly finally, it was definetly worth it.

 

i agree its a really great cheap *** mod, if done right!

i remember seein some of your other pics, not gonna fix that bumper?? yikes hahaha

 

Solenoid ELIMINATION, woulda been better =P

 

Haha. I will when I can get around to it. Im a sucker for power ya know. Its hard to be an 19yo livin on a construction workers salary....

 

 

I prefer my rims to have the shiny aluminium look but this pait tone has really catched my eye. It look very good especialy in the enging compartment.

Curious too on how it will stay in time.

 

Looks REALLY good with the OEM FD wheels. Only thing is I would'nt trust something I put on myself in a can.

 

Damn, didnt think this thread would ever be resurrected. Makes me miss my car.

 

awwwwwww, haha sorry.

I'm getting tired of black tho it came with the car, and does have some area's that show the stock color , i will be getting them powdercoated gunmetal soon.

i really like that metalic color you had maybe ill try that.

 

I have some poorly chromed stock wheels I want to do this to.

Anyone know how to remove flaking chrome plating ?

TIA,
:-) neil

 

beadblast? Dont know if that would be too aggressive though...

 

Matching couplers would help out alot I swapped my blue ones for hosetechniques black ones makes a nice difference.

 

Did you spray a clearcoat on them?

Since its been a couple of months, i wonder how the paint held up if you didnt CC the wheels.

I may pick up a couple of those bottles at home depot in a week, but im going with black black.

 

I didnt clear coat them. I just put like 6-8 coats of paint. They held up very very well for the year or so I had them on the car before it got wrecked. I really liked the metallic because it almost looks like powder coating. Its not dull like flat black, and not glossy and shiny like regular gloss. Its a nice medium.

 

Damn that looks good. I did my car with the dupli color. Mirage the paint that changes color. Damn it came out good.
