paint the whole muffler with POR15 exhaust paint, they have flat black, and it will not burn off.

do they really? i used por15 as my basecoat for the engine bay and was tempted to paint other things with it but i didnt think it would withstand the heat... good to know they have exhaust paint:icon_tup:

I like the gold for the motor cradle and such that's a nice touch.

otterball21 Mar 8, 2009 11:28 PM

Nice to meet you today benny,
It's Jack

I have the Apexi Noir Exhaust on my car.. you should have looked at it.

I have to say the car is coming together nicely. It's definitely getting there.

I definitely can't wait till it fires up! you should just get a nice SMIC to finish the touch for staying Modified factory :)

Blackadde/// Mar 8, 2009 11:41 PM

What did you spray your subframe with?

I've been thinking of doing this, but would like some sort of protective material to be used. Rhino lining? Any other options?

~M~

engine subframes were sandblasted/wire brushed then coated with por15 for protectant. then used rustoleum paint over it for appearance

not sure what rhino lining is... is that like truck bed lining?:scratch:

otterball21 Mar 9, 2009 09:02 PM

yeah Rhinoliner is alot more rough though.. POR 15 is less abrasive..

GoodfellaFD3S Feb 25, 2010 09:23 AM

Your build is coming along, will be interested in seeing the car at DGRR :)

A few random things:

The rubber strip on the 99 lip can be taken off, it's just there to save you from the first few scrapes.

You're going to like those Hella horns, they are LOUD :D

Did you get used R888s? I'd be very careful with those suckers on the street in anything that's not warm dry weather.

TwinCharged RX7 Feb 25, 2010 09:27 AM

Yeah, I've got 275 R888's in the rear, very slippery when wet. In the cold they seem to warm up very quickly though.
