Heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea!

lol yeah... i cant seem to photograph it well its a neon pink... very florescent...
more attempts to capture the true color... look more at the turbo.. thats more the color it really is... http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/DSC00189.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/DSC00201.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/DSC00203.jpg |
U forgot to powder coat the custom ast delete nut cork ;)
|
hahaha fuck you!!!
|
crazy colour scheme :) cool.
You thinking about getting an idler pulley though, i highly recommend it. The larger pulley does work ok and prevent slippage for some time but the grooves in it over time wear out. Adding an idler pulley also allows you to purchase a standard belt off the shelf too :) |
thanks! yeah i know its on my list of mods to do!!!
|
gee whiz! awesome
|
^^^ ahha funny when i saw your car i wanted to take apart my block just to paint it something cool like yours haha LOVE the purple.. is it a paint?
|
no big update... my friend came today and finally got my old ass vintage oven wired up! so the car should be done getting powdercoated by the end of this week!
heres a pic of my ghetto booth lol... only parts powder coated today were, one IC pipe, and Greddy elbow http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...00615-1605.jpg |
I like the gold touch. No comment on the pink.
|
Looks awesome bro. From what I remembered you were considering the LSX Swap. What happened? The pink is pretty kick ass.
|
Is there a story behind the pink?
|
"Cute" is the only word that comes to mind.
|
U have to be careful not to go overboard with a color like that... Sometimes being more subtle with a color makes it stand out even more. Pink is a great color against black.

Do hose clamps take to powder coating very well? That would be a nice touch

Maybe switch to all T-bolt clamps as well, they look better regardless, and also probably easier to power coat, and more durable afterwards (with the normal hose clamps the screw mechanism would probably scrape off a good deal of the coating on the first installation. |
hmm pink clamps would be over kill imo.... well see when im done... ill do some photoshopin...
ps ive already have t-bolt clamps since ive been single ;) |
aPINK MEANS DANGER!!!!
