I77 & I40 Crossroads rotary meet
oh, before i forget, i was given an s5 alternator, so i went ahead and bought the e-fan, might do tim's tranny killswitch or temporary switch, but i won't need the clutch fan anymore.
Been busy since yesterday, started polishing my wheels, got passenger's side done, not the greatest job ever, but compared to how they were, i think i did alright, i'll try to get pictures tomorrow, still got 2 to go

i meant to get some pics today, but kinda got lazy and forgot, by the time i wanted to it was already dark lol. I'll see if my uncle has anything like that, he's got all kinds of weird tools from his car jacking days :P j/k.
have you tried going to a tire shop, they might have something to take it off with?
also i'm bored so i started looking at some ideas lol. someone recommended welding a regular nut to the bolt, then using a socket to drive it out....

Got my main ports done on the center iron
Huge difference! Should breath a little better. Doing the secondary main ports tomorrow, and maybe attempt the bridge on the outer irons as well. Still haven't decided whether to bridge the center or not... Cue Jepordy music!!
Forgot the camera at the booth.I'll get good pics of it tomorrow when the paint is cured better. Fingers crossed still. Another long day of work tomorrow.

Oh, didn't you say Anthony's car was going to have Viper Red racing stripes?
Just kidding Ant
Well I decided to go HB
As i drive my FD daily a ton. Plus it already flows better to start with. I want to retain "some" low-end. I have ported the runners very lightly. I just took the big ledge at the mouth of the runners off. I will just smooth the rest of it out. The secondaries I will do the same but a little more in depth
It took me about 30-45 minutes for each main port on the center iron. I had my tool jump to full speed once and do a little dance but it seems to be OK
I need my regulator so it can only spins soo fast. No more dancing.
And I decided on Pepto Pink stripes for the car.
It should make the pearl POP!!!

I saw that, I had some plans I drew up in AutoCAD but it used a 36DCD and a 48IDA. The DCD was for the primaries and the IDA was for the PP. Looked like the ones in the link, but lined up left and right, not front and back, if that makes sense.
I get bored.
I get bored.
didn't really feel like doing anything today so no progress on the wheels, but here is what i have done so far (sorry for the thumb :P)
this is what my drivers side looks like right now, basically a "before" shot.

and this is the "after" shot. This is the worst looking of the two.

I could have definitely spent more time with them both, maybe a bit more sanding but i'm kinda pleased, i think it's a good step up from what it used to look like.

Here are the pics I have from paint time
I did not move the car out to get better shots do to alot of construction going on and tooo many chances of damage
Better shots tomorrow. I will need to respray the wing and mirrors as they ran. My buddy actually did those and he is self admitidly a heavy handed painter
No biggie.






It's pretty cool to finally not have that fugin area crack on me!!

Well hopefully it will be cut and buffed by then. However I am not going to steal his moment and show up in it before he does. It will be laying in shiny wait for his return from SB. It will be nice to have my shop back again
I feel...attached to this car now..
It was Stu's wet-sanding that made it better this time around
