yea bro send em my way i would love to see the idea. on a funnier note my washer fluid pump just took a crap so i dont think it will hurt my feelings to pull it. guess it was good timing.

 

Well then that is a sign that it was meant to be and this will work well. I may try it this weekend.

On another note:.. I want to offer something to all you guys. I am by no means a pro. But , I am learning with the aid of a professional painter. I notice that alot of us have various parts that are primered or faded or chipped etc.. I would like to propose that if anyone wants to have individual pieces(mostly solid colors) like hoods, fenders bumpers etc.. painted. I would like to paint them for you at NO COST for the work. Just buy the materials needed.( Sandpaper,paint, primer, clear etc.. or single stage paint..basically a all in one paint) I need to practice on as much as possible.

I did my stuff in my garage. BUT i will paint the pieces for everyone in a booth that my buddy has.( No way to get a whole car in his, but we have access to a full size booth as well)

IF someone was unhappy with the way it turned out I would do it again at no extra cost in materials to you. And if desired I could have my "mentor" do it if desired.

Just a thought. I can't remember who it was that asked me about their car. But i would do a whole car the same way. NO cost to you except materials. And anyone who has ever tried painting before or has gotten a professional quote knows how much $$ is spent on the prep....pretty much all of it Now doing a whole car would NOT be a fast job. So please no Daily drivers to try

Let me know guys. I used single stage paint on mine and my old gun. which was dirty from the last bike I sprayed while in Hawaii. That is what the little sand grain specs were if anyone noticed I would be using a SATA HVLP professional gun from now on with all the proper regulators filters etc.. The paint would be Quality PPG or you could choose another brand like House of Kolors. But We use PPG mostly and are "used" to the way it sprays.

Thanks Dave ...PM me if intrested or hit me up at the next meet

 

Heck man if ya don't mind doin a whole car i'll take ur business! I couldn't let u do it for free tho pm me and we can talk bout it!

 

Will do Like i said a whole car would take a while ( couple months,probably less,) but I don't want to misrepresent my abilities for fast turn around on a whole car. since my back will only let me work so long during a day I would be very intrested though.

 

I could definately use those services, might be a lil while though. still got some other things to take care of before paint.

 

I have a foot long scratch on my drivers side fender... Still have a can of touch up paint as well!

If you would like to do some touch up work let me know. I would hate for you to not get any moolah!

 

Yeah I'd be up for some touch up. I'll check it out at the next meet or if you wanted to send me pics my email is rotoryhead@aol.com

As i said before I am really looking for the experience, but i wouldn't turn down a few bucks. But seriously, I am not looking to profit monetarily from this.......yet

 

I'll send pics in a second.

 

im the one in the shadows but here are my pics: took a crap load and hardly any turned out! my camera is so sensative to light and i was not about to put it on manual mode (that would take about a 4 minute setup with each car!) but when it WAS sunny, had a lot of hot spots and that just ruined the photos but here are the few that were salvageable:

 

(camera wanted to focus on the water droplets...*grumble*

 

so yeah, those are the few I got, as stated, I apologize, I will get more next time that will hopefully turn out!

(just noticed how small these are on here...again *grumble*)

 

Hey guys sorry i didnt make it, felt like crap after saturday and ended up falling a sleep on the couch after church and not waking up till about 2:30. I guess its a good thing i did not make it being yall hit some rain (no wipers and driver door LEAKS!!!!!)

well maybe next time and i will for sure be getting some cards again soon

 

Hey what up guys found out about the meet up sunday night. Wish I could have made it. Next month I'll Be there. Thanks for the heads up Jeezus. I live here in Charlotte east side by off Albemarle Rd by Lowes. I've been looking around for others for bout 2 months since I got my first FC.

 

Welcome aboard. Hope to see you at the next meet.

Here is a cool event if anyone is intrested. We may be going depending on timing of the NC state Bar exam.

Wow nice pics everyone, that day was a load of fun especialy when redlining through a curve and spinning out......HAHA

Well anyway i'm taking some of the advice i got at the meet,

Anthony whats the list of parts i'll need to do the cold air intake!

And as for a turbo timer does anyone have an extra i can take or buy off their hands?

 

You are about 5 minutes from me

 

Get some generic piping, a few silicone couplers (if that is what you call them?), clamps, Cone filter, and some mounting brackets.

 

what would all that run price wise?

 

I.ve got a red greddy turbo timer. I had it in my car for a long time. works great. Has alot of options i don't know how to use. You can program in a custom countdown tune etc.. 30 bucks 50 installed wherever you want it

As for the CAI, Josh and I are going to do one on his car this week probably. I will have to look at the T2 engine set-up again(been awhile) but I think the same set-up will work.

got my SA running guys so it will be at the next meet... ii would have had it for this 1 but when i bolted the trans up to the motor the motor would not turn over anymore at all.. there was also a small gap where the trans meet the motor and it did not want to close up with out using the bolts...... so i pulled it out today and found out what was wrong... this is the 2nd time i had it out to see what was wrong. the 1st time was to see what was making the gap. thought it was a messed up alignment pin the 1st time didint know the motor was locked.. put it in find out the motor is locked so i stoped working on it... that was sat night.. so today i pull it out for the 2nd time and look in side the bell housing and what do i see(im a dumb ***) the clutch slave bolts bent and was logged between 2 teeth. i didint have clutch slave on the trans yet and they hit the flywheel and locked the motor up... so i started it a few min ago and it runs very good. i will see how it drives in a few days after i fix some wires and the brakes

cheers PaTricK

ps sorry for all the poor spelling, grammer and what not lol

 

i work right up the street from you off sharon amity, our shop is Intense Motorsports. Stop by some time

 

Woa! sorry the pics turned out so BIG

 

 

Ok i want that greddy turbo timer hang on to it for me, i'll probably have the money within the next two weeks if not sooner and as soon as i get it i'll let you know and we can meet up so we can get it in. I'll probably let you put it in, i have the thirty but wont have any more money until next week, so i can have you put it in.

For the CAI let me know when you guys are meeting up and maybe i'll drive up.
