This is going to turn into my weekly rant thread about my car. :)
I've spent the past two w eeks buying part after part collecting all necessary materials and objects to turbo my s12.
I am so close, but I have a feeling that something is gonna go wrong/not work.
I need a downpipe, a better BOV, I would like to have a boost controller and I need a RRFPR.
I was hoping to be ready for tonights races @ race city to see what kinds of times mycar would get, but I think that may be happening next week......or maybe the week after??
At anyrate, I bought some sweet ass tremclad satin/flat black paint, loaded up my spray gun and my compressor, went out and sprayed my car. I painted everything. I got so eager with the gun......I have over spray to clean up on the windows (Very easy to do with paint thinners + steel wool) and I painted the wheels, and all the trim black, and the door jams.
IMHo it looks amazing. Compared to a can, well there is no comparison.
I've painted cars flat black with a can before and they never turn out that great. There are light spots all over and lots of clouding because of the aerosol spraying ont he car instead of paint when the can gets low. The paint gun did such a better job. I'm thinking of some sort of 2 tone paint job, but I haven't quite decided what kind of color scheme to go with. Anybody have suggestions?
anyway back to work, :whocares: :goflames:
