JZ33 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 umm... a thermostat housing, brake rotors (fronts of course), and new hoses... cuz a couple were cut when removing the L26 before... Quote Link to comment
blueridgespeed Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 NEED OPINIONS! Im going to be doing the body work and then paint it after I fit my flares (so I wont have to cut through paint haha) but... I cant decide what color! No reds, blues, or blacks... those are already ruled out unless its a super crazy awesome color... So please, input and opinions!! I'm generally about 6 months- 2years behind...in most things, but IMHO 15x7's 0 offset, with 215's front and 225's rear fit well with STOCK fenders and handle great. This and a Tokico illumina damper and spring set front and rear, and Suspension techniques bars front and rear made for a great-handling road z with stock fenders. It took a lot of work to get my 510 to handle like this! Quote Link to comment

JZ33 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 not sure exactly which ones but i can point to them LOL Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 You guys do realize... I have to finish the paint on the body and fenders and the flares all before they will actually be put on... BUT the drivers side rear is finished, so now just the pass rear... after that things should start going a bit faster... Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 If you're painting the car before you at least mock up the flares, you should do a lot of taping around where you'll be cutting. The cutting and welding involved with preparing the quarters fucks up paint. Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Please. Just to partially satisfy us... Even tape them on there.... I NEED TO SEEZ DA FLARES Quote Link to comment

The cutting and welding involved with preparing the quarters fucks up paint. you have been gone too long haha Im doing all the cutting and welding BEFORE the paint, then paint, then final install because instead of the rubber welting I will be using the 3M moulding (double sided) tape because it is moisture resistant and will work much better for me... Please. Just to partially satisfy us... Even tape them on there.... I NEED TO SEEZ DA FLARES ALRIGHT, Ill tape on the side that I have cut and welded and pop on the wheel... but it wont be on the ground... and to hold you over until then... Quote Link to comment
