spudly13 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 . Is that an oil pan skid-plate?? .... Man I hate hitting bumps at speed that hit the crossmember or oil pan ... :frantics: ...... it's really less than an inch higher to avoid ever having that problem again i know, its more precautionary then anything, its only a thin piece of sheet metal, it took a couple dings so i figured i mine as well do something to help it out a litte if somethin were to happen!

I hve two huge tables and cant see one square inch of the table top.............i gotta go clean......... Edit: Lovin the valve cover :D i was bored waiting for my head gasket to come, and the blue chipped up look was driving me nuts, so i sand blasted it and painted it with transparent yellow glass paint lol see how long that lasts! actaully, same stuff i did my head lights with! Oh trust me.. thats just my little roll around cart... you should see our benches! lol Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Started working the motor more and more... its pretty damn quick, a lot more lag with the bigger turbo, but a lot more pull once it gets there! So far... loving the r1 carbed l20b turbo lol Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 the gold centred rims don't seem to suit the car as well as the other rims. well that's my oppinion any ways they would look better on my car :D Quote Link to comment

jalen Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I like the old wheels more.the New ones belong on a honduh Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Old wheels. I'd like to either see some color on them or something... They remind me of Ewing IIIs, but I just don't like the whole wheel in brushed. Quote Link to comment

They remind me of Ewing IIIs, but I just don't like the whole wheel in brushed. i thought about painting them a long time ago, and after seeing rattle canned wheels decided against it, ive thought about having them powdercoated... but i dunno what color, bright and flashy? or just somethings thats not so dull as grey?

spudly13 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Im gunna rock them for awhile, at least while the 69s down and see if they grow on me at all, but in the end ill go back to mine Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 What I would do is swap to the gold ones, then drive the grey ones down to JRock and look at his color wall. He's got like 300 options and I'm sure there's something in there for you. He does good work has fair prices. Send him a PM whenever you're ready to have them coated. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I love the gold ones but for some reason they just don't look right on that car. I think it's because of the two tone paint and naked panels. It looks too busy. Quote Link to comment
