alright dudes.
help me out with prepping for paint and shit.

i'm trying to find a good writeup.
i saw it last week and forgot where it was..

but i wana know what grit sand papers to use on the stock metal/fiberglass and some filler stuff/hardener and things like that.

any help is much appreciated.

320 is all you ever need for prep.

sand the paint.
sorry my baad.

how about filler/hardner that you use to fill in scratches and stuffs?

depends how big they are, for minor stuff i like the evercoat lightweight filler.. cuts down and shapes pretty easy, few pinholes if any

agree with longrain on the 320, personally i use 400 normally, and red scuff pads in door jams and small hard to reach areas.

anything under 320 will leave to heavy of scratches for the paint to fill, and over 400 is a little smooth for paint to stick, you will run the paint easier..

just remember to prime anything that is showing bare metal, or if you ground off some rust

still trying to collect 5spd parts so if anyone has anything let me know pleaaasuh

Should have gotten G-corp...

if i was doin exterior mods the only thing that woulda been fiberglass is rear overs and a jdm front bumper lip.

came with the aero.
so i'm gona save my money and just rock it til i smash it.

you can use lower than 320 grit, you just have to have a filler type primer

screw paint.
just looked at my bank.

CS Lenses
Origin blinkers
Dmax corners and side markers.

the dmax/origin light stuff is basically the same..

225/40/18
18x10+4
rolled stock fenders.
thinking of throwing that wheel out back with a bigger spacer
and running the same setup up front but with a 225/35, or a different tire that's a 225/40 that stretches more.

what do u guys think i should do for the front.

megan coils maxed out with collars still on.
camber thangs all the way over.

Looks good!

Looks good the way it is, but Ive always liked slightly bigger tires than most. Shits looking good, but I hate those wheels.

thanks guys.
but i can't even turn the wheel halfway.
gona need a smaller tire but don't know what to do..
225/35
different 225/40
or a 215/40.

and the wheels.. idc.. they were 600 bux shipped brand new..

i think the wheels look pretty good..

i would hit up a 215/40 over the 225/35.. with the stretch they will be damn close to the same size, but that 35 sidewall will run you extra cash and limit your brands of tire

how the FUCK do u get the 4 17mm bolts off the rear 4lug by the axel.?

i can't get the socket around the top 2.
got the bottom 2 off... HALP!

do you have the suspension links disconnected?

when we did mine we used an impact gun, didnt have any problems getting it in there.

crescent wrench

Seems everyone has had problems doing this. I did mine going in blind thinking it was gonna be super duper hard. Was a cake for me. Used breaker bar and then spun the axle cause it has grooves on it to get the rest. Idk man I thought it was easy as fuck. Took me like 15 minutes a side.... Gl. I'd go help but I got my shit to worry about. I'm working on it right now haha... Good luck tho.

got it.. now this wack ass hub puller i got from vatozone fucking SUCKS!
wont even grip the hub n shit to push the axel back.

Try pulling the steering wheel a little from each side. That usually works.

Ohhh shit lol I thought you meant the steering wheel hub. I saw the last post and.... well point is i fucked up.

autozones are so small i can clean the grimey shit under my toe nails with.

I think u can buy one for cheap at harbor freight...
