thats what I want to do, but i dont know how. I have to find someone that knows how to do all that shit properly.

I went and picked up the car today, so at least its on campus with me now...

I dont know about this shit, I'm afraid if I start trying to fix it, the car's going to be down for a while.. and I cant really afford that with the season starting in a month..

Update. I bought this.



no fun shall be had.

Did you buy the ruler the guy used to measure his dick with also?

It said it includes what is shown in the pics, so if I dont see a ruler, he's getting negative feedback.

oh I forgot to post a while ago about these.

had them made out of a nice sheet of aluminum.

^What am I looking at there?

Racecar door panels?

yep

oh...

You have 4 doors? wtf?

they are not all mine. thats just a pic dude posted on that jdm chicago forum. I guess he made an extra set for someone.

oh................






So you have 4 doors?

yes

Can't wait to see this rolling in person

Vin did those right??

yep.

cruised around town today for an hour or so since the weather is nice.. felt good.

I got revved at by a rusted out stock S13 and a dude in a newer celica covered in TRD stickers almost rear ended the car in front of him trying to get a good look.

Car is going down this weekend for electrical work and diff replacement.

This is rad. More low, though.

Axle bearings are FINALLY ordered... now i have everything I need to do my diff.

I think I might replace all the hardware with stainless nuts and bolts while I'm at it.. might as well.

I'm hoping to get the rear end out tomorrow..

update.

Its still on jackstands.

removing the rear end isnt going quite as smoothly as planned.

its disconnected and sitting on the ground, but where the lower 4 links connect to the chassis, the bolts are stuck in their sleeves.

I'm hoping a 1/2" drive impact will loosen them up...

I'm hardly going to have time to work on it this weekend so we'll see what happens.

on the positive side, I was able to get the upper 4 links and the lateral rod off and started replacing the bushings in those.. so at least part of the job is getting done...

I kind of wish I would have just brought it somewhere and paid them to do this... I hate dealing with this shit.

new page, no more faggot talk in here.

I want to paint this car some dank, drab color... maybe even FLAT. Like primer.. but color.

discuss.

I'm thinking like a faded mint green color or some shit.

I know ima regret not going red. but I want this car to not be red.. even if its briefly.

dont do flat.
Mint green sounds awesome.

not necessarily flat.

but I want it to look old, not super shiny and new.

I wish you could buy paint pre faded.. like some sick jeans from the BUCKLE

Creamy yellow/white <3

its possible
