88701, Pics of my car Posted by candyeclipse98, Sep-04-05 11:14 PM
Here is some pictures of what I have done so far. Tell me what you think.
 The valve cover is powdercoated candy red and I polished the letters. Various other parts were powdercoated mirror silver. If anyone is interested in getting things powdercoated go to powderperfect.com and mention my name when you talk to kevin (the owner). This guy does amazing work







If anyone has any questions on how i did anything let me know. Also opinions, good or bad, are welcome

Very Clean...but that wing looks like the back wing of a 747, other than that very nice job. But i really shouldnt talk...i am probably the wheelgap king here right now...next thing to buy springs!

clean, but that wing is hideous. Love the strut bars tho, how much where those, and where did you get them?

Yea wing def has to go. Also do you have any pictures of more the car, im trying to figure out if you have 2 red strips coming down or something from that back pic, not sure. Also where are you located, guessing somewhere in Europe. Overall the car is very clean. :thumbsup Good work

Ditto on the wing also, sorry man.

Motor is clean, you need to turbo that shit though bro.
Just like everyone else said though, you gotta lose the wing!

88713, RE: Pics of my car Posted by injendsm, Sep-05-05 07:08 AM
one of the cleanest engine bays ive ever seen. im not digging the red wheels and the wing is disturbing, but other than that, i like the car.

I beleive the red is primer form filling the holes from the factory. The car is hot from what I can see, But the wing has got to go. If I can do it you can to(I had an APR 10 in. aluminum wing) Remember the supra from Fast and the Furious? I had That wing, and It was huge.

I would love to see more of every aspect of the car, like more exterior/Interior...plus it appeared as though I saw some of the great stuff foam sprayed in the rear strut bar opening...that kinda boggles my mind a bit!
If you could post more pics of the car I would love to see the whole package.

for the most part i really like what you've done, the motors really clean, one thing i would do, is at least get a heat shield on your exhaust manifold, or maybe even some new headers if you aren't planning on going turbo, definately clean up that intake tube, and take the falling off aem stick off, if it were me i'd lose the wing, but thats just personal preference, besides that, it looks awesome!

I dont understand what you have done or why you have done it. Do you not like the stock places for things? Speakers in high side of the door? Stereo up high instead of vents and you still have the stock stereo in?
Sounds like your bored and wasting money to me.

The 2gnt in europe came with the 4g63 NT engine not the 420a. Unless he imported the car.
Anyways looks clean but rims and wing big no no. But if you like keep it.

88731, RE: Pics of my car Posted by jonhix, Sep-05-05 06:54 PM
I like the struts too ^^ Oh and take off your reverse light cover, and dump it out...its full of water...mine probably is too.

I have the car in europe because I am in the military and am stationed in spain. Got to ship my car over here with me. The great stuff in the strut towers was to fill all the useless space back there to quiet down the interior. I don't know why everyone doesn't like my wing. It doesn't look too bad in person. I will try to take more pics tonight. Thanks for all the comments

man those strut bars look BADASS... so does the whole motor.. how did you change that metal bar that runs above the exhaust mani to AN lines? that looks wicked, mine is damn ugly and I want to do something about it... and where are all your wires hidden?
plus the wing doesn't look that nice in that picture, but I really like the wing on our car from other angles... looks really, really nice. I just don't like the one pylon idea.

Originally posted by BumpinTalon how did you change that metal bar that runs above the exhaust mani to AN lines? that looks wicked, mine is damn ugly and I want to do something about it... It's a coolant pipe, sir. Where there is a will, there is a way. Might even just be SS line ran over the existing pipe. :shrug Two things are for certain:
1. That braided coolant line looks beautiful. 2. We need more pictures of the entire car.
I think the wing is more DC-10, though. Definitely not 747 material.
