is that rattle can? if so what kind looks good

Post by **ItzGenX** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

It's called primer! Primer is primer..if you don't know what that is then take an autobody class. Primer is the Pre-Layer that helps paint stick to the car. It also comes in many colors.

No ****!! I was asking if its rattle can or if he had it done like with a spray/paint gun. Oh Im ASE certified but thanks for nice coments! It just looks very good if he did it with a can.

Very nice! Well if there's one wheel color that looks ok with burgundy, its gold. What offset were the wheels? From this experience what offset would you recommend? I have an s14 with coilovers and will soon have 300zx brakes and am trying to find out what offsets I want. Thanks

hey my black rims look good with my burgundy car!hehe

Post by **Silviagirl79** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

black looks good with almost anything...I am getting black rims to match my newly painted silver sr powered s14....hmm cant wait.

Post by **hokiruu** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

but with black rims it looks like you dont have rims, like a cool "black hole" effect. Unless you have three piece black rims with fat polished lips. Its the anti-bling!...kinda like grey primer!

the offsets are mentioned in an earlier post.... lol.. somewhere in the 10 pages

Are you going to hit the road course at all or is this for mainly street use?

Reason I am asking is because the rear wheels get *really* close to the rear coilovers during extremely hard cornering, but, you wont corner the car that hard unless you are running v700's on a sticky road course =)

Great rims very happy with them.. got a set of 300zx rims on the way to use as beaters.

btw - black rims look really good, however, they tend to look smaller than they really are though since black does not show light aswell as other colors/finishes.

I would eventually like to road race, but its primarily for street use, although I have been known to pretend to drift (as much as my soon-to-be-gone-no-upper-end KA will alow me to).Yeah sorry for asking the same question as like ten other people. I actually didn't even realize there were so many pages until after I posted. Still, thanks for the additional real-world info!

Nils, the car....absolutely incredible!!!!!!

Post by **ItzGenX** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

Hey Nils, I am confused. A couple of your post point out that the front rims are 8", and the post where you tell us your offset says they are 9". So which one is it?

Post by **Nils** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

you are right... I made a mistake when posting my upgrade list.

they are 17x8

Post by **JustinStrife** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

Haha tsk tsk tsk Nils

But seriously dude. Your car is very cool. I wouldn't mind having an S14 with the SR20 swap but that's just one of many cars I wouldn't mind having in my driveway...

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

Car has come together very well. Saved that video clip, car sounds incredible... Hope my exhaust sounds that good.. and is that the Greddy Type S bov? Even my girlfriend commented on the nice BOV sound.

Post by **JustinStrife** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

Nils u got fans yo!

Post by **Nils** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

last night I hit a big rock and it completely smashed my blitz fmic =(

Hopefully it wont take too long to get a custom made IC made..... at this point the car is undriveable. There might be some suspension damage aswell, but I need to check the car over and see what I find.

lol... I dont have fans, we are all fans of the car =)
