Chapter2: From the Slut to the Scraper. (new car..)(does 56k even still exist?)

Don't you love it when that happens. Where you have one 10mm wrench and no 10mm socket, you put the 10mm down for 1 second, and spend the rest of the fuggin afternoon looking for it?

Yes. The joys of working on cars.

[email protected] I want more pictures of your car!

There's plenty of Ted's ride around the site man, just search his name for the topics he's created.

Reason I'm asking in this thread instead of just emailing you is because I'm sure ppl will also ask the same thing.

Why did you choose that username? Is your CA bored out perhaps?

Maybe its like the dude with "SR24DET"

Just wanted to mix and match ****.

[FeintMind]

Anyway. Updates? Sure.

I got the EDFC installed, finished cleaning up the interior a bit (still not very attractive, but at least its all there and clean. I </3 brown interior.)

oh and one other little thing I got done today...



My car is one color!

[FeintMind]

OK soo.. not that anyone is following this, but... Little bit of an update.

Finally Sprayed the car with Rattle Can. Rustoleum gloss black Lacquer.It has come out pretty damn good. I just started the 2000 grit final wet sanding today, and will be finishing that up within the next few days... and then the next sunny day i get (or maybe in 2nd block autoshop) will be applying the Rubbing Compound... and finally the wax job. I can't wait to have this all finished.(Yes, i know the pics are total crap. I will get better ones when I have completely finished the job. Its turning out far better than I had anticipated...)

ON TO PICS!

[pflicht]

Lookin good man! What's next?

[Didderson]

I like the oldschool rims man. I was skeptical about 14" but i like em keep up the good work.

[FeintMind]

Lookin good man! What's next?

Finishing up the paint work, then tires.

I REALLLLLLLY need new rears.

after that, rear over fenders. my QP's are beat to hell.

Those are the major things...

at this point, I really just need to keep saving money.

A friend of mine from school is going to buy my old coupe for 2500. He's listing his truck up on craigslist and as soon as it sells, he's picking up the old coupe.

all that money will go straight to my parents, and I'll finally be broken even again. $2530 is a deep hole to be in.

but then everything I make will be mine again and I'll be able to start getting serious about the car.

Down-the line plans include a KA-T and i need to do something about the open diff. probably go welded, at least for a semi-long term temporary... suspension is taken care of, wheels, well, i'm happy with the celi-supras for a while. body, like i said, just want to get those overfenders.Interior, you've seen the basis for that, a few posts up.uhhh oh yeah. and INSURANCE.

but it feels good to have a secured buyer not just a "dude I want your car"its a "I've got dibs, I'll give you 25. just gotta sell my truck"May not seem that promising, but his temporary registration is up at the end of Feb and he wants to sell it before that happens.

I like the oldschool rims man. I was skeptical about 14" but i like em keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, 14's aren't baller by any means, but at least I don't look at the wheels with [in regards to sunkenness] disgust like I did with the alloys.

[leveloneae86]

haha, everone takes car pics at that parking garage near downtown. lol nice coupe. ur rigggies friend right? i used to go to livermore high for autobody with del.

[FeintMind]

lol. yeah yeah thats my homie.

ricky with the black DA integra, right? yeah.

but you might be thinking of someone else... he's got another friend that had a maroon silvia... but he just traded it for a hatchback.

anyway yeah..

er ca20det is a ca20e engine shortblock from a s12 200sx with the head from a ca18det they are decently powerful engines and fun but they have issues with the weak piston rods due to their longer length.

nice replacement car feint hope it comes out how you want it to.

Hmh. Learn something new every day.

And I'm quite sure it will. After all, I'm the only one who can control the fate of this car (theft and not-my-fault collisions aside) so I have plenty of faith in my own work by now.

[Asmar]

All I got to say is...

[gripstr]

Looks 461211667642187612156765461.39978 better

[FeintMind]

All I got to say is...

Damn, Thanks!

Looks 461211667642187612156765461.39978 better

and yet more thanks!

It will look 30 times better once i finish up the wet sanding and apply the rubbing compound, and then once i get the rear over fenders.

God am I looking forward to all that.

[FeintMind]

K, finished all that up... I could have done a better job if I had spent more time on it... but alas, I am very very lazy and even more impatient......

But it turned out pretty damn good... especially for a first time painting, and only like $90.

[Uberck]

looks good for now man but what the **** is up with that qp?

[pflicht]

Very NICE! I love rainy day pix! In fact I love rainy days... idk y.

[mrgreeneyes]

get some wheels asap man, and some rear overfenders and that thing will be clean...

keep it up man

[nevertheless]

the tint on the back window.yuk.

[FeintMind]

I know, its beat to hell

and

Overfenders are next on the list. Just gotta get the slut sold and my debt paid off first. Wheels, I can wait... As I've said before, I don't mind the celi-supras. I kinda like em.

the tint on the back window.yuk.

I know, its weird... But I actually kinda like it, it makes it really really hard to see the rear shelf where the speakers sit... One less reason to try to break into my car.

[turbodcivic]

whats going on man, this is richard. i met you the other day you live right down the street from me.

ive got the blue coupe and the wrecked hatch

lookin good.

[FeintMind]

Ah yeah, whats up!

Thanks.

I'm lookin forward to seein another clean coupe runnin around town.

[turbodcivic]

right on, this was my last hatch that i trade my AE86 for

zerothread?id=316877

[FeintMind]

Ya know, its almost a shame, I saw you driving that hachi just like a week before, and my jaw almost dropped. Thing was clean.

Deep down, I want a corolla.One day I might buy one... but I love the silvia too much to give it up for one.

I'd love to have one of each though.

[DJButton]

Dang, so much cooler then it was! Keep it up!

[FeintMind]

Not too much of an update...

I just recently replaced the clutch mc, feels so much better now.

...Just figured I'd post this up cuz I finally uploaded this, took a drive with a homie (KonaaRSN on Nico) to the local JC and snapped a couple of pics... Sadly this is the only one that came out good, but it is worth it, cuz I really do love this pic.

[Crunkrich]

Looks great, but good god whats up with that rear camber? Fix that shiz brahhh

[Asmar]

Very nice. That thing looks brand new now.
