Ghettoslide's " Seiron "

[ghettoslide]

Nong Si,..Yeah,... I know!!! White Comet.. Hold on and i'll post some more pics, It's raining out side and the car is out of the garage. I have some other guys honduh in there right now with a spun bearing. I have it apart and fixed now i need to put it back together. I don't mind though i'm letting it get "weathered"The color was flat black, i stripped it and the factory paint with aircraft stripper then painted it with rustolium gloss black.Camber, Nah the Altima was going flat. I ran over a nail it was still in there when i took the pics. The '990 -240 has camber i know because the subframe is bent. I already have another one to go in, but i am waiting for it's build up to begin. I am moving this weekend to a bigger house with a two car garage. The '90 is getting a VQ30 swap so i am not to worried about it. I tried to blow the KA24E that is in it, but it took hella abuse and felt sorry for it. I might donate it to someone here or KA-t. Someone that will build it and love it. will see when i pull it.Rain passed, sun shinning. Here are your pics white comet:

The reason i said i am not happy is only because i did not do enough prep work. This is my first paint job ( no duh, thats painfully obvious ) But mostly i like it. I tried to show the reflection in the one shot with my hand. The white you see in the pics is wax. I came from work one day and decided to wax the car before i went to get my baby. I waxed the entire car then tried to get it back off, but it was too hard. I was trying to save time by doing the entire car instead of a little at a time, FAIL. I still have to buff it anyway. I will get it all of and buff it after i move. All and all i think it turned out o.k.

SUE that B*TCH! she stole your car!

I'm glad you got it back though. She needs some lovin' !!! That poor thing.I like the flat black. it looks sexy

Remember, it's not stealing if her name is on the title also. . .

i dont want to be mean, and u already realized your mistakes, but that doesnt look really good. no offense but my first paint job (rattle canned in the wind) came out better then that. not being a d!ck though, i give you an A for effort

[ghettoslide]

Yeah i was thinking of redoing it. I have enough paint to do it, but i think it will be okay for now. I don't want to get caught up in the never ending process of perfecting the body, while the rest of the car is still a wreck. You seen the before pictures, i did make a improvement, flat black would have came out better and been more forgiving, but, iwanted to give this a shot. I will come back and revisit the body once i have the other damage addressed. I have a entire paint scheme i want to do later after i add the fenders and any other body parts i come across. I was'nt going for perfect because i knew i would never see it. I kept telling myself, it will be daily driven, it will hopefully one day get to the texas motor ranch, and i know it will go down the drag strip at texas motorplex it's only 20 miles away, so perfection went out the window. I will do it later for style and attitude. If i want perfect my brother knows a guy who will paint it for 1500.00 though i did mention i was poor.

did you rattle or role it?

[ghettoslide]

Thats a all the way rattle job. I bought all the stuff to roll it, but i had a extra fender in the garage and a can of rustoleum metallic silver, that i was painting a subfram and suspension with for the other car. I sprayed the fender just to see what would happen and it looked good, so i took all the stuff back and bought gloss black rattle cans and sprayed it. I might go back and do the metallic black when i redo it. It does not look that bad, but i want to go back and do a little more prep work next time.

[ghettoslide]

Picked up more parts. 14b tdo5 turbo, side mount innercooler, gauges, and pedals. Will post pics soon have to figure things out. I probably will not use the side mount, but i am trying to do budget build, another reason it is taking so long. trying to find deals, but i am in no rush.

some ppl say Excelling is the best form of revenge. I say fix the car till it excels, then accelerate into some doughnuts on her front Friggin' lawn what a rear end in a top hat.

Here are the pipcs i promosed ;omg ago. I have been working more lately. I am still putting parts togather. As of now i am up to a mere 300.00. I really want to keep it under a grand. I am going to repaint the car. I have decided to roll it this time, but that will wait until i see boost.I am going to remove the internal wastegate weld the gate shut and use a external. I am now on the hunt for a manifold.Found a manifold, looks like i can flip it and it will work as a bottom mount as well. The flange has to come off and i am going to try and make it tighter. That is way to close to the brake master cylinder. I have a lot of cleaning up to do under the hood, but all of this is just a test fit. Once the flange is made i can work on the exhaust, and try to plum the wastegate back in to it. Thats all for now i am going back after the interior.

Well yeah i know you thought i was gone. Good thing i am doing this for my own record. Well anyway i have been gone because i have been securing this beast. I know it is not a nissan, but i needed a truck and this one i got a stupid good deal on, due to scratched on the sides, the hood, and the tailgate. It will all be fixed when i finish the cars. Right now she runs and drives great, i am enjoying the feeling of haveing a new vehicle and no payments to make, I paid cash baby!!! Now back to Seiron. I am about to for go the budget idea and call it impossible, and just build. Looking and waiting on deals is taking to long and i would like to have her done in the next three months, so i can start on the other one Autumn Crush. Stay posted i will be back in action next month, for now i am going to go slap her i four wheel drive and run over something.

[ghettoslide]

Well i did again, in my quest for parts i came acroos a stupid good deal on a DSM. Yeah i know, but its a '98 eclipse GST. Looks good needs paint, but i have been working on it instead of seiron. I had to take a second job for awhile, but i quit now and i am back to work. I'm ready to get started again. Just thought i would post up since i havent in awhile. You will see pics of the DSM which has ni name yet when i post pics of seiron again.
