ka24de vs. ka24det - Round II

[Frank E Bones]

Im liking Subaru Timberline Green Pearl

How bout this?

[Razi]

I've seen a car somewhere that got painted only Seafoam Green, the top color of that two-tone.
Looked pretty clean.

[biggie]

Go with an Emarld Green, always liked it. Looks dark green during day and almost black at night.

I know it was on mid 90's Maximas.

This, and it was. Out of your choices, I like the Nordic green too.

I must have a polar opposite personality then you guys when it comes to suspension and ride quality. Then again, I grew up driving road yachts, 77 Caprice Classic, 79 Monte and a full size GMC Sierra. To me the stock suspension, other then having to much body role, is about as harsh as I can stand for a daily. I'm more of a Cadillac CTS kinda guy I think. Perhaps I'm just getting old

You guys tighten up everything and slam the s*** out of them. I was dragging my lip all over the place on stock suspension, I can't imagine driving some of your cars. The hassle of entering a parking lot sidewayz and at 2 mph is simply more then I could bare. In fact, I want to commit murder sometimes when I have to wait for one of you ***holes to navigate in or out of traffic

Mine's only lowered a bit. I think stock height S13's look ridiculous, the S14 only sits a tad bit lower stock, but it looks fine at that height (not ideal, but fine) probably bc of the body lines. I have one finger width of space (about one inch) b/t the tops of my tires and the fender. That's low enough for me.

[WDRacing]

Stock is definitely ugly, no doubt there. I just hate the sacrifice made to avoid the 4x4 look. Overly tight vehicles aren't my thing. If I had to pick a vehicle that most suited me and my personality it would be the Buick Grand National. Extremely simple, loves boost, comfortable, goes wicked fast straight and looks sinister even at rest.

DO IT, you won't

Dude, you should write ads for catalogs or something, i used to think these things were fugly.

[Razi]

Those things are badass and go like heck!

[homeslicej2]

I'd love a Grand National for a crusing car (they were awful in turns) My mother loved her two Cutlasses, so that type of body style from the 80's stuck with me.

[Chris28]

I made my decision. I'm going pig front as well so it will work out nicely.

[Razi]

hawt
btw chris, does your water temp jump up when you turn on your a/c?
Mine jumps up to like 180 right away so I'm scared to use it.

[Frank E Bones]

Shweeet

[Chris28]

Lol FEB the more I thought about 2 tone I realized I'd never seen a 2 tone hatch, googled it and that's what I found. Good suggestion, sir.

Razi I don't have an aftermarket temp gauge so I don't know what my temps are exactly, but the cluster gauge doesn't move at all when I turn on AC.

[Frank E Bones]

Hey Razi, stop being a Granny and just drive

Isnt the optimal operating temperature for KA 160F to 190F? As long as you dont go over 210 you should be fine right?

[Frank E Bones]

Good suggestion, sir

No problemo. I still wants me a coupe like the one I posted.
If I dont get it white, ill definitely do a two-tone as well.

[Razi]

Yeah as long as I'm not at 210 it should be fine.
But my Autometer one jumps up but my stock dummy gauge doesn't.

Still makes me paranoid though.

[Frank E Bones]

What kind of T-Stat you running?

[Razi]

None.


I've been meaning to put my Nismo one in but never got around to do it. :P

[Frank E Bones]

None.

Come on Razi, you know better than that. It should keep your water temps a bit more stable. Im gonna replace mine with the Nismo one too.

[WDRacing]

I trust Autometer, plus it's a good habit to stay on the side of caution when it comes to overheating the ole KA. I run a Koyo and the Nismo stat with twin S14 AC fans.

[Razi]

None.

That's a good setup!
I just need to install this Nismo t-stat.
Koyo rad + Stock fan + Stock shroud + Nismo t-stat should work out well for me.

I might even put a small cooler on my turbo's coolant feed line.

[Frank E Bones]

Hey WD thanx for the links you provided. That s*** is crazy full of options, a hell of a lot more than I needed. Still cool though. Im gonna have to mess with it for a while before I get the hang of it. My nephew found something that just resembles turntables and its just for mixing music you already have. Its pretty kool.

[Frank E Bones]

Hey Chris, are you gonna try to get that Euro rear bumper?


I wants one soooooo bad for my car. Why dont we have that rear lip available here damnit!!!?

[krimsonviper]

Because I touch myself at night!

[Razi]

Because I touch myself at night!

Sup foo?!

[Frank E Bones]

Because I touch myself at night!

Well stop it!

[motoman399]

Because I touch myself at night!

whats wrong with that?

[krimsonviper]

Not much. Building a deck. >_<
I really need to stop... But I can't... I love the strategy in building them... There's crack in every cardboard slip... Crack...


You shouldn't do it.

[krimsonviper]

Because I touch myself at night!

Well stop it!

I can't help it! I look so scrumptious!

Because I touch myself at night!

whats wrong with that?

I dunno, but it's causing Frank problems! S'ok with me y0!

Your legs wont have the energy to do backflips the next day
