Rims look nice...can't wait to see them with tires and mounted on your car. Did you use a local shop to powder coat? If so was it in the "Fayettenam" area or closer to the Charlotte area? I was also wondering if the shop had any concerns about powder coating rims. I've heard some places don't like to do rims because when you bake the rims it can cause them to get brittle. But I don't know anything about this...just what I've read on some forums. Keep us posted.

I just got a set of rota attack's for my vert!

i used to do coatings and being brittle after bake has never been a problem.

i only baked normal powders at 300 degrees. i highly doubt that is hot enough to mess up the molecular structure of the wheels.

Cool...that's what I was thinking as well...I think some people were just putting out bogus info about powder coating. Brake temps well exceed 300 degrees and though I'm sure rim temps don't reach that, I wouldn't think the baking temp would effect the rims. I've had a few items on my car powder coated and plan to have a few more things done but I would like to find a good shop that does it locally so I don't have to pay shipping. Thanks again for the info 240daveTX .

I will be posting some pics of the car prob friday. She needs a detail bad cause I haven't got a chance to clean her. But as soon as I finishing giving her a bath I will post some pictures. Hows everyone doing.

Post by **cmoody2006** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 1:55 pm

Not so good.... I broke mine just shortly after putting my new wheels on think i spun a bearing again.... I'm dreading going out to mess with it in fear of that and the machine shop hasn't even touched my spare block to get it ready for my forged internals so it's been a bad day

I think I have one of those Nissan logo's that goes on the door pillar. Next time I head over to the shop I'll look in my parts boxes to see if I can find one. Email me your address and I'll send it to you if I find it. My email is in my profile.

Any of our sponsors (look on the right).

Weatherstriping may have to be custom or ebay. New door panels probably don't exsist, best bet is to find used and/or get an upohlstery shop.

Check ebay/craigslist and our classifieds for a used AT transmission. Should be many around due to 5-speed swaps, any '91-'94 AT transmission will work.

Post by **the vert** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 6:06 am

Sorry this took so long but I dont have good internet at my place so I had to upload at my girl's house.

But without further due here she is.

please I want your honest opinion on this guys. I know its different but I love it.

Post by **wmdavis007** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 2:10 pm

Wow!! Me likey!! I love white rims on white cars. Looks really good...nice choice getting them powder coated.

Post by **cmoody2006** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 2:29 pm

Post by **240daveTX** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 8:51 am

looks like its black.

the white coated wheels look good

Post by **the vert** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 6:40 pm

yea, its just black, dont know why though. It was like that when I bought the car. Getting ready for a 5 speed swap. Found one close by for 400 bucks. I just have to buy a new clutch. What is a cheap clutch that is pretty good? Thanks for all the positive comments on the wheels. I know its not that common at least not in my area.

Get you an Exedy clutch kit. You can get an OEM one for about $190 or you can get a High Performance Stage 1 for about $335. Here is a link to the OEM replacement clutch: http://www.frsport.com/Exedy-O....htmlIt's the one I went with when I did my 5-speed swap and it works great.

Post by **the vert** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 4:47 pm

got a question guys im temp gauge will go all the way up and I will pull over, pop the hood and the motor will feel normal. Im thinking it might be my thermostat but I just had a shop put a new one in. Could it be that they could have installed it wrong?
