thats funny the car used to be silver at one point. from my sanding it went like this: factory dark green (w/ brown interior), professionally painted silver, crappy neon green (it was a show car ), rattle can dark blue, primer, light blue, rattle can semi gloss black

nothing wrong with having an R title, as long as the damage was fixed properly. Flood vehicles are FTL though.

alright, just a little update for now. the company i ordered the calipers from emailed to let me know they were unable to get the right side caliper in at all. i took a full refund fro both calipers and went to pep boys. i got the calipers from them but it does not include the bracket part of the caliper, so that is the last piece i need to get and then the Q brakes will be on. i havent taken pictures yet of the turbo manifold or the calipers and im still waiting on a few things to get in. its been hard to make much progress with the current weather, since its snowing right now. i for have a few pics from yesterday of how i found my car in the morning. it was worse earlier in the day and these pics are after it melted a little. this was also Spike's first time in the snowand Spike wondering what this white stuff isBONUS PIC- my wife dressed Spike up in a reindeer outfit

i agree w/ almost all of those. the kouki wing is sitting in my garage, i just havent had a chance to paint it w/ the rest of the car, i was about to buy a 180 kouki cluster from a guy on zilvia but then it fell through (if anyone knows someone selling a kouki cluster lmk) i have all the paint supplies sitting in my garage to paint it daytona blue, im really considering black though as well. i didnt wanna have good paint put on and then go through winter right away, so i spray bombed it and im waiting til spring. i might wait a little longer and upgrade the turbo and the head first. i mean if i finish the engine work and hit my goals of nearly 400hp, this car will look badass on the road, rattle canned paint but sounding like a monster. mrgreeneyes says if ur car is fast enough f*** paint. i will get to it eventually i just might like to see more performance first. and the only thing i disagree w/ is the ganadors, too pricey and i dont think they would look right on an s13, im not a fan but the more i see em on ur car the more they grow on me

correct, i think we just got him this summer, best dog ever hands down, so loyal and fun yet a good size for a smaller apartment as well. ive heard corgis described as a big dog in a small dogs body, and that sums it up pretty well

Man my car looks just like yours! Its covered in snow! Unfortunately i'm going to have to work in those conditions tomorrow I just got word from the machine shop that they saved my head for my ka and i can have it running by sat. Its gonna cost me 115$ for them having to mill it down and put in a new head gasket spacer. Snow sucks! But the up side is that my s13 will hopefully be running in 2 days Can't wait my parking lot is calling me! A friend of mine's dad is the pastor at a church in the middle of nowhere so he lets me have fun as long as i pay for anything that gets damaged!

Car's looking sick dude. Was there a reson the lights were up or is that just how you left them. I saw somewhere that they can freeze shut but I don't know. When it's done I'd love to see it, I'm in South Jersey so I'll probably hitting up all the Phila. meets and a guess you go to some of those?

i heard the philly meets stopped happening, if they are still on i'd like to go. the lights were up cuz i didnt have a chance to line up all the body panels so things were a little off, they're up now because of the freezing thing, hasnt happened to me but ive seen it happen to others so i do it just to be safe

sorry about tonight bro. got outta work late and didderson needed a ride to pick up his 240 which i found out as i got there, that it had BADDDD rod knock. so its legal, but didnt run at all. so i dragged him home in the ranger and managed to get the ranger stuck in his yard for the better part of an hour and a half. soooo yeah...

im off today at 8. and i stole diddersons HUD harness (shhh, nico didnt hear that i am working on a hud project yet) to triple check my pinouts before i fire this cluster up in a test car... yours. let me know asap.

and take those coils outta your sig. they are mine. and ill bring the alloys tomorrow so you can pay me then i can order my new hottnesses.

and if my lil cluster thing works... we are totally doing it to yours and diddersons cars. we will be the trifecta of badassery
