WC's never ending s13 project

[White Comet]

im blowing my nose nonstop and i have a scratchy throat, its keeping mre up an di cant sleep.

oh and i had purchased a real cheap rotary cutting tool from pepboys to cut the plastic for my zune dock, and i figured the $14 pepboys one would be cheap but i was like, "i'm only going to cut plastic, it should be fine." WRONG, it couldn't even go through plastic . just picked up a variable speed craftsman one today that was on sale form $90 and it kicks @ss so i'll do some more work to my zune dock now

throat coat tea FTW

Lookin good WC

Sorry if I missed this somewhere in this thread, but what'd you use for your gauges? Orange LED's? And how did it come out? I know cameras like to make them look better than they do.

[idahotuner]

the gauges are Faze.

the light is most likely a light bulb that screws in. and the light bulb has a cover on it to make it a differnt color. this is how my autometer gauges are.

now that i a nice rotary cutting tool, i'll finish it shortly and do a writeup

[Clawhammer]

Oh, it looks like Amber LEDs. If you pull it off let me know how you do it so it looks better. The backs of the gauges are sky blue, so it filters the light. I put white wide angle LED's in my cluster and it comes out icy-blue/purple. I put blue in and it's pretty good. I want to go red but I'm affraid with the blue it'll come out purple...so that's why I'm interested in amber. I got pics of the blue and white LED's if you want.

[itrzach]

shes coming along.

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

[mrgreeneyes]

thank you comet. Wheni get back I'll put up a pic of what the owner before me did for an ipod/zune

yeah im interested in seeing other ideas so feel free to post pics

i just texted you. im free in the morning for a while, i'll call u then, but it sounds good

thanks for a ll the compliments, i haver a few more pics to post up, but i didnt have my camera w/ me so they're on my mom's camera w/ her. i'll be getting them tomorrow to post. i took the pics BMAR240SX asked for of the door panels and i'll have em up tomorrow.

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

It's a really basic idea but works really will, my gf uses it to hold her ipod when she's in the car

[idahotuner]

i cant wait to start on my interior. but right now we are jsut doing body work. cant wait to get the paint outta the way.

yeai want ot see more pics of your panels and how they turned out.

[White Comet]

alright i have a few more pics to put on here, so consider this a little Christmas update, cuz i might be too busy to get much done over the next few days. not much else has happened, i just have the door panel pics u asked for and a few more random pics i found

theres still a little work to be down on the panel in the pic, if u look closely u can see where the fiberglass dripped thoguh a little. its no big deal seeing as it chips off nicely and leaves no marks on the material. this is pretty much the final product though, just imagine it a little more cleaned up. i also have pics of the other door panel that hasnt been done to show a comparison

heres a few night pics of the car from a while ago. i was messing w/ the camera's settings and somehow ended up w/ green in some pics oh well, enjoyhope u enjoyed and i hope to make more progress as soon as i can, but have a merry Christmas and as always, feel free to comment and ask questions

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

Wow, the interior lights up all nice and pretty

[White Comet]

i'm getting a jdm cluster, and changing the bulbs to blue, and then the interior will be even prettier lit up

[idahotuner]

yea the inside looks like a space shuttle cockpit. haha getting ready for our outta this world space flight we were planing

[2LO4URHO]

Looks like no rest for the Comet. Gotta keep moving forward.

[White Comet]

hahah thank you and yeah it sometimes seems true. the only thing that sucks is when 1 thing goes a few more follow. my washer fluid motor has been dead and on my way to pick up the replacement, the thermostat craps out. now the driver side fender, needs adjusted since the door is pinching it and it cant open proaperly. the car also started idling gunny tonight just a little, so i've got some work to do

[idahotuner]

yea we gota space flight planed and he has a lot to get ready for it. like painting his car with heat resistant paint

[White Comet]

thats true, its all part of the plan

[idahotuner]

i know it is awesome. but at this rate we may have to take mine caue my build is catching up to yours

[White Comet]

true, maybe we need to merge our cars into a transformer to truly kick ***

[cOrPsE]

wow what a sik transformation your sr is f-in sik

[White Comet]

thank you, i plan to make it even better and post more pics. i dont know why, but i love ur sig

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

You can use a DOHC cluster for your SR right?? Clips right into the dash correct??

[White Comet]

yep, u shouldnt have any problems iirc, i dont think the tach has to be modified but i cant remember. u can use an sohc cluster is u replace the tach w/ a jdm or dohc one
