its sad your selling those nice Work rims, right up my alley, would make awesome track wheels

this probly means your planing something big wheel-wize, any teasers?

[DJ]

Not 100% sure yet ,i'm definatly going 18" probably some 18x10 rpf1 or xd9 18x10..don't know yet I need something to go with the new agressive look ,maybe a bigger dish...

[frankiman]

bronze XD9s FTW

[DJ]

I was thinking of those...but they're heavy..

We'll see if they'll sell!

[DJ]

Little update ,i've started on applying the paint under the car and spraying a final rubberrized coating over the paint .Its only the drivers side that's done up to now.


I've removed the stock intake manifold to replace it with a A/M unit with a q45 throttle body but i've decided to invest into cams instead.Now that I've removed it already I might aswell freshen it up.What color do you guys think I should make it?Keep it black? r34 oem style silver?Polished?

[frankiman]

i was quoted 450$ to get mine polished

should get it powder coated the same color as the engine covers, or flat black
imo

how long did it take you to take it off?

[DJ]

I'm going to try to polish it myself and see how it turns out ,if it looks good i'll do the throttle bodies aswell and some other bits.It's going to take a while but I have all winter..

Franki ,it took me about an hour to take it off the manifold ,some of the hoses and rear bolts were giving me some troubles...

I gotta get my bumper painted...

[frankiman]

that was fast..

the bumper looks like an N1 replica with integrated lip

how much did it cost you, if you don't mind me asking.. and how is the fitment?

[DJ]

It's a genuine Trust gracer bumper ,I can't remember how much I paid for it but i got a good deal off Martin.They retail for like 1000$!! thats crazy..

fitment is really good ,the bumper is not fully mounted in the pics.

[frankiman]

you lucky soab

[DJ]

I miss my N1 bumper though...

[frankiman]

wanna trade....

[DJ]

Lol let me paint it first then I'll see how much I like it .I wanted to maintain that stock look for the bumper but be different aswell ..

this bumper does look good on white cars...

[frankiman]

might as well paint it white right away then :wink::wink:

[DJ]

my first priority now is to get this god damn car back on the road by spring,i'll drive with a half blue half flat black painted bumper.1 year and 1/2 that she hasn't been on the road..

I like..
