I've put about an hour into one wheel so far, and its turning out pretty good. I'll post some pics & directions once I'm done.

Matt6003 09-10-2005 10:07 PM

come on guys... i picked up my trashed MKIV wheels for $400.... granted, refinishing them was $300 and tires were another $500 just for the rears, but thats besides the point...

the only way make em look good is to paint em darker gray

Enraged 09-11-2005 01:57 PM

well my front end is all back together, looks sweet with the bright red calipers :) so now its just the fuel system, mount the IC, finish the FFI, and build some hardpipes. im ordering the bends in the next day or two, so if anyone wants aluminum bends let me know.

ryan: i want my afm back, and you can pick up your stickers. oh ya, and i need that t fitting, let me know what you want for it.

matt: come get your speakers and your stickers

anyone else who wanted stickers: come get them.

After painting Craig's sawblades a gunmetal grey, I think it clashed too much with the car/tires. I don't think I'd paint my rims a dark color unless my car was white. Even then, I'm a fan of polish/chrome.

Going out to polish more.

Matt6003 09-11-2005 06:48 PM

yeah i'd like to try the polished ones, but maybe i'll paint the other set a dark gray

islandsupra 09-11-2005 06:59 PM

Hey Toby I think I will be down there this weekend, probaly thursday night and friday night - if you aren't working then I can come over and grab those sticker and the n/a valve covers if you still got em.

Enraged 09-11-2005 08:52 PM

ya, im usually home by 6pm.

my wheels are gunmetal powdercoat with clear, it looks wicked with the burgandy, especially with the bright red calipers...

islandsupra 09-11-2005 09:07 PM

Matt6003 09-11-2005 09:09 PM

Reuben gimme a call when you're down here, and i could swing by too on friday to pick up my speakers toby

Enraged 09-11-2005 09:53 PM

just sunday nights at the pizza place, working 8:30-5 at the engineering place until school starts, then just part time.

why do all the coolest gauges always have to be expensive... i can afford to but one blitz blm gauge, or 3 megan gauges... bah... oh ya, got the new ebrake handle on, looks cool, but doesnt match my big chrome ball shifter...

arturiusma7 09-12-2005 04:52 PM

:werd: aint it the truth...

arturiusma7 09-12-2005 08:53 PM

yea but its fucking gay, the car was mint, then just BAM fucked all in one day. this fucking sux.

islandsupra 09-12-2005 10:12 PM

don't worry dude, you'll end up fixing it and you'll regret it and love it at the same time. It's just the way it seems to go (well, the smart ones bail out early lol).

And I know about the feeling that it used to be in good shape, My car used to be awesome.... and I spun a rod bearing with less than 70,000 original miles and had to replace the engine last summer... like I say, just seems to be the way she goes.
Hopefully it's not that bad though dude.

I'm also pretty sure I'm gonna pop my headgasket soon. hopefully it'll last till winter so I can park it and fix it lol.
