Ok so let me tell you guys about my ride. it was orginally a N/A. its a 2+2.
I started out with the howe rad and spal fan, But i bought it for turbo model because i knew I would be doing a swap later when i got all my parts. then i bought new trans and rps flywheel and clutch,Then Ur pulleys, I did brake upgrades first. followed by suspension. Then i did the power plant I wanted to handle the power and be able to stop. Also i got roturas on order for aditional stoping power.i cant upload the pictures at the molent some troubles are acuring so please be patiant thanks

noway. i already bought toe arms. thats to much works for somthing that will break later on anyway hicas is known for over steer problems when they go bad, also its not good for a car with solid subframe bushings and traction arms you need the eliminator to use everything properly

so ill tell you guys about how I made my baby seamless I used about 25 tubes of norton speed grip and glued everything first. I also used it on the back bumper as a filler because its super strong and I know it wont crack. so after i did that I did a light filler to level out everything on the back bumper. for the side skirts I pop rivited it and glued it on along with glass putty followed by light filler then polyester filler for the pin holes. Then I used and hs fill surface primer. I only used top notch products on my car. I sanded for days in and out till it was perfect to my specs. ill be back to talk about ti more in 2 hours guys hope you like my ride!!!

Yeah my heads come assembled. The block i got from the shop for 150 more to have that assembled so I went and did that. I have changed my motor a couple of time already so it should not be a problem.
i need some help tho im polishing my 2 master cyinders (clutch and brakes) but does the res come off the brake master? it looks like i could get it off. I dont want to try unless i get some opiouns on taking it off here are some pictures any ways. damm it man i cant find my mandrel for my toosie rolls! ahh i can't get those tight spots till i find it.

Ok guys I got a question I got new chrome water pipes with new sensors. ok so I have aftermarket gauge. Really dont want to drill a nother hole. so my idea was to put a resistor inline with the wire for my temp gauge in the dash, so when I start the car it will go up to temp right away then when my car is off it will go back down, then use the hole for my new gauge. what do yah guys think? i found the proper resitor to bring the gauge on my dash up at the right spot so it does not look like im over heating

I can't return it tho so im stuck with it now. I think it will ook way better when painted I think it will flow better. it was also only taped on the car. I just hate tall wings. I want a low profile wing that is killer.

i dont care for tall wings at all. i guess it is mostly the little "winglets" on the ends that turn me off.

polish the doolz intake also unless you planned on it already, also your gonna paint the car with the engine out yes? if you werent id rethink that. looks cleaner with a shiny matching engine bay. and use the word "ride" less lol. sorry it is just akward to me.

well my Z i was planing on paint the engine bay gloss black with chrome parts, and chrome and polish master clinders and hard lines,water lines, and so on. I want to do that so my powerplant will stand out. im deffently polishing the doolz, should i get hks super mega fitlers or JWT or the new dry technoligy from AEM witch are smaller to save me some space. im also painting the base coat then sanding it for a better finsh for the kandy then top coat

im not completely understanding this. are you wanting to install the aftermarket sensor in the stock sensor spot and then run a resistor to the dash to make the needle move still?

Yeah I want the needle to go back up again. It will **** me off if I see it always on cold, and if I glue it in place it will look stupid so the other option is to put a resitor inline where it plugs in to the sensor on the water pipe so it goes up every time you start the car. so ill use the sport in the water pipe for my new senor for my colbolt gauge

i have over 5000 resitors, multipule selections out the wazoo. i builld my own circuit boards for fun and make cool stuff, the reason i want to do that is because i dont want a nother sensor on my pipes. 1 reason because im hiding all my wires under the hood and mainly because a 3rd senor would ruin the look
