Dude. That sucks man. Well, um, shit (searches brain for inspiring "go get'em tiger" speech), nope no luck there. Ahah, got it. Don't give up. Two bottles of Simple Green, some Armor-all, a drill powered wire brush, and a little elbow grease will put the needle on your bling gauge back in the green. Trust me, I know all about paint damage. Take up Paul's offer on the tuning and see if you can get it right. Wasn't it fun at 9 psi? Obviously anything goes in this thread. It's pretty much the Speedfoos/FoSho/Skipbarber Turbo Show - Shocking Pictures Brought to You by Alpha5. But I completely understand about the build creep and headaches these things can cause. Hell I haven't even started the damn car yet and I've already hit problem after problem. Besides if it continues smelling like 7-11, just put a Slurpee machine in the trunk. May as well get some benefit out of it.

Let me see if I can inject some pics for this quote.

But whatever do you mean?

No squeezing the juice!

Matt, I know you said you're undersexed, but you shouldn't wear boxers that advertise the cobwebs around your disused man parts. That last pic is a classic though!

Disused man parts, Why you gotta be bringing up old shit? LOL

I agree with the last pic as well.

I am going to go set in the corner and feel sorry for myself now.
Thanks,

I also found this quote, I thought it was pretty good.

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

[speedfoos]

Hmmmm. I'm in the process of taking something away from car right now. VB bux to who gets it right..... don't spend them all in one place...

[speedfoos]

Ya'll must have lives or jobs or something. No Vb Bux for anyone. Yeah I know only an hour has passed. I multi-task. I taped off the mirrors while I was on the phone yapping with Paul from dezod. SRT-4 clips are on the way!


I went by the local breaker yard today (no they didn't have a single Honda, so no UKDM tails still) and was able to get the wiring clips to mount up my side repeaters - I used the clips from a Rover. Now I'm just waiting for my wife to come home with a new jigsaw blade so I can cut holes in my fenders.

I will be going back to stock mirrors, since I have real (and can finally install) UKDM Honda side reps. Now I know what everyone is thinking. "Why 'foos?! Did NASA recall them? M3 mirrors are the bomb!" etc., etc... In spite of the overwhelming amount of positive feedback I always get on them, they've got to go. They will also be going in the post-turbo sale.

Anyway, I dusted off the stockers, roughed up the factory paint, mixed up my custom Hammerite to match the color of the rest of the car, and shot 'em!




Now this what I call being hung....




Yeah I know. my garage is messy again. I just can't keep good help around to clean up after me.

So here's the primed results.




And the finished color-matched results. Bang. They've been shot.




I know. It doesn't look much different than the primer coat, but that's the camera not the paint. I'll give them a couple coats of clear tomorrow and then mount them up along with the repeaters.

My welder swears he will have my exhaust finished Sunday..... We'll see.

[FoSho]

Foos, well I really don't like that idea of the oil filter sandwich plate. It scares me. I'd rather keep my oil filter as close to my block as possible. Plus the welding was $20....can't beat that. I just hope she doesn''t leak around the threads. I can only use 1 rap of tape since it uses a ground through the sensor.

P.S How hard was your battery relocate....I'm thinkin about i

[speedfoos]

Just put a little RTV gasket sealer around the very end of the threads before you tighten it down that last couple revolutions. Then you'll be sure it won't leak. It's what I did on my catch can nipple.

Battery relocate was really easy. I used 4 gauge power wire (from an amp install kit) and ran it from where the original positive cable came out of the wire loom, in through the firewall - there are like 3 places already suitable, you should know where they are from doing your gauges - then I ran it back underneath the carpet of the center console into the trunk compartment.

You only have to jerk out the center console, one of the front seats, the bottom of the back seat and some interior molding in order to pull the carpet back. I ran the ground to a piece of the frame, back in the trunk. Too easy.

What is with the new AVATAR?

[speedfoos]

LOL! It was under some old image cache I stumbled across on Google. Got a bunch of weird stuff. Here's the full-on image. It just goes to show that a bigger brain does not mean smarter person. It's called "Cat Scratch Fever".

And for posterity's sake, the sig I made and briefly rocked. It was my avvie too!

[Alpha 5]

That is disturbing!!!!

[speedfoos]

Woohoooo!!!! I finally creeped Matt out with one of my pics!!! I didn't think it was possible!! Rep for me!!! Crap. I can't rep myself. Oh well.

[Alpha 5]

I did not know that it was a competition.

But I would rep if I could....Like either one of us needs it. LOL

[Jza]

I wish my wife would pick me up jigsaw blades.

[speedfoos]

Don't get your hopes up, mine didn't get them. Gotta go to the store myself tomorrow now. Refer to post #337 on page 23....
