4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010

[4g63tcrazy]

Put the bumper on today. It's not as shiny as the original paint but it still looks nice. I think it needs a clear coat but the guy at Carquest said I can't use a clear on it? I also finished running the rest of the harness inside the car and put all the panels back together, waxed the rest of the engine bay to match the shiny firewall and a few other little things.

Pics of bumper. (I know it's crooked in the pic but I did straighten it out)

My timing belt and BS elimator showed up today which is amazing since I ordered it Friday. I also got an aluminum radiator on the way now. :)

This car is really nice. It looks really clean. i Love The Red and Black Color Combination under the hood. Personally im starting to go with Black and grayish silver look.

^^Thanks!

Time for another cell phone pic update.

I prepped my block surface and installed the L19 headstuds. I then started taking everything apart for the balance shaft eliminator kit. All I need to do is pick up my gaskets from MAP and the balance shafts will be done.

My car has never been so apart all at one time. I feel like I have a LONG ways to go before it gets back together. Hopefully I don't run into too many problems and everything goes back together nicely.

I know the feeling man.

Picked up most of the gaskets I need so I can start putting the front case back on. Got some supertech valve stem seals and dropped them off at Primo. I have the day off tomorrow so I'll probably get the BS elimation done and maybe start the wiring for my fans.

You're gonna do the BS elim in the car? Sounds like a pain in the ass.

I think you should clear that bumper.

[4g63tcrazy]

Yes I'm doing it in the car. I already have it done just need to put it all back together. It's not fun at all sitting in the wheel well for hours at a time..

I don't know what I'm gonna do with the bumper yet. I think it needs a clear too.

[4g63tcrazy]

Little update.

I got the BS elimation completely done. The car is just sitting there waiting for a head to be put back on it. Hopefully that will be done Tuesday..

In the back of my mind I have been pondering the idea of getting new rims. New rims as in a nice set of 16" wheels so I can put some meaty tires on and have more traction then my 18's. I looked on craigslist for a couple months and never saw anything good. Then it hit me.. What about FD RX7 wheels? Light, 16's, wide. PERFECT.

So I searched the classifieds and Lor (turboimports) actually had a set for sale! So I scooped those up from him today. :)

The plan is to repaint them. But still keep them black. Then put on some 235/55r16's - 245/50r16's not quite sure yet. And more than likely some 10mm spacers.

They're going to look sick on there. I wish I had some FD rims...
