Agreed, but would a C6 Corvette be as cool as it clearly is if it was about 3 or 4 different colors? I think not...

Don't paint it, it's a harlequin evo 3, they only made a few of them.

Honestly I wouldn't give two shits about it. I'll take a tri-colored c6, not gonna bug me..lol. Yea cars that look nice are cool, but if I'm blowing the doors off one of the pretty cars in a quad colored car, makes it all the better.

Can't disagree with you there my friend, it's just the that tkr can paint his own shit... that is what chaps my ass.

From the couple times I've met mark, I'm pretty sure he's one of those people who would rather take their time with something they have been working on for so long. I'm sure getting the car as mechanically perfect as possible is a little more important, than the way it looks at the moment. I don't think that car is going anywhere anytime soon, so why not take some time to make it as perfect as possible. Paint doesn't effect driveability, and I'd take a mechanically sound car over a pretty princess painted car.

Forced Fed · 08-20-2009

See, that is were we disagree. I would take his Mirage with the stock motor all painted up pretty with his Evo III body kit panels before I would take it as it sits now...

Constant_Project21 · 08-20-2009

That's fine, everyone has their own preferences. Not gonna change my mind by trying have the last word after everything I say and putting cool smilies after your explanations. Enough thread jacking, cars awesome mark, who needs their car to be one color anyways?

Forced Fed · 08-20-2009

Sorry those "cool smilies" were suppose to be me being sarcastic... Guess that back fired on me, anyways you're right, enough thread jacking!

Yes, Mark and I are able to paint his car, but the main problem is we don't have anywhere to paint it. This car is gonna be a freaking beast once this new setup is all together, hopefully within the next couple days!

TkrPerformance · 08-24-2009

waited to after the cook out for the new set up pic's. did not want to give it all away before hand.

also a huge thanks to John for making the v-band flange for the down pipe and redoing my upper out let on the radiator for the 2nd time so it would clear all the way.

also got 2nd at the cook out for the 2nd year in a row. mabe next year it will be painted

Constant_Project21 · 08-24-2009

That's a sick setup, nice work mark.

**scheides** · 08-24-2009

Fix the smoke screen problem and that setup should kick some arse

FattyBoomBatty · 08-24-2009

Yeah, I had to get out in front there so I wouldn't overfill my engine with your oil.

TkrPerformance · 08-24-2009

Ya I know all about it the turbo was just slaped together to get the car there and back. I will be taken back off and be finnished up soon so I can drive it with out it smoking. I still have to put in the new chip,1600cc,and e85 on my weekend. I will also be rebuilding th down pipe so I can take it out in 2 pices.

A//// Guy · 08-24-2009

What was smoking? I saw that too. haha

Kevin 1G Drummer · 08-24-2009

His turbo was just kinda thrown together so that he could make it to the cookout so my guess is that oil was blowing by the seals since it's not fully balanced.

**goodhart** · 08-24-2009

Maybe I missed it, but what are your power goals with that monster on there?

craig · 08-24-2009

500 to 600ish

**goodhart** · 08-24-2009

I was guessing 600-650ish, I guess we'll see once it gets tuned! good luck the thing looks awesome
