sry i have more pics but its a bitch to make them less than 80k and i gotta go deliver my car tmrw so i gotta go prep it some more, more pics to come

haha, yeah sure, *ahem* "accidently" uploaded it as you *ahem* "accdently" took a picutre of her picture? ;-). But, atleast i can see why you gave up racing. Get your fuses back in there;-). I'm about to paint my car black and the interior styled red. I'll post it up as i get money to actually start the beast to be...though the guy who's teaching me looovveesss his MOPAR and thinks that the thing is garbage.

yea i just dropped my car off this morning to get painted, the said it should only take about a day or so... but i took the pic and just uploaded the first half the pictures i took and didnt notcie she was in there, but yea shes the reason why i stopped everything...

cant wait to get it back and show pics, theres a reaon why the fuse box isnt there hence the wink ;) ull see in the time coming, but yea gotta love the look of the car withouhgt all those gay side stripping and rubber shit, they look like crap on the car

Nice pics.. looks like you might be needing some tires soon! Is that a fuse box in the bottom left corner of the pic?

haha to tell u the truth those tires only have about 6000 miles on them, there just all torn up from mountain runs and stuff, and nope, not there either , can enyone spot it ???

haha to tell u the truth those tires only have about 6000 miles on them, there just all torn up from mountain runs and stuff

Ouch!! That's gotta hurt.. I'm gonna need new tires soon.. but I have like 20k or so on mine.

That looks just like a fuse box in the bottom left corner.. what is that thing?.. I've only looked at a couple 4afe's.. but never thought to check out where the fuse box is.

thtas the headlight fuses, im talking abotu the main fuse box it should be connected to my battery, over there on the right side

ur right tho that is another fuse box so yea theres the big ass main one and tat little one in the bottem right, im talin about the min one tho

u know what i hate nowadyas tho is reverse mounted manifolds, i HATE having the intke manifold on the front and the headers in the back

u know what i hate nowadyas tho is reverse mounted manifolds, i HATE having the intke manifold on the front and the headers in the back


Yeah, I see what you mean.. it's a BITCH to get to the header.. I know from experience with my car. But if you think about it.. it kind of makes sense. Air comes from front and engine spits out exhaust through the back..

i see you two have been having fun while i was at school or sleeping, or at school sleeping. This being my first car, i had no idea if the tires were bad...wow, i totally missed that. I think i just did my first thousand miles a week or two ago. :-P. Who is doing your paint job and how much is it costing? I forgot what color its going to be.

Oh, newbie question: If you take off the rubber stripping, doesn't that make your car more prone to damage? I know that some people hated the bubble look the 90-93 celicas got, but i mean, i'd rather have the stripping if it protects my car rather than have to constantly paint it.

Anyways, i guess we'll see the car in 2 days or so- whenever you decide to come back home from driving around with your new paint job and decide to upload those pics.

the tread isnt that bad its the fact that the contact paht on the outside and inside of the tires is all worn down becuase of taking turns at a fast speed, plus there cuts that vip probly saw, a buncha lil tears in em from taking turn realy fast a only 30 psi in the tires...if you dont know at 30 psi your contact path for the tire is greater than at 35 but they wear alot quicker

yes the stipping on the quarter panels in essence could protet you from peeople hitting ur car but how often do you park next to someone where they have a door that can be opened on the namel instead of ur door? also the striipind along the car is utterly worthless, as with most cars its too low to do anything at all, if a door is opened it will hit about a foot above the stripping not the stripping itself, so yea

and im getting it done at a place named miracle and no i am not getting a shitty paintjob like i once perdicted, i know a friend that works there so i got the original factory color but i added metalic flakes and ened up getting a pearlescent paintjob :) from factory to silverstone, and all total it was $900 after i did all the priming and body work, but im only paying $300, i pay for no labor just materials because jesus owes me for ehlping him swap a 1.8 into his jetta (nickname haha dont worry) so yea and i get it tmrw morning and im just putting it there today, oh yea and its not a clear coat/paint mix its paint then paint then 2 coats of clear

so yea ill try and get pics tmrw but if not deff by wednesday, haha im going pic crazy right now becuase i have my firewire so ive been taking pics of EVERYTHING, haha even got one of a viper GTSR

oh yea u cant tell cuz the original pic was black and white but it was the grayish gunmetal color before and thats what im getting again i think the code is #186 for it
