Re: Ned's 91 GSX

May as well get the sawzall out if you're going FMIC. That hole will need a good digging out.

Keep it up!

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I want to cut the hole now but I want it to be in the perfect spot and I don't know where that it is. Maybe with some searching I will find something.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Next thing to get is some good radiator hoses. Don't want to spend a fortune but lookin for something good/attractive looking. I want them to be black but with the brand in white lettering on it. But look sporty of course. Any suggestions?

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Samco sport makes nice colored silicone hoses. Thats the direction I would go. But then of course if you wanted to you could buy some knockoff's. I think OBX makes some Samco look-a-likes.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Lando, this is more directed towards you. A few days ago we were talking about radiator shrouds and here's one I found on ebay, its for a performance radiator but i'm sure one can be fabricated for a stock radiator with fans.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

So thinking about what color to paint the car whenever it is that I do it. Any ideas?

So far possible color schemes
White/Black w/ black rims
Dark Gunmetal/Black w/ Gunmetal rims
Burnt Orange/Black hood, top, and spoiler w/ black rims

I don't think my car has the right lines for burnt orange and not sure if white is the color I really want to go with. any thoughts/suggestions?

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Well.....burnt orange...got played out pretty quick in my opinion. Plus its more of a lowrider color than a DSM.

Also....white looks good on anything....just keep that in mind.

I like the color the car is now. Kittay's car looks great in that color.
If you want to make it stand outa little, you may can get the guy that mixes your paint to modify the stock color some. Add some metal flake, etc, etc (I can paint but I know nothing about mixing/modifying paint, or making it look fancy).

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

It's a clean install, will also be really easy to drain. Might make a small shield for the left side of it because debris may blow through the side mount cooler shield and hit the level indicator on the catch can. When I get the FMIC and FPR, I'm taking a couple days vaca off work so I can do the install and do whatever adjustments in link that needs to be done.
