thanks man...just wait until you see the color..i hope it comes out looking like I think it will..just think signal auto s15

as for motor sr all the way man...i got the lowly one cam wonder in there now with about 170k miles and its about the same price to do a kat as an sr. I thought about the rb but its more hassle for what i want powerwise(about 275 at the wheels is good enough for me) more and more are doing the rb swaps since a few companies have started offering kits to install them and some rb20's and 25's can be had fairly cheap compaired to the sr. well i gotta run on..

Later
Gray

Agreed! I got the body kit fitted but that's where I stopped!

I want to do mine white and black, but need more practice with white before screwing up a rare kit

well, i know you've all been waiting anxiousley (especially Ryan), so here's another update (finally!) now that i've got that pesky history ISU done and over with.

first off, my 2 wheels choices.

first is the set of 16" BBS RS that came with the kit. good quality for Fujimi, and i'd be painting the centres gold.

secondly, Aoshima 18" Advan RG. i'd leave them gold, but these would require me to have to convert the wheels from male to female.

and here's some pics of the first mist coat of TS-39 Mica Red that i applied tonight. came out alot more red than i thought it would, but maybe it will dry darker. can anyone with experience with this color let me know how it turns out?

sorry about the blurry-ness of the wheel pics. it's late and i was hurrying so i could get to bed quicker.

more updates as i make more progress. i'll most likely start on the interior and put another coat of paint on the body tomorrow. enjoy!

I believe Pman's PT cruiser was painted mica red (in the gallery).

It looks great! Love the color. I think the RG's would definately suit the car the best. Gold & Red make a nice mix.

Hmmm, Brian, wouldn't be better if you lifted the body slightly on something so that the paint can get to the undersides to when you spray? Just wondering

Other than that, glad to see the SilEighty coming along

you're right, Ray. i plan to make a coat-hanger apparatus for the next coats. this coat was just the very first one, just to get the very first paint on the car.

Nice to see this project come along!

It's weird seing a thread you have made that include pics in them.

I better get used to it.

Weren't you working on another S13, a blue one?

TURBO_EK4 · #44 06-04-2003, 03:34 PM

I think the Advans would look soooooo hot on that beast.

yep, you're right. i was. and still am...but since it took me so long to finally find a Sileighty, as soon as i got it, i HAD to start working on it. the S13 will be finished soon enough, don't worry.
