car in primer

i got bored during the primer process and this is what it ended up as, finally running and able to be driven out of the garage

of course it rained 15 minutes later and i moved it back inside

god plz paint the car black....that camo is so fucking gay

[landins13]

the car is getting painted this weekend but i figured for 3 days i could have some fun

[Jgrand03]

that paint looks horrendous im sorry

[s13drob]

did u paint the left side of ur block only? good job cept thangs stated^^^^^^ haha. but i like the intercooler paintjob.. +111111111

[DataXUnknown]

rockin' the brown interior, i like it

good build. hope the paint turns out well.

[landins13]

the whole block is neon green lol i have serious add problems and i got really really bored waiting for certain parts to come in so i painted random stuff. when its done ill post pics of my headliner its the most random thing ever but i think its funny and its my car so who really gives a ish yah know. the car only has 1 seat so its not like anyone else has to be seen in it with me.

and as far as the camo goes, im painting the car this weekend, but im just gonna tell people that since i work in the city i needed a better security system, and what works better than not being able to see the car.

[CrazyTrance]

wth brown interior. not sure i like that lol. otherwise get some paint and your good!

[landins13]

at one point i was going to ditch the brown but i havent seen that many 240's with it, and its kinda grown on me but the car is gonna end up being midnight blue pearl, so blue/tan/black/brown go decent, this is more of a track car than anything else so what it looks like doesnt matter that much to me. ive always been more show than go anyways.

[s13drob]

i think u mean more go than show. rite?

[DUSANMANDIC]

get rid of those wheels 14s need to burn dude

[HS13KLS]

i dunno about those wheels..i read about those..i believe they are real light...but i always heard your never supposed to go to a smaller rim size than stock.
and yes..PLEASE paint it black...

other than that. seems like its a good build keep up updated

[CA18_S13]

Nice build so far want to see finished paint and I would get some 15's at least like some Swaztikas or Some Reverse Meshies. The SR swap looks nicely done.

[IIIXziuR]

I think 15's would be the very minimum to run on a S-Car but I think you should at least upgrade to 16"

14" is too small, IMO

[landins13]

ive got 15's 16's 17's and 18's for the car, but the 14's weigh 8 lbs so they are staying.

[McRussellPants]

but the 14's weigh 8 lbs so they are staying.

and the only tire you can use is a 195/60/14 hahaha.

you realize your car will be so much faster with 17s on it and not poboy tire?

wheel weight doesn't matter.

[blueshark123]

Dude ur intercooler piping off the turbo seems like its gonna slip the fuck off. What turbo is that please dont tell me its an ebay type. Please get something better to tune ur car with.

[landins13]

the turbo is a precision gt30 50 trim it came off a friend of mines civic hatch when he flipped it. and before that it was on another civic hatch that consistently runs 10's since i got it i rebuilt it and replaced the seals so its a good turbo, no shaft play, ball bearing, i spooled it on a stock motor at about 4000rpm and went 12.8 with it on street tire. where im living now its all about 1/4 mi
when i go to the track ive got a set of widend 15" stealies with mickey thompson et streets, ive also got a set of 15" stealies with bfg t/a drag radials, the 14 were because ive never seen them before and when i looked them up on the rarity scale they supposedly dont exist.

i need to get a solid elbow made to go to the turbo, but im a full time college student so everything is about $$ and i have to wait till i can afford it.

i appreciate the imput though.

[landins13]

and the only tire you can use is a 195/60/14 hahaha.

i just re-read that and it made me giggle, unfortuntally i am a poboy and until i can afford pretty things and sticky tires i gotta deal with what ive got.

[landins13]

i think u mean more go than show. rite?
yeah, i wasnt even thinking. thanks for pointing that out.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

Looks like Christmas under your hood, is that red tape on the valve cover?

Car looks like you mean business.

its actually floresent pink paint, it got messed up, but like i said i get bored and do some random things to that car, when im done with it the valve cover is going to look like a watermellon lol, i did it in an attempt that when i race, if i do ever pop hood there is so much color that no one will be able to focus on the turbo. just pop and drop all theyll see is green and pink

[reccakun08]

nice to see a fellow MD'er with a 240

[landins13]

nice to see a fellow MD'er with a 240

i live near baltimore, i role around with 3 s13's 1 s14 and a nismo gtr32 skyline.
no one is slower than 12.8

ive gotta pull the motor again so for everyone who hates the paint, its gonna be around for a little longer.

[pEcHeP]

I like the green valve cover atleast.

[layinlowCA]

that camo is retarded but everything else looks good, sorry to hear you gotta pull the motor, just do what you gotta do and take pics for us PLZZZZZ

[TURBOMAN]

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll192/landins13/s13/watermellontop.jpgHow's the Maf Reading? too close to the turbo.

[landins13]

it reads fine,surprisingly, im going with the apexipower fc djetro so i wont being using a maf anyways

[burnsauto]

good god paint that engine another color. my eyes are throwing up.:barf:

you've still got a long way to go (not talking about adding MORE parts, talking about all the problems in the future that this setup is going to have...you'll be doing quite a bit of tweaking.)
