:also i been thinking very hard about my spacers, but after all the hard work put into these rims
i am considering looking for wider ones to avoid huge spacers..

Congratulations on the projectors. Per the wheels, I'd go for a light 17x8, or an even lighter 16x7.

I could never get a pretty box from HonkKong !

just recieved at work

LMAAAAAAAO ! ^^^

I was very similar to this !


TAILS =)

now to find out how to install..
hopefully its not like my projectors where the entire bumper must come off ?

WHAT DO WANT FROM ME!?

Lmaaaaoooo sorry box didn't mean to shout you out like that !!

True or false ? Usdm lights has an extra bulb ??? Or am I losing it ??

True. If you didn't get the JDM harness, just unplug the extra bulb from your USDM harness and tuck the extra plug out of the way.

It's for the side-marker light you're legally required to have.

So as we wine down to nearly 3 weeks left
for which has been for me the most anticipating
6gc reunion event, ive decided to do some cleaning
and work on some simple and quick projects.

1: Now that i have jdm heads n tails i feel like my car has went from a 95" to a 2007"
heres a pic, dont mind the horrible rear camber settings.



2: So i realized how insecure i was with the interior
of my car because the main rug was so dirty and stain and BEIGE but luckily
no tears or rips in it, i decided to pull it out and power wash the
hell out of it. After rinsing it, it was clean but still stained...
Now What....? OK, Lets paint this thing black !


as u can see this thing was YUCKIEEEE !



Pulled:



Before:



progress:







and after it was all done with the use of 4 cans and i shouldve went with 5
this was the result:









3: If u guys remember i was having problems with my 7a,...
so in case you are about to reach 200k
like i was and have a rattling sounds while driving, i would get it
fixed ASAP before it gets worst and dies like mine ! so yes,
my 7a finally gave on me... and in 2 weeks i put so many miles
in my frs just debating on this 1mz swap
(thanks to : kurt95gt, smaay, mkernz22 and box for helpful info)
knowing i would have to fight a war with time to complete it just in time
for R.I ! i knew i didnt have the right ANYTHING to make this happen
so soon. So i had to go out and quickly buy another 7a for a quick
and easy job to get my DD back on the road. and so i succesfully
got it replaced and it driving better and stronger than ever with a
7a at 78K miles.
Sooooooo, having an extra valve cover i decided to continue to rely
on spray bottle for a solution in style ! lol
Lets paint this baby RED !

here it is all power washed and just lightly sanded:



sorry forgot to take a primer pics,
but here it is with 4 light coats.
no clear coat, a few tutorial i viewed
didnt use clear for prolly safety issues, idk.







i will post pics as soon as i put this baby in

4. i have one more little interior project im currently working on
and hopefully its done befor the meet. i want to surprise u guys with it,
prolly isnt so exciting for some but i cant wait to finish!


Hope u guys enjoyed the upgrades !

looking great!

Yay for having another JDM sexy 3L2 twin!

I can't wait to see this car, and take pictures with it, at the meet!

I love the color of the carpet... What kind of spray did you use?

thanks guys,..

keiri: your car is just so much cooler, cant wait for this meet

Nihil: honestly i was pretty impressed myself with the outcome
to this carpet, i jus wanted to get rid of stains and it all worked out
pretty well. Thanks

i used 4 can of:
Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric
HVP104 - Gloss Black

had some time yesterday after work

Valve cover is excellent. That radiator looks like it's about to die. Time for a front strut bar. Matrix, Solara, Corolla center caps fit the tC wheel. 2.25", and they're about $22 shipped.

yes, agree with it all,where can i get a decent radiator, which brand to buy and which to stay away from ? .
and thanks for the center caps fitment, i didnt know that !

Most of the aftermarket radiators are good choices but most everyone recommends Koyo or Mishimoto for upgraded rads. I just got a standard, OEM style radiator from RockAuto.com when I had my engine rebuilt - my old radiator (with ~162k miles) looked a lot likes yours does now.

hey keiri can u plz post a pic, if u have one ?

thanks for the info

I don't have any pictures of the radiator before the installation but it was this one:



Spectra Premium CU1575.

Got it for $99 shipped last year after a 5% off coupon.
