xxscaxx Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 yeah lol, sorry for not clearing that up. its a rough estimate of how much lower the shifter is now. i cant really show how short the actual shifts are so thats my best explanation for u lol. everything goes back together monday. i have to wait for my new uppipe/manifold gasket. then, everything should be fine. there was some leakage coming out of the o2 sensor spot too because i couldnt get the o2 sensor back in right, but i bought a o2 socket today and got that sucker in there perfect.

CRG7 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Since this thread doesn't have many pages left until it gets closed due to size, could everyone please stop wasting space in sca's thread with the p/w'ing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 ohhh snap. soo big it has to be shut down! lol. you tell em CRG. sorry Lina..better? its actually funny because the other day i catered with my mom (what i do when im not at my other job) and they had the party for their daughters sweet 16 and her name was lina. lol she had temporary tatoos that said i S2 Lina Bean. so i put one on my forearm hahaha. but as for my car... i walked out to my car today to just put back the heat shield on and the skid plate.. and what do i see on the ground... my stupid downpipe/turbo gasket. so i had to take off the downpipe AGAIN. but after that, i threw back on the heatshield and skid plate, changed my oil, and now im good to go :-) new exhaust gasket is coming wednesday i believe, and i also re-did the wiring on my Defi gauges today, since when i did them i did it the quick way and it wasnt done right. so as for now, my car is DONE till the tune. phew. called chris from XX today and he confirmed that it would be ok to drive 2 hours on that base map, since i was worried about that lol. so my next question is...what should i do next? i have decided that im going to do all red interior (well i hope, i really want bride everything but its really REALLY expensive), and i want the chargespeed kit for my car. maybe new rims? ahh so many choices. some sways? ay yi yi lol.

xxscaxx Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 next gasket in, all finished! what do you guys think of me painting my stock wheels this color? i think this looks awesome and im very tempted. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2365823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I like the color. Not so sure about spray painting them, but I suppose if you take your time and then seal them after then you wouldn't have a problem. The guy I bought the sol from had spray painted the rims silver the day before we bought it, in the course of the 1200 mile return trip home through 10 hours of rain the silver had turned to gray and several quarter sized chunks had come of of each cap. Thats why I am wary of spray painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The Gunmetal would look way better. I'd say get some Duplicolor Wheel spraypaint.. i used it on my valve cover and it's doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Everyone knows you need red rims on a white car. If you paint your rims red..I'll personally come to your door and beat your ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 what is your name? so I won't say "sca"...and wow, she stole my name! jk or should we call you the future famous guitarist/singer!! I'm glad there is more progress with your car everyday...it looks and is a monster as for rims, I think your current rims make your car original...everyone has gunmetal or red or white or whatever...I saw this one scion tc all fixed up and with GOLD RIMS...and painted brakes...good thing he didn't write Brembo on it...so not the car! and on top of that, the kid has a "I Honda" sticker on the window!! I was insulted! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 the names joe lol. thanks, i mean i must admit, i love my gold rims, but its time for a change. its just not the direction i am going anymore, i originally wanted new golds but now with the hood and everything, like it was pointed out a darker color will just suit it better. and actually, painting the stockers and not getting new rims would be more original since everyone just buys new rims lol, and also my car came stock with the golds so its not too original if you get what im saying. i still haven't decided, im wondering if it will be too much of a PITA to paint them and if i f*ck it up ill be real pissed lol. but i think it would look better. billy - yeah i was going to pick up the same stuff that guy used on his sti. and no, no red rims for me lol. that would look uberrrr gay.
