at least your not screwing some 30 year old that kills cupcakes and tries to pay you off with a wannabe job.

What kind of wheels are those on your car? I'm liking them. My Z31 could use a nice set of wheels.

rota P45r they are 17x9 i need some more tire bought the rims with the tires. 235 im thinking 255

Damn son, this is hella gay. I can't believe you aren't done yet. Sheeeeeesh ya'll

well some of us have to work full time jobs and overtime. ;)

I work full time along with school after and flight in between all that. And I'm trying to force myself to the gym after all that, but I just get so tired, and it's getting in the way of me banging hotties now haha. I just sleep all night instead of stayin up like i used to. This blows. And I gotta re-re-paint my bumpers on my S2000 cause the paint store didn't look up the alternate paint for my year and the shading is off. BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

that sucks to hear. You put a urethane adhesive for that bumper before you paint or a good sealer?

Yup. Initially used the original paint as a base coat just sander well. Worked fine till last coat of clear the base cracked. So ressnded n applied a urethane sealer then painted. Just to find the paint didn't match. Now spent 170 bucks ona quart of matched paint n clear as well as reducers and activator. Ugh. **** painting. LOL and the paint storeat napa for not using the model year of my s2000 and getting the associated alternate paint code like they should have to start with. Cocks

Live and learn buddy ..... Just keep sniffing the paint

I didn't learn a whole lot, except to read PDS's because they are awesome. lol. other than that, also to not trust paint stores and ride their asses to make sure shit gets done right the first time. otherwise i did nothing wrong. and the reason i say to read the product data sheet, cause i has great info on spraying and flash times and coat types (which i guessed all right luckily the first time) but it did say not to use and wax/grease remover between coats, only on the primered surface or preping for primer, and to just rube down with a micro fiber cloth inbetween. and i think that may be why i got the cracking. that or the clear cured to quickly. tho i mixed it according to their specs

very cool.

U dont use wax and grease remover between coats bc it will take the paint off. You should only do it before you start paint. After that you only use a tac rag.Well what type of Hardner you use??? Depends on the temp. You clear coat times should be when the clear cloat is tacky

Yeah, i was using medium (60-80 degrees). great all around. and i got the PDS to tell me coat times and such so I am good there.

had to restart build thread but have new stuff
 

O CRAP what did i do..hmm

Attachment 18909


Need more tire and will slam her down when everything is in the car. Currently the z has no engine or trans.
have lexan t-top covers installed, a steering rack gutted and ready to be installed. Also did a LED conversion the smoked tail lights. Will try to get pics!!

Will soon be building the old tired w series engine soon as tax comes in..you know forged pistons/rods etc etc. Also going through the debate of just blacking her all out or keeping the stock colors.

Installed Kouki rear control arms. Cleaned up by wire brush/cleaner and slapped some rustoleum on it. no real pics of the process bc it was pretty much what i did with the Zenki control arms. This would be the outcome. 10MM out with vented disk. was a splurge.

Slow process on the z since weather been odd lately. The engine bay is 50% done. Also installed new hood/hatch struts so i no longer have to use a pole to hold up. 3 new gauges are in the mail hopefully they will get here soon.
