i actually used auto paint and painted the outside of my headlight.... i think tint would work fine man... overlays always come out clean and if u dont like it u can rip it off again...

motoextreme · 11-28-2009, 12:11 AM

Thanks man, I'll take it into the tint shop monday as their doing the window anyway. Running out of mods myself, time to get creative. Thinking about blacking out my rims just cant decide. Nice job thus far bro!

simota1 · 11-28-2009, 10:05 PM

wow are you going to do this all yourself? haha thats so awesome ^_^ +1 for rep

simota1 · 12-05-2009, 11:48 AM

yes i do majority of my modding by myself... EXCEPT if its gonna give me a pain in the A$$ like installing the stillen headers... thats what my good friend who owns a mechanic shop is gonna come in LOL...

motoextreme · 12-05-2009, 12:41 PM

I'm done trying to keep up with you. The crazy thing is just the shipping to Guam has to really add up.

Looking awesome bro! I have a few parts ready to install but just dont have the time, nothing like this though.

I really want to wrench on my car myself more but I Cant get it off the ground high enough to get under it. Suppose its better to pay someone then strip a crankshaft nut/bolt

Keep it up, I'll add more pics of mine too when I get it going again next week, look forward to reading yours.

simota1 · 12-06-2009, 02:45 AM

thanks moto!!! yah shippin here does suck LOL... sometimes itll cost more than the actual part... thats why i have to ship it by boat... which sucks donkey balls... i took more pics... and i test drove her.... the temps were always at 180-200 TOP!!!! lol i was opening her up on the road wide open i usually start hitting 245-260 temps.. sooo im really happy with the results.. ill post pictures later....

simota1 · 12-06-2009, 03:38 AM

here are the updates.... PICTURES!!!!

Yup there pretty much bunched up next to each other... i had to but some black tar between mounting plates to insure it wouldnt rattle it came out great

another shot..... of it... u can see the lines were conncected already... it was a tight fit to make everything fit because of the stillen power steering oil cooler upgrade...

i installed a fresh K&N oil filter and 8 quarts of royal purple fully synthetic oil

i think my baby was thirsty... LOL....

re routing the air channel ducts was a lil tricky.... i know the whole c thing going on restricts the air but hey at least i was able to put them back on....

and yah yah my car is dirty lol i was tired and i was gonna clean her but blah tomoro..... ill clean her... shot right after i test drove her and tried to see the oil cooling temps... outcome was great

.... drove at very SPIRITED SPEEDS>>>> and it wasnt getting hotter than 190-200 degrees VERY VERY happy with the results...

hope u guys enjoyed my small update... hopefully if i get money fast enough ill be able to install my exhaust parts before new years hits

phelan · 12-06-2009, 03:44 AM

simota1 · 12-06-2009, 04:30 AM
