keep us updated, looks like its coming along good

 

What temps will powder coating hold up to? If I do decide to go turbo, I want a nice looking setup like yours or sciondad's! Will the powder coating eventually wear away from all the heat, or are there any maintenence requirements to keep them looking nice?

 

waiting for vid...

 

powdercoating isn't for hot pipes

 

AJ I hate you lol JK, your car is gonna be fast as ____... wish i had that kind of money to burn on my car... I'll still be first auto turbo in south florida i hope

 

Powder coating is extremely resistant to heat and is also extremely durable, plus you have an awesome finish.

I'm not sure what he used on the manifold/turbo, but what I did was get a silver ceramic coating on my manifold inside/out. This keeps temps down, prevents rust and has another extremely durable nice finish

 

Sorry for no updates. I had to leave the car and fly back home for an unexpected job interview. My appreciation to ZPI for allowing me to leave my car while I handle this. I'll be flying back next Monday 10/3 to drive my car home. I'll post vids and the rest of the pics when I can.

 

so whats the grand total? kit, labor, powder coat, pipes... have fun ridin home, dont make too many riced out hondas cry.

 

lookin great. cant wait for the vids

 

On my way out, but here is a few pictures. I wish I had her home to drive, stupid job interviews ;)

Various engine bay shots:










AEM Wideband o2 gauge and Cobalt Boost Gauge (Thanks Joey for that awesome mounting!!!)


Custom tuned Emanage


Relocated (Rally Style) Fog Lights (Thanks Kenny!!)


Blitz i-Color - First one installed in North America (Thanks Kenny, Kisha, and Joey!!!)

 

holy freaking ___ $hIt. Is that the anthrocite finsih pipes?? And which 2 gages are those in your air vent???? And the Blitz i-color, good work. It's as if you're building a car with my brain, cause that's seriously that same dream set up I'd want. Mine however, has been downsized a bit for budgeting reasons.

 

Thanks for the kind words we had a lot of fun this weekend. Looking forward to racing the car while you are gone......yeah

 

hurry up with the vid man.

 

Come on and finish that kit so we can race. I live in Miami, FL so if we meet up half way its like a 20-30 minute drive. Currently running 10PSI on stock exhaust and untuned. Next week im tuning it, so it should be a bit quicker. Msg me, if ur interested in setting something up.

 

oh hell i'd drive out to see that

 

Yeah i want to see the vid man.

I love the black finish on everything. It makes it look sick stock and i really like that!

 

The kit is finished, I had to fly home for interviews this week so the car is sitting. I'm flying back next Monday, 10/3 to drive the car home. Not sure if I'll fly up and drive back same day so I may not be home till the 5th or so.

I will definitely race you and your Scion Speed Stage II car, tuned of course, I wouldn't want to hear any excuses when you get rolled by my 16G :D

Anyway, give me a few days to actually drive the car, I've only driven the car about 2 miles during one of the first tuning sessions so I don't even know how she hooks up with my 19's or how she should be shifted.

I think by that next weekend Oct 8th/9th I can meet you in Ft. Lauderdale and run you a few times. I'll bring the video camera, you just bring your pride and prepare for disappointment

Matty, you'd better get some time off work :D

 

I will take this race if you meet me half way

 

Dam...I need to be boosted again...I have been w/out the boost box for 1 day and Im missin it already...I need my tC to come in already so I can be boosted again.

 

yo when this goes down in lauderdale you gotta make sure and tell me i am in broward and would love to watch this ..... gettin wood thinkin about it hahaha
