Just went over the thread again. Great stuff!

 

car looks nice bro..

 

I need to hijack this paint job

 

by all means!

you can buy 9 HoK base coats and try multiple layers of a single top coat over them to try and create the same color.

 

sounds expensive

 

eh.. just like $100 after shipping for the different test paints and speed shapes. worth much more to have the exact color I was looking for. I looked at each combination in various shades of light, indoors and outdoors, and at every angle. people were asking me what I was doing when I had all these samples laid out on the sidewalk and I was laying on the ground looking at each of them.

and I just realized its only 7 different tests.

 

Talk about emotional attachement. Thats a lot of work and tears. Great job man!

Best of luck with it.

 

Hey rob did u get that instrument cluster to work (the new version)?
Also, do u do body work or someone else did it for you?

got a bit of an update, I installed a quaife LSD because the OPEN diff wasn't cutting it any more, it was actually pretty unsafe with all the new power I have from the SC, always spinning a wheel was getting annoying. Also got nismo diff cover and SPL solid bushings to finish it off.









Also went to a local dyno day to hang out, I put my car up to see if it was still making the power it was when it was tuned back in october. To my surprise it was down to 335hp from 350hp... I always hated the filter and I'm guessing it was pretty clogged because I did a few runs without the filter and I instantly gained 33hp. I now am making 368hp on a low reading mustang dyno. Also there was a guy who was NA and recently purchased the kinetix manifold. I convinced him to let me try it on my newly boosted engine. I did dyno's back to back to back same strapping to compare my modified manifold with spacer to the kinetix that claims like 30hp.. it didn't make anymore power and actually the power curve came in later, basically shifted to the right. So that was disappointing but not surprising. it's shiny but thats about it!

 

It's about time I see some progress in your thread, Rob.

I gotta give you, Jack, Tony, and Chris a call the next time I'm driving through Dallas.

 

nice.... So the different manifold didn't make a difference at all

 

yeah I'm still sad you didn't call last time

progress will be slow this year, not doing much since I'm saving up to get in to a house.

 

Glad to see you back on here, you've been quiet recently. Good to hear that your car is doing well, when do you plan to build the bottom? Great choice on the quaife, one of the best upgrade i've done to my car as well.

 

I installed the same LSD on my friend 350z... Its quite pretty easy when you look at it. Thought it was harder job but it isnt. It really worth it!!!
