How do you live with yourself? lol

I'm sure all the work you got in this car is worth it.

 

Waiting to see the finished project is what brings me back to this forum lol

 

Thats it lol... I just started laying out EVERY piece in the garage to make sure once I get the car back I am SET and good... Well Im missing 5 harness's, a double din cage and a cover..... Well here we go final push... May 24th is a large show... IFO is on May 17th... I may miss it.

 

Got the car back... Any time I hit boost I leak oil BAD... They told me this issue. I need a oil catch can badly... like REALLY badly... I also failed the air control due to a ECU issue.... Kinda weird. Misfires and everything... I dont know if they cleared it all out or not... I may have to go back and clear EVERYTHING. We will see. I also have no cats... I may glass pack the exhaust and then later take out the glass packs to pass emissions. It will be at a car show but then I will have to take it back to the shop.

 

Freaking sucks.

I hope the shop gets this squared away. It's gonna suck to have the car there for a bit longer, but you're better off getting it to run 100%, otherwise it will slowly annoy you more and more until you hate driving it.

 

I agree... He said it needed to be done but, he wanted theinterior IN the car to move forward. That way he can run a few tests and get to work. Its only 5 more days in the shop. The Valve cover seals are likely 4-7 years old lol... So I can see why they need to be replaced. I am just hoping the head gasket is good.

 

Here are some progress pics for ya!




NOT SURE I LIKE IT...


STICKING WITH IT....



GLAD I SPENT 4 Hours taping the bay!



Basically done on the outside.

 

Here it is. Some pics about 90 percent done on the outside. My sons FAVORITE MOD is the color changing Demon Eyes and the Cars eyes!!! I still have lots to do before done! One is I am going in and painting all my door jambs!!!

 

I like the way it is all coming together.

What color dip is that? Looks kinda flat army green.

 

One suggestion, The G35 door handles are bulky and dated. You really should think about doing GTR handle conversion. I have seen used handles from wrecks go for $150 a set. It would look amazing on your car.

 

Its called Midnight Zombie Pearl. Its Emerald Green-Gold-Blue.... Looks Killer. I have another Color in the works because I got a sponsor from Cosmic Pearls. Now their new gloss top coat came out... CAME CHANGER!!!! Looks and feels like REAL CLEAR COAT!!!! Also, I want to do those handles!! Its either those or full shave on them!

 

And Mirrors... I need to do something about my mirrors.

 

Dont shave!! I made the mistake of shaving on my RSX, it was a miserable experience. Door poppers are a pain in the ***. Great for show cars that get driven ever couple of week, but crap on a DD. Eventually the relay/linkage messes up and you're crawling through the trunk to get in your car. I took the door apart so many times to fix that crap.

The GTR handles are sexy a fawk and mechanical always works. Only thing better would be Tesla handles. But wrecked GTRs are far more common than wrecked Teslas.

 

hmmmmmmmmmmm and getting those wired in would be a PAIN, but maybe!!!!!

 

haha Nice....I bought DEI gold wrap to wrap my engine bay too. #goldteam
