PM me details!

RSZero1

if I downshift/upshift at high rpm and it blows a small black exhaust puff, is that bad? I had the engine rebuilt not long ago. It's happened twice, but not on any type of regular basis. Am i just blowing carbon off? I havent really pushed it in a while prior to this, just daily duty.

RS- what engine? What fuel? ECU? Sounds like your running rich is all. Probably nothing to worry about.

Thats right...SWAG *** SPOILER!

Stock D16A6 with JDM head and cam. Stock ECU, reg 89. New Cat and o2 sensor.

Red, how did I miss this? - > I'm in process of converting from ita (d16a6 OEM) to STL/h2 motor (11:1 d15 with big cam...) hope to have it done by labor daybor

Bently_Coop

Lewy- IMO looks like ****, go sell it to a ricer with real rota's and continue to help the import scene fail. Pretty sure that your spoiler serves zero purpose like that.

RS- Its probably fine. Only thing I can think of is if your distributor may be advanced or retarded but I wouldn't mess with it if everything else is working.

because I haven't said anything online about it, haha

I'll be doing pics of the engine build....basically leaving car the same, just a different longblock,allowed to do a lot of weight reduction, etc


goes from 2250 w/driver legal weight to 2025. Allowed to do CF hood/lexan/cut door bars, bumper bars, move battery, etc. It'll make the car a much better track car for non-racing days, easier on consumables, and faster.

11:1 compression via decking/milling/pistons, ARP everything, head with wild radius valve job, aftermarket springs, and a custom Rocket cam. 7 lb flywheel too.

Want some quick opinions from here. I recently removed the body kit on my car (go ahead, rejoice). However, it definitely needs some paint now. Suggestions? Local paint shop sells Limco for about $300 (gallon base, gallon reducer, gallon clear, quart hardener). I know single stage is popular for those on a budget, which is definitely me.

Best part is I recently had to wear my BCGs to work because I ran out of contacts. Urkel jokes were rampant.

But seriously: Hoping to get some ideas for possible online paint vendors.

On my cars I'm now partial to vinyl. ...because they are track cars only mostly. I have nothing to contribute. Ha

Check these guys out for paint if you want a custom color or there's a $50 paint job thread here on H-T

I've done the $50 paint job. I actually have a decent paint set up now. My car was a mess when I got it. Half flat black, some factory red, hood scoops, body kit, wing on the wing. The works. Anyways, I painted it with $20 worth of Rustoleum a year ago (or two?) and it faded like poop. I'm attempting to do something better this time around so it will last.

I've thought about TCP global. Not really into the Flatz line. I'd prefer some gloss. But I'll check it out again and compare prices. I appreciate the input.

EDIT: What about the restoration line? That's what I was looking at. Around $250 for a 2-stage set shipped iirc.

EDIT AGAIN: I see the restoration line base coat is like $120 for a gallon. That's not bad compared to the almost $200 my local shop charges. However, my local place has better clear coat pricing and I've seen magnificent reviews on it.
