And man the calipers are gonna be fresh! In for the custom stoptech sticker

brackets look nice. was it powdercoated?

SHG_EasyE

Thanks coop! The Mugens were my inspiration for the design of the brackets. Obviously not a direct replica but the spacers were something I took from their design. Im going to try and get them installed tomorrow along with some other things. Gonna spend the day working on the car

Thanks dude I actually sprayed them with some epoxy coating. Its very durable almost like powdercoat. You can try and dig your nail into them but its rock hard.

Ya man I'm really diggin those! I hate how my seat brackets fit. How much was it to make those little spacers? Those rails seriously look awesome man I want a set lol.

Always quality work outta this guy

PS: Where do you get the epoxy paint from?

SHG_EasyE

Well I had the stainless pucks laying around since forever so I just paid to have the holes machined in them. Between that and 10 aluminum conical washers I paid $50

Paint was VHT Epoxy paint... Kind of tricky to lay on but worth it in the end

Refreshed the muffler today since the paint I used before burned off at the track.

Popped it off....



Washed it with soap and water then re polished the tips...



resprayed with hight temp BBQ paint...

SHG_Claudio

SHG_James

how do you keep the underbody clean? do you not drive in the rain? strictly track and good weather car only?

SHG_EasyE

Haha nah, I didnt bother since Im puttng a BC spec 3 on next spring... Def cant wait for Oktoberfest too

I actually polished them cause I liked how they looked, to each his own I guess lol.

Nah its my only car daily driven every day 45 min commute

mattrt09

i also dont know how you keep it so clean lol it looks like its freshly painted all the time

skipunk4

High temp bbq paint ftw lol. That's what I did my header heat sheild with

Muffler came out sick man

SHG_EasyE

Haha, well the POR stays pretty damn clean, stuff just doesnt stick to it

Yeah man, I used duplicolor engine enamel last time. I was surprised that burned off... I guess the muffler was reaching temps over 500* at the track 0_o

SHG_Claudio

Quick question Ev, what did you use to paint your engine/tranny? Probably doing mine this winter O.o

SHG_EasyE

I havent painted one yet. The engine in my old hatch was bare aluminum...





Since the EP is a daily driver Im going to paint my K20A2 when it goes in. It will hold up better to weather and mileage... Not sure what paint I want to use for that though.

SHG_Claudio

No **** huh? That motor looked crazy mint! I hate how you built my dream EG first though!!

skipunk4

Love that eg

mattrt09
