[QUOTE=shadycrew31;4223733]Woot! Hector... If you want I can paint your wheels for you. Just buy the paint, it'll take us about a day to do the whole project.


Thanks man That sounds good i just want to get done installing the rear rotors first so we can start on rims. 9k recommends me to paint them gun metal i think its like the color you had on you stock rims right? If it is it sounds like a good option

 

[QUOTE=houstonrx8er;4223683]so today was an interesting drive to work.....drive about 5miles on 1 cylinder then the 2nd kicked in but misfired like a crazy under load (sounded totally ricer!....and just last night I got the last of my LED's in...damn they look good). Finally everything kicked in and it drove soso but I think I will do a little seafoam tonight see if I can by a few more weeks.....I just want to finish my kitchen!!!!
Im a tape n floater and painter if you need a hand

 

[quote=Hector Castillo;4224430]Yea I agree that would look good!

You can get the paint at autozone, we are all rushing to get our cars finished! hahah.

 

[quote=Hector Castillo;4224433]sweet man, no drywall yet but I am going to hire out painting when I get everything else done, we will definitely touch base.

 

I just noticed a lot of knicks and chips in the wheels. Sorry I'm a bit picky when it comes to wheels. On my own car I notice every little chip and then stress over it.

Heck even on Hoss-05's car I obsess over the bit of curb rash on his wheel.

 

well maybe this is something that shouldn't have been left up to a vote, just run with what you thought was best and if they dont like they dont have to buy it.... plain and simple.




and if you don't like the democratic process, you are living in the wrong country.... js

 

Hector these are on Craigslist for $300 but the seller is in Houston . I asked for the specs and they are 18x7.5 offset +38. Not really crazy figment but ya cannot beat the price for brand new wheels. The seller is willing to meet halfway.i would offer $250.

Not bad, you could get them redrilled and get spacers for cheap

 

 

houstonrx8,

Do you have everything you need to pull the motor? Do you need me to bring anything? Do you have metal files? Do you have zip lock bags?

 

Dunno if the bolt pattern would fit on our cars...

But stock wheels in gunmetal with spacers looks dope as ****!

 

From what I can find on the webz these are dual bolt pattern 5x108 5x114.5 not sure the bore size.

 

If y'all are doing this on Sunday I might be available ....

 

Even if the bolt pattern is off it is not a big deal to have the bored out or to have sleeves put in like on my wheels.

 

That's the plan.

 

Word.. Does your tire and wheels guy offer this? If not there is a shop in my hood that does. They bored out my bbs wheels.

Let me know what time and Austin pm me your address..

 

I'm coming down on Sat and staying the night. My plan is to get the engine fully broken down and and partially cleaned. I want to see what type of rebuild kit he needs/what needs to be replaced.

By the end of day on Saturday I'd like to get the engine out of the car and ready to be broken down. Sunday I'd like to have the engine broken down and the basic cleanup complete.

The only thing I don't have is the engine mount adapter, I think he picked up the 2 1/8" socket for the flywheel already. I have the flywheel stop and the book plus DVD.

My buddy in Cali still hasn't gotten back to me about my stuff, which kinda sucks but whatever. Money is money.

 

No he doesn't but wheels america can do it in Schertz.

 

Do you need my 1/2" impact? Do you need my huge blue bucket to use a parts washer? Did you tell him to get the degreaser from harbor Freight? My compressor sucks but my impact is 500+ft/lb so with the right compressor it works great.

 

You guys are going at it hard! I wish I was there to give a hand and witness first hand. Going to do any porting work?

 

I think he used to work as a machinist and has every tool known to man but I'll hit you up if we need anything. I've been shooting PM's back and forth with him for the past few months about supplies and parts.

Yep going to do an RB street port.

Sidenote: I haven't told him my plans yet he just knows I'm going to down there to help him hahaha. I'm more excited about getting into this engine than I am about possibly getting laid tonight. I think somethings wrong with me...

 

But does he have metal files? They are essential

 

Dude you da man.... Austin lives close to us I am busy on sat but will be around sat evening.... Pm me your number...

 

I have:
every tool known to man (other than the one I will need at that particular time)
engine lift
jack stands
floor jacks
I am getting a parts washing station if harbor freight has in stock (including chemical)
files
and a broken motor

sat and sunday

Think I have the socket but I iwll double check when I get home from Harlingen

I have an impact driver but its a cheapy....have a compressor

tons of files (and I iwll donate 1 or 2 to you )

PM's to be sent this evening

 

Sounds like a plan. I wish I could be there Saturday My GF's parents are coming to visit her Sunday so I got lucky
