ghost: The practice day is $60 and you get around 12 runs in. Last time we where able to get 18 but there where more cars this time.

Lasper: I got a red today that looks just like yours. It looks good. I'm going to TRY to get over to a mazda deal and match it to a car. I'll let you know if I was able to. Or just let me know what you want to do so I can order it as soon as possible

 

OKAY!!!

Here are my pics.
all of them are 1024 x 768

Enjoy!!!

Last few

 

Lesper: I saw the red tonight - it looks pretty awesome!!!!! MEshell cut me a little piece so the first one to hold it up against a red one wins......... :p

 

KC I am not sure what combination I want as far as background and lettering but I am heading out that way Saturday night...would you have it ready by then?

By the way Krazie your pictures look great, they definitly have a different look to them. On a side note I saw another member called "K r a z i e".

 

My car could look somthing like this, (sorry about the pixilation) but I like kwescott better with the black background and red text (new red of course) it is a little less pronounced.

Damn Ceasar you got some air between your tire where you pusing it hard? Picture perfect!

 

That picture where you took Casey's car and turned it red, is that hard to do? I have photoshop, but I never tried using it.

Are you being a smart ***?

 

I sure wish i had photo shop.

 

MeShell is trying to figure out if we can get T-Shirts made up before seven stock. i am thinking somehting along the lines of rotorlution on top with a big rotor under that. (and maybe a little more detail then that)
is anyone interested in buy one or two? it looks like they would sell for $15 a shirt.

if enough of you are interested and i get get an advanced payment from some of you, then i think we can make this happen. If you all think it is stupid, then ........ FINE.

(i am thinking how cool it owuld be if we all have ROTORLUTION on the cars, and the shirts.) :D

anyways, just a thought.

 

Snowfl8k..... HELLO!?!?!?!, it's been like 12 hours, and i dont see a daytime picture...... what's the hold up? :p

 

Probably won't be able to get one up until later. When I got to work this morning it was still dark and foggy (6:30) and I can't just leave the kids in the classroom and say "be right back I need to take pics of the car Although that would be a cool field trip don't you think? I plan on taking some and posting at a friends house right after school today if I can manage it time wise.....need to be in OC by 5:30. How about if I just e-mail you the pic and then you could downsize it and post it for me?? :o

 

works for me..... its my screen name, and throw a @msn.com at the end.

 

You hear that.......

...its the sound of the photoshop police comin to get cha....

cool chop Cesar....now I wonder what that would look like with a Big Boy, or better yet, a Terra Cota warrior with a Dr. Sues hat ...man, I crack myself up.

 

cool pics Krazie...and yes, I want to get my calipers painted red. I'm contemplating getting them powder coated so I don't have to constantly do touch ups...and the red from powder coating would be a lot darker.

 

yes, thanks Krazie for the pics.

Kwescott, if you want my .02 I painted my calipers yellow with VHT Caliper pain. and mine come clean nicley. powder coating sounds like a pain. but is by far the "more correct" way of doing it. also i painted the calipers on one of my other cars, and i never had any problem with it.

Cesar i think has been having problem with his though...... anyways, it's up to you, just wanted to throw that out there.

:D

 

I have no clue on how to DIY my calipers. I have a fear of taking the brake assembly apart to paint them. Brakes are important, and I wouldn't want to mess anything up. I know that some have painted them while they were still installed on the rotors, but I would hate to get overspray on everything.

I would consider painting them with the assistance of someone who has already done it. I think if I were to do it, working side by side with someone on my 8, then I could feel comfortable doing it on Snowfl8ks 8, or anyone elses for that matter.

On another issue, Richard Paul is going to be attending the Malibu cruise this weekend. He said that he would let anyone drive his car to test out the shifter...could even bring a couple to buy and install on the spot. (he will install it for you...on the spot...bring cash).

Going back to the caliper issue, anyone interested in assisting on this one?

 

Well, I am willing to assist you in it. I have painted many brakes (and done a TON of brake jobs. brakes really are not as hard as they seem. I dont understand how places can charge $200 to do a set of brakes...... it's just insane.

 

I would assume that we would need to do it at my place as the car would probably need to sit to allow the paint to dry...correct? Tell me a time and day, and I'm ready. (Just not this weekend since I wont be around) .

 

as long as you have a jack, stands and the tools required, yeah your house is fine, if not then my house works to.
maybe somtime next week?

 

i keep coming up withnew avatars, here is my latest creation, i am waiting untill this new one wares off before i switch, but i thought it was funny enough to share with you guys.

 

pm me with the things that I would need. I definately will need to get jack stands...and the only jack I have are the ones in the car.

 

.......... ok how about you come over and we do it? :D
