12 Attachment(s)
Bought the car from Full tilt boogie a few weeks ago.
Attachment 194708 Attachment 194709 Attachment 194710 Since then I've swapped the top off my NA, swapped the shocks/springs and RB sway bar from my NA, swapped over my M-tuned bbk. I also painted the lower part of the dash and the carpet. I'm waiting on black door panels to come in the mail. Attachment 194711 Attachment 194712 Attachment 194713 Attachment 194714 leatherface and I also painted the insides of the head lights. Attachment 194715 Attachment 194716 Attachment 194717 M-Tuned BBK Attachment 194718 Suspension Attachment 194719 The body still needs a really good detail. I need to find some NB seats. I still need to order a front GV lip and I'm getting a rear MSM lip from a friend of mine. I also want to tint the windows and rear tail lights. I also need to swap in my roll bar. Once all that is done I will move onto the power dept. :brain: is going to mod my MS to MSII for the NB, then I'll start collecting go fast parts. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
I like this car alot. The headlights look pimp in the daylight
|
Woah, never seen anyone paint the interior bits of a car while its still in the car. The black already looks better. Were all excited to see what this turns into. Good luck keep up the good work Phil!
|
Looking good! First thing I did on my NB was swap the interior out for black too, I hated the tan. Headlights look good too, I've been wanting to do that to mine.

Yeah, If I were to pull it all out I would have just swapped in an already black interior and I didn't feel like doing all that. It worked out in the end. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

Any special tricks to getting these headlights apart or just the normal oven deal? Definitely have plenty of paint, think I even have some made for painting plastic so it doesn't flake off. I need to polish the lenses too, mine are starting to fog over.

LS1 swap?
|
In on page1 of what is certainly going to be a badass build.

remove basically everything that's removeable from the headlight. Unscrew all screws. Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Use a cookie tray or something flat and big enough to hold headlight. Cover that in tin foil so you don't mess up the tray or make it smell like headlights after. pop it in there (do 1 at a time) for about 10 minutes. anywhere around that time the glue gets soggy. underdo it and you'll have to rip the 2 parts apart which is bad and can damage them. overdo and you might start melting the clear part. its a balancing act. when you take it out, WEAR GLOVES. soft leather or vinyl ones will work. pry apart. you MAY need to use a flathead to "help" pry them apart. be very careful cause metal can seriously mess up the plastic, so don't just have at it. be very patient, HOWEVER if you take more than about 30 seconds to pry apart it will start hardening back up and make it a nightmare. if that happens, pop it in for another 2-5 minutes and get it back up to temp. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
mist coat when your painting them. thats all they need and make sure you wipe them down good with alcohol before you paint.
|
Kinda makes me want to swap all my stuff to a NB.
|
Hanging in a chow line?

Why are you going with a smaller turbo on a 1.8 then you did with the 1.6?

Motor will be stock and a 2560 can provide all the power the motor can handle and spool quicker than the 2871. When I build the motor I will probably move up to a 30xx.

Believe it or not, Ive polished them at least half a dozen times. It always came back after a few months, and recently I just gave up (on the headlighrs and the car in general)

I'm guessing it's because a 2560 spools very well (I get full 12psi by 3,800ish starting at 2k) and can EASILY reach the engine's limits.
however I do agree that for stock motor a 2560 would make for a decent streetable turbo with lots of delicious midrange for low speed commuting. |

Maybe is my noobness to the subject and the fact that this is the first turbo car I have ever driver more than 20 seconds (Porsche 911) but I love the fucking 2870. LOVE IT :makeout: :love:

Cleaned the headlights, right? and the 6uls that does give it a different look.
|
Cleaned the head lights, painted insides black, put the 6UL's and GV lip on. Car still needs a good bath.

I'm not sure how I feel about the lip, I think with an 01+ front bumper and lights it will look better.
__________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
Im partial to the 99-00 bumper, it looks more like a classic sports car, and more like a miata.
The 01+ lights do look better though. I think when you put 01 lights in the 99 bumper they fir pretty well, theres just a little gap around the bottom. |

I like the 01-05 front because the bumper isn't all rounded and goofy like all the other miata's, but more straight and stern.

too much stripes.

needs small side skirts to go with the lip. Other than that its pretty damn nice sir!
It reminds me of a local car here that is also Sunlight silver with black racing stripes. |
I actually like it. I really thought it was going to look slightly off, but I was wrong. I dig it, probably the only 99/00 front end i've ever liked.
Stripes are for MEN ;) Wear them with pride. |
Now that is a major transformation! Looks great man, congrats and good job. The headlights look killer, as does the paint and stripes with the 6UL's and that GV lip. Overall it's pure sex.
|
The transformation is quite pleasing to the eye.
The car is growing a ballsack:D |
