A couple more cosmetic additions
 

I threw mirror finish headlights filled with xenon filled superwhite's. Then, threw the lip on.

Who painted the car and painted the intercooler and charge pipes? :facepalm:

You should see under the hood. Its a real beauty. I think my dog can weld better

those are actual headlights?


why do you feel the need for people to hate you? negative attention is not good attention.

I get a ton of compliments on the headlights, yes they work and have ccfl halo rings. Def bummed out about the intercooler being painted, a couple of days with some paint stripper and we should be good (hopefully I can get into the fins). 18psi, can you teach my dog to weld? Would be quite helpful when my hands are full and need a good tig. Furthermore, I'm on the hunt for a bigger externally gated turbo, manifold and all those goodies. Altogether, your not going to be able to point out how bad my engine bay once I get done. The car has only been in my possession a little over a month, so cut me some slack... taking baby steps to prolong dropping $$$ on a turbo.


I really like the look, I have not received any negative attention except for you guys... even though you don't like it, I LOVE IT. Ha

what a lazy painter. I wouldn't accept that shit.


anyways, just paint it black.

When you're a level 3 ricer you think everyone is "playa hatin" and "just mad cuz y0 shit is uber tyte y0"

Compliments from whom? Hichschool freshmen? Your little sister?

C'mon now.....

Your boyfriend and you sister... :giggle: lol. Autox events, cars and coffee, I mean u name it people like it but every once and a while you have the occasional old fart that doesn't like them.

What's wrong with your hood? Was this car totaled?

I know, I got the car like this. Do you think it would be possible to strip the paint off or should I just paint it black like you said? Or.... don't let me get to far ahead of myself, just get a new FMIC that stretches the entire span of the duct.

I think you should add more paint on top of it by painting it black. I heard it really gives the thermal diffusion properties of your intercooler a big boost.

I was trying to close my hood and somehow a squirrel mindlessly jumped where the hinges are... trying to grab an acorn or something who knows. I shut the hood and it jacked my hinges up so much that it doesn't shut all the way. Don't you hate how these things happen. :slap:

Really no way... I learned the complete opposite in my 3rd grade physics class :withstupid:

Are you sure you don't just have hood risers? Seems like an elaborate story. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Then why are you asking questions?

Are you one of those suckers who think paints matters when it comes to the effectivness of an IC?

Not to a point. I run a painted intercooler on my DD.

I'd love to see homeboy put another few coats on top of what he's already got, though. Then maybe spike to 16psi like he said he's doing in the other thread.


Bonus points for using a paint roller or a brush.

LOL dude, the car has digressed into a total pos since you bought it. I think this ones a troll. Those headlights are hideous, hood risers, color matched FMIC? blakked out wheelz, yo!

R package lip is your best mod so far ;).

SERIOUSLY trying not to be a dick. But you leave me no choice.

In for blown motor, since the OP has no idea what kind of management the car is using :bowrofl:

MS PNP big dog

old fart? I'm in my 20's.

I think the term you're looking for is NON-RICER

*edit: actually most posting in your fail threads are under 40.

What are you, 12? holy shit

wow you guys are pulling all kinds of stuff from other threads to try and burn me... scheduled for a dyno-tune on monday haven't blown it up yet on 16 pounds, but when I do i'm going to drop a small block v8 in. Boo ya..

You are probably the most unlikeable human being i've seen on a forum to date.

You're lying about the hood risers, and i bet you're lying about the MSPNP as well, unless you magically figured it out in the last day or two that that's actually what the car had.

Why someone would bother running an MSPNP on a car that had an engine bay that looked like that is completely beyond me.

Good point, and i apologize. There's plenty within this thread to "burn you" with.

I can hardly wait to see how awesome a small block swap done by you will look.

12 and a half actually... most of you guys sound like people who pride in conforming to a group set standards. Why not go outside the box and do something different.

lololol y0 dawg, will it be rear mount?

that would be tyieeeet

well if no-one can appreciate my taste i'm not gonna post anymore pics

Your'e doing a fine job illustrating the difference between DIFFERENT and RETARDED. Thank you for that.

Seriously. 100% clubricer retard mentality.

"Bro's, I'ma do dis here 'terded shiett cuz it different and I'll be spec1aL" :fael:

:laugh: omfg :laugh:

Seriously, the site you're looking for is clubroadstere (aka clubricer).
Go there. Be with bros just like you. Be happy.
They won't hate on your mad taste dawggg

A MSPNP with a maf sensor?

lulz

The difference would be unmeasureable. First off, he's painting the face of the core. The majority of the paint is ending up on the endtanks and cross bars, so the amount of paint that's ending up on the turbolators that actually provide heat exchange is probably in the .00000001% range.

Although, I did paint my valve cover the other day and my engine overheated because the paint was so insulative that is overwhelemed the cooling system. The cure was to strip the paint off my hood--I just have to make sure to wear gloves before I lift it, else I'll burn my hands, since there's no more paint to prevent the hood from heating up.

:jerkit:


BTW, when it's cold outside, I dont put on clothes, I jump in a bath full of plasti-dip.

here's what blows my mind:

- They get mad and say we're all cookie cutter, and hate on their "style" cause they're "different"

- They fail to realize that this "different style" they're sporting is THE SAME FUCKING COOKIE CUTTER RETARD STYLE 1000000 OTHER RICERS ARE SPORTING.

Oh the ironing:giggle:

I'm hoping he'll get enough paint in there to fill in the area between the bars. It's pretty clear from the rest of the things on this car that "common sense" was not a front-runner in rationalizations used.

Come on man, it's not that at ALL. You did cheap mods to your car that made it look worse. Look at ANY car that you see on the streets that is "riced out", you are heading in that direction by wasting your time and money on chrome headlights and black paint on your wheels instead of working on your ghettofied turbo setup and at least cleaning your engine bay.

I can guarantee not everyone on this forum would like my car, but i also guarantee I wouldn't get flamed like you - because I put good parts on my car and everything has a purpose.

I ordered an oil cooler the other day. I had to return it, fucking trolls:

:bowrofl::brain:

just put some gold foil on it dawg

Where do I begin with this guys? By what little ive seen by the engine bay shot, my guess is he isnt running any MS or standalone and all bandaid (so he thinks), and his manifold is going to spring a crack somewhere around those shitty weld beads due to a life-long problem of weak penetration. If I ever saw headlights like yours, I would smash them for the sake of the fellow driving public. As for "compliments" you received, they all think like you do: "shiny mirror lights are teh shyte and yo boost will get you bitches dawg, only if i could get boostz in my civic yo! ya da shyt!"

I seriously doubt you have enough mechanical knowledge to drop a "V8" in that trash bucket that used to be a miata.

Do yourself a favor, and stop.

Stop wasting your money, and focus on a real setup.
That shit is going to break.

I bet my automatic miater has more power than you will ever reach in that crap rustbucket called yo ryde.

I also have doubts that your POS turbocancer can reach a sold 16psi on that tiny sphincter you call a turbo.

Is your charge piping made from used exhaust bends?!

I forgot to add one piece of my taunts:

You do realize that hood risers dont work, and actually keep heat in the engine bay, right?

The only way u can get away with ur car looking progressively worse is to make it fast, reliably fast. Then u can make us look like shit.

-Good Luck

It's only a little step up from the poolhose in techsalvager's car:party:

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

This thread makes me feel sooooo much better about the way my car looks

That's a nice roll bar!!!

Look at that turbo, dude are you related to techsalvager?
