Update ? hahaha... here is the update on Blue Angel , my 3rd 2jzgte SC. You know it had been raining a lot lately. I tried using my AWD XL Denali to tow the Blue Angel from the back yard to the front.... yard soil was soft, got stucked messed up the yard .

Decided to use the 4x4 Chevy Tahoe to pull the Denali out and Tahoe got stucked too..and more part of the yard is messed up

Wife comes home and see the mess... and now got a screaming wife because of the mess this Blue Angel is causing . (2 stucked 4x4 vehicles / messed up yard )

Wanted to try pulling Tahoe with my GMC Sierra but I was told by a screaming wife not to even think about it...lmaol.

I will have to wait for a day or two for the yard to dry up since we have sunshine today and next couple of days.


Hahaha..sanding / preparation is the hardest and most crucial part of painting. Your paint job's depends on that preparation.

Messed up yard...



My wife is gone till 6 pm today and as stubborn as I was, I tried freeing the XL Denali and Tahoe from being stucked and got that damn SC out from the back yard .

been here before, taking out what is not needed on the bay and cleaning it up before I sand it down for painting with the RSP color. Black drivetrain on an RSP color will look good just like the Black on a Red colored bay. But no shaving of holes just like the Red Mamba...too much work .






People think that spending money on the engine is all what it takes to have a boosted car / fast car. They forget to take into consideration that all the supporting parts should be able to handle that power. A lot of people say, " Oh, I see a lot of performance cars always breaking and being repaired". Think about it, even old non performance cars starts breaking and becomes money pits. We are trying to convert 10, 15 , 20 or even more year old cars into performance cars. Power that wasn't intended for such car. You don't look after that boosted car of yours then don't complain that it always break. Besides, truly , they are money pits.

Got the car on jack stands so I can go through this car thoroughly, upgraded brakes , suspensions , fuel lines and what not under the car. The plan is make more power on this car than my other two 2jzgte SCs . Then will rust proof the underside. This car is a Georgia Car so not a trace of rust on it.

is that the 97?

No, this is another 1992 . Got 3 of these 1992 . Reason I prefer them is, another 20 months and am free from any inspection or emission tests and can boost as much as I want..

But , if your question is will it be the one that will have the 97+ looks ... YES Sir , so I will have all the SC generation looks..1992-1994 , 1995-1996 , 1997-2000 .

My exact reason for wanting to keep the car

irondonkey

mine is a 92 also. im happy it'll soon be emissions free... i know my car won't pass, i have a O2 check engine light.

emissions around here is dumb anyway. its owned by some private company contracted out to the government. lol

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

well it wont be long, lol., A lot of GA guys I know has the 92


After all, you can always have the +97 looks without the inspection / emission requirements of the +97.

Started taking out the body kit / lights of the 97 car and move them on this car to give me a bit of inspiration.

I see you are still at it. Glad you got the car out of the yard. I got my stepdaughters car in the backyard a few years ago. Took almost two years for the grass to grow back correctly. My buddy used his Yamaha Grizzly 700 to retrieve it out for me. LOL

What's going on my friend ! Long time no hear ! How have you been. I am trying to get that beige SC where it should be...

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

It is getting to look more like a 97+ model now by fitting the body kit and lights. Though they will have to be taken out again when I start painting to get into the hidden areas.










With an objective of more power, it is but right to use on this car the 4" downpipe / midpipe to 3" dual exhaust
so engine will have less back pressure

irondonkey

marietta billards. a lot of cars are coming out.

SC crew is meeting at the QT at pleasantdale off the hwy exit. rolling out at 130pm sharp.
