project:Soarer
so, got another shirt to show my jdm madness for the toyota life..
and onto hard parts stuff!!! finally got my e-fay high beams in. mocked them up to my "naked" front of my sc/
and i started my process of painting the housing on my headlights black. i find it easier to do x2 different minutes of 6 at 300 degrees. i used a flat tip screwdriver to peel them apart..
got them, both apart. and will show more pics of this when i start painting them in "gloss" black!!

okay so now i cleaned up the headlight housing and gave it a spray..
after 2 coats doused it with some acrilic enamel.
so heres my question cl people. to the folks that have done this mod. do i spray this black also??? or do i leave it as it is?? will spraying it reduce visibility??

Thats a good question. I think if you spray them, it will interfere with the lighting. I dont know for sure, just assuming. I left mine bone stock and cleaned them up and resealed them silicone.
Nice build by the way.. Are you following mine or what??? :-)

so what happend was............
was browsing craigs list, why because i always do looking for a break... and i found one..
reporetly off a 92 cummings. snagged this hx h1c(an old hx35) for a cool 100 bones.
0 i mean 0 shaft play. dosen't appear to had been leaking oil and looks overall like a solid turbo.
bigger than in the pics hard to imagine a simple 40 bigger than this. hoping to slap this on my 1jz and make some real hp.
but for the time being, iam pretty sure this is going to max out the stock injectors..
