That looks awesome!

 

I agree, can't wait to see the finished results...thanks for keeping us posted!

 

you laquered the car?

is it a one or two stage paint?

Did you spray a base coat and than a clear over it?

thanks and looking good

 

Ahh I remember the days of laquer.

Before the EPA took it away from us.

 

yes ive heard this as well

they are trying to use water based now and less toxic paints.

is the laquer a one stage paint?

from my understanding it would be a 1 stage paint.

 

i am in for the win!!!
more pics keep everything posted!!

ps does any 1 know how much the stock sc300 rearend/axles holds powerwise want to know if im goin to break anything at 800rwhp cant seem to find any info

 

whats the deal with laquer? why can't we shoot our cars with it? i thinking laquer paint must be indestructible or something.

 

no the goverment is cracking down on some sort of chemical that is in it.

they have done the same with house paints---and also furniture finishes and the sort.

 

awsome build i am going vvti my self man u put some doe in that car for real

 

here it is guys finally got the car out of the booth got it ready for the install and finally got it installed heres the play by play heheh oh and my big problem that the end lets see what you guys think















and heres my problem the getrag doesnt fit inside the tunnell i was tihnking of puting a 3/4 inch spacer on the crossmember i really dont want to cut open the tunnel

 

I've read that you can beat the tunnel out with a hammer to make the Getrags fit...

 

omg i love this thing, cant wait for more updates!

 

Yeah, I also read somewhere that only the last couple of model year SC300/400/Soarers had a transmission tunnel capable of fitting the Getrag transmission with no modification. Supposedly most model years require you to physically "modify" the transmission tunnel for fitment.

 

oh im good at physical im goin to ahve this sorted out tomorow no worries guys, nothing i cant handle, if i puta 1ggte in an ae86 i can get the getrag to fit
