Looking good buddy...Your the first person I've seen go from a S5 trim to a S4. Any particular reason why? Either way more props to ya rockin' the S4 trim.
|
i was wondering the same thing.
|
i actually like the S4 stuff plus S5 stuff is worth some pretty coin. oh BTW i just scored a free set of Acura TL wheels and a set of sleeve coilovers for $40 so its on its way.
|
damn, that's cheap. What year Acura?
|
my $40 sleeve coilovers
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...1012081852.jpg not my TL wheels but the same kind. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...ars/2a60_1.jpg |
Do you know if those coil over sleeves do anything for the car's overall handling? I hate to ask. All I've heard about those are that they're about only good for adjusting the height of the car and every adjustment messes with the alignment. :dunno:
|
you can get different spring rates for them just like regular coilovers and with a set of nice shocks can be realy good. personnally im looking into tokico shocks. basiclly for now i will run these and eventually get real coilovers but i couldn't pass up these for the price.
|
I getcha whatever works for you. It hard to get what you want when the pockets are running on the shallow side lol.

well, make sure you work on maintenance first and foremost. You can buy coil-overs and all these frivolous things for CHEAP but it won't help you get to work or school. Make sure the car runs perfect and you maintain it. The rest can be done slowly.
|
yea she runns good has a coolant leak i just cant find but other then that she runs extremely well for a 194,406mile car. and yes i was watching a show with Jay leno's jet bike when i made the jet powered 87 FC comment. lol

that'll be different
|
Buy a real HVLP gun
|
HVLP? The internetz says that gravity fed is better. Since I dont know shit other than that, can you please elaborate?
|
Gravity fed is "better" but that really doesn't have squat to do with HVLP..... and I hope Classic chimes in here.
You can actually use a gravity fed updside down with a vacuum bag inside the container, but that's irrelevant for the purpose of my comment. HVLP means High Volume Low Pressure. I said buy a real gun becuase the ones he bought are crap. I've used crap guns, and they piss me off. I've used expensive guns and they are more consistant, the adjustments actually adjust shit, and they just work better. Got to an online retailer and look at the price of some of the higher end guns, the name brand guns, Sharpe, Devilbiss, Sata, etc etc etc. They are starting @ $200 for the low end models and run upto $500, not $50 from Horror Freight. There is a reason for this. |
ummmm i'm not complaining about the guns cause i got then Free. now if i ever do get around to painting my car i will get much better guns
|
If you're not painting a car................ why post pics of spray guns? Oh wait, you're painting your friends car.
Call me an old grumpy asshole, but I would rather throw shit tools away and spend the money than be pissed off at free tools. |
reminds me of my white fc
|
bad new guys the motor i got was bad so i'm taking it back to LKQ tommarrow and will have to wait awhile to get another motor i think i might skip the middleman next time and just buy a T5 yea we still havent painte my freinds car and i doubt when we do we will use that gun
|

BAD NEWS: sadly guys she died on me. finally blew a colant seal at 207K miles GOOD NEWS: i have bought another RX-7 this time a 86 non sunroof model. i also bought a wood steeringwheel,tokico blues,Ground control coilover sleeves. oh and a Holset HX35 external wastegate type for my motor biuld. those will go on the 86 until i sell it and get a better DD and then they will be transfered to the 90. oh BTW got a good job now.
