lol ya extra computer chair on the deck, or sawhorse hahah it works.

Pearl and white plasti dipped my Mirrors as "test attempt" before I do my CF doors to match the panda paint theme. Turned out pretty good. It is very weird stuff, the first time I tried applying plasti dip it did not turn out so well... u lay it down totally different then real paint. I used the pearl plasti dip on my trim to test it out, and see if it will work on the rest of the car, seemed to work

Godspeed screamer pipe came in today. 

Going to install it tomorrow and paint the doors peal white with plasti dip.

Made a little Intro Video

Plasti dip fail... I dont know what is up with this stuff.... I used to really hate it, looks funky, seems cheap... But when done right it can look pretty decent. But it seems to be the luck of the draw whether it will or not... I am giving it one more chance. I am Not too happy with the first coat of plasti dip... looks uneven, had a few runs... just all around ______... I will order 2 more cans and re attempt this. After that I am Over plasti Dip forever.

10ft rule lol

ugly close up

At least my ebrake matches nice....

Well tons of coats later...

Still looks horrible

a little better

Oh no paint on my mirror

This part is convenient

ok 3 cans lol on one half a door!!! I think its cause its white trying to cover over black, why it sucks so much.

I still dont really like it... just is not even and smooth as paint... seems funky. but hey I can just pull it off, when I am ready to send it off to a real paint shop.

The mr2 may go under the knife again soon. I have been looking into changing out the fuel setup, and possibly turbo too.

I am definitely going E85 (as there is an abundance in my local area)

Swapping out my 1200cc injectors and putting in 2200cc

Getting ride of the duel walbro 255s, and putting in either a walbro400 or Aeromtive 1000 undecided.

upgrading my return line.

and possibly swapping out the ported gt3582R and getting a 6262 or something... not sure I want to do this, since I really have not maxed out the GT and kinda want to see what I can get...
