sweet videos above!

MY buddy works for Mckinney Motor sports, and we where talking a bit more about a SR20DET swap. S14 black top with a gt28rs. And since he is an importer, they can hook up a pretty good deal, especially as a package, with motor mounts, and drive shaft conversion that they make

so I a gaining more interest in that route.

I also finished polishing out the rims some more. I am going to sand them down and get some gold flake paint and clear coat for my buddies gun, and we will shoot them. Hope it looks good. I will post pics later.

many good points have been made, I do not have my heart set on a motor yet. But I am leaning towards, simplicity and price.

I have been up for 38ish hours... I had to go strait from work, to LA to get some fun stuff, I am tired delusional and ever so happy!

I did get some killer deals, and I am so excited to get these on my little hatchi! best 500 bucks I have ever spent!

can we say stupid happy! 

seibon doors

RX7 turbo 4 piston brakes and brackets!

I need to clean then up, grind off the mazda and re paint them

Hahahah I don't think they will fit in the 13.... time to upgrade

This is the before and after pic of the rims that came with the car. polished them up... but they still are missing something.

I am going to strip them, and re paint them metallic gold... if that looks funky then black. but I need to sell them so I can upgrade

Using some carb cleaner to clean her up a little more, and get the years of brake dust off them...

after sanding it down a little... really should have used more aircraft thinner... i shot a coat of primer... its cold out so I will wait till morning to sand the primer, and shoot the gold...

..... finally time for sleep...

Started doing some work today. before I go to work today lol.

OEM front brake....

....weak!

dirty FC 4 piston calipers! Gosh I remember on FC how good it stoped!

angle grinder, drill with wire brush = fun

after I cleaned them up, I have to grind down the mazda badge

much better

now worked them with the wire brush some more

I am going to try out a few color, see what I think will work out best. but first primer!

primed, and then sanded

now some paint.

I kinda like it, it matches the rims nice lol... but its far from done. Once the whole car gets paint we will see what color the brakes stay, but probably will be black with white lettering.

rims had work today too.

sanded down the rims

taped them off, and primed them.

and a coat of color.

these rims will be sold off to accomidate the new brakes (plus i want lip). Since they have new tires, hopefully I can get 200-300.... not really sure what they are worth since they are 13s.
