Getting ready for summer

[Johnjj728]

So my cars been sitting since November and i got her cleaned up yesterday. The body shop still owes me a wetsand and buff so the paint isnt quite as good as it will be once done. Excuse the ty-raps holding my intake and the wire coming out of my rear bumper.

[JoshVK]

did you drill for that intake duct?
and what suspension are you sitting on?

[Johnjj728]

Yeah i cut the whole for the intake and used a speaker box port as a trim piece. The suspension is Suspension Techniques springs and koni struts.

I love how black looks when its clean!

[JoshVK]

think we can get some close ups of that intake duct?

Regardless weather your paint is done or not. Its still better than mine. oh well I plan to get mine done soon. Car looks great tho man. Is it lowered as well? Some drops its hard to tell. I ahve B&G on mine and its lower than stock but barely. I bet with some Ground Controls that would look nice on your car... Good work buddy!

Wonderfull clean black,congratultions!

[colinsmx3]

ohhh very nice! Just wondering why you have no coolant overflow bottle,were'd it go??

[Daninski]

OOH nice rims, gots to get some. What size are they please and what size tires. Nice steering wheel cover, I wont tell and by the way I got one for Xmas from my kids. lol I like it. I don't see how it could get any shinier even with a wet sand. Looks great now. Are those glass head lites?

[mitmaks]

clean mx-3, good job

[BornSticky]

yeah the coolant overflow tube was the first thing I noticed missing but thats becasue before i blew my k8 the water pump was half dead and would blow off the overflow tube everytime i drove on the freeway im pretty sure my head gasket was blown... damn I did a good job on that engine!!!!

[mitmaks]

ya it will definitely will look better after sanding and buffing.

That black is STUNNING!

I too am getting my car all prep'd for summer. Not as good looking as yours, John, but she still gives me that joy in the morning when i walk out and she's all clean and spiffy. Also, I got lucky when i was at the wrecking yards and found a sunroof visor in really good shape, i like the look of it, any thoughts?







(i was going to cheat and use photoshop to cover up the chipping in the crappy white paint, but maybe if i leave the pictures alone, I'll get motivated to do something about it)

How did you get the little halo in the Altezza's to light up? The ones I got don't have any kind of wiring to the halo's, so they're just there. I was gonna go to RadioShack and get some small bulbs to fit there or something. Did your altezza's come with wiring for the halo?

[NorCalMX3]

rofl, there's nothing there, i just used the sunlight and took a picture at the right angle, they are reflectors after all...

that would be really sweet though
