I'm just thinking of the color to re do them. I definitely want to get them re-colored though. Those Brides came after a whirlwind of trades and seats I didn't love

I kinda want to get my wagon painted another color and am looking at a nice shop to get it done.

They seemed all for it. Actually some seemed excited, they didn't seem turned off at all

Did you ever consider a candy teal? I don't know how it'd look with the gold wheels, but it would surely look sweet with the brown.

I think you're in my head, that was my first thought for a color but then thought the same thing, about the gold. Maybe I can chop together some pictures and see how it might look.

You should stop over and check out a customer's Evo that has LPC coated "Anodized Teal" calipers. His is a white car but it would give you an idea.

That's hilarious. I actually have new Brembo stickers you can have, as I did mine flat black and am not using the stickers.

Wait this is a macco paint job?!?! Very nice job! A car I previously had was a macco paint job and it was great as well surprisingly. What macco did this?

[dastpe]

dude, you need to put some of this money into the engine bay.

Beautiful CCWs!

[morla]

meh, I'll post this here now

love my driveway mini shoots























My engine bay is nothing special but I just liked how these came out



Love gifs like these

Pics 1 & 6 are my favs

[morla]

thanks, I had gotten a new computer and I had photoshop on my old one but I decided to just go with Lightroom on my new one. I didn't usually do any post work but I love how Lightroom is set up and I've been doing more post shot work on them. The vignette is a little harsh but I think I'm partial to that after working with film and doing it myself to actual photos.

[morla]

So I haven't updated but things are moving. FP Black was installed, Tomei Downpipe, Deutchwork injectors, Tomei manifold, and a tune to throw it all together. I got it tuned at RT and put down 403 on a safe tune. I needed to get a boost solenoid, new MAP sensor and to install a hard UICP and possibly looking at 500+ most likely. That should be sick, plus I got wheels to fool around in the snow and go hard in. I also switched the centers to LM5 in gold and did a full and final interior swap

Might just be the angle, but you didn't loop the harnesses over the harness bar, right? The harness bar is strictly to give you the correct angle for the harness to descend from the pass through in the seat and then to the floor mount. It can be dangerous in a crash if a harness bar is being treated like the actual harness bar of a dedicated roll bar/ cage.

Also, did you do head studs at some point? You'll likely need them if you're aiming for 5 to the wheels.

[morla]

The harnesses are properly connected to eye bolts in the bar. The harnesses are really long so that's all just extra strap hanging down. I head new studs put in back when I had the cams thrown in

[morla]

Here's right before I switched the interior


They're in strong. I really read up on the safety of a roll bar/harness bar after I took out the cage. The harness bar is a quick release bar from buschur so I can take it out if I have extra people and the pins holding it in are pretty huge which I like.

I like everything but the interior now, the old brides were much nicer IMHO, not that it matters what I think haha. Are the new seats status?

[SHOdude]

Got the old brides still?
