Damn sir those look good. Care to paint mine?

[Doug]

17 year olds are going to be SUPER IMPRESSED!

Um, ok

A local guy just painted some rims and they immediately got fucked up.  Any tips/tricks to pass along?

Pay someone to do it right

Damn sir those look good. Care to paint mine?

Care to pay? 

[Teg2boo]

What kind of paint did you use?

[Jorsher]

What kind of paint did you use?

duplicolor

Do you take food stamps?

[Doug]

duplicolor

Negative. Rustoleum metallic silver. I went to five stores and only that last one had metallic silver, but was in Rustoleum. The only other metallic I could find anywhere was gun metal, but didn't want that. I would have liked the Duplicolor wheel paint, but as said they didn't have it. Also it was $6+ a can VS the $3.50 I paid for this

Do you take food stamps?

No they refuse to let me cash them in for alcohol.

In that case how many 12 packs to paint my wheels?

12 Packs would cost too much to ship, I accept all spirits though.

Yeah it took me about 6-7 hours for all the prep work and masking. Painting took all of 10 min.

The teg is now sitting on 99-00 Si wheels as of 10:30 PM. I was supposed to meet the guy and he offered to throw some cash on top. Due to my driveway being on a pretty steep slope I didn't feel comfortable leaving it on stands as I could hear them popping and the car moving slightly. He ended up driving almost two hours each way and traded straight.

They have brand new Bridestone Potenza 195/50/15s on them. I think they look a little too small for the teg, needs a 195/55 series tire. Would be perfect for a Civic though. Might end up trading them also haha

I requested it be moved since I would just keep it updated instead of making another "build thread". I didn't specify where to move it, Jago picked the venue. Thanks nonetheless.

Oh, doing a turbo build?

I know where there's a garrett T3 getting dusty...

[Doug]

Got the rest of them on after it quit raining. They ride a lot better for sure. No scrubbing so that's good.

[2slow]

those taillights are the BOMB. you shouyld goto vatozone and buy the tint paint. i did it on some gay altezza taillights that i had and it made a world of difference

Yeah I had bought some OEM ones on eBay at the beginning of March, but they didn't send them and wouldn't return my messages. PayPal finally refunded the money yesterday so I will be getting some more soon. Some guy semi local is interested in trading mine and those white face gauges I stripped out plus like $20 for his stock ones. Seems like a logical plan to me.

[2slow]

yeah i love trading ricer shit for shit that ricers throw away (i.e. stock good looking shit)

[Doug]

Yeah it's pretty funny actually. He bought some stuff from me for his Civic. When we met up he was asking about the teg (at which point I had just bought it like two days before). I was telling him about it and mentioned getting rid of the gay tail lights. He responds with yeah I don't know why anyone would buy that ugly shit.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and I take out those white face gauges. I put them on CL and he text me saying he bought a Integra and wants them. I jokingly say why don't you go ahead and let me get those stock tails. He agrees which shocked me after his previous statement. Damn ricer in disguise. 

[Doug]

Well I got bored and decided to have the Vibrant muffler I was selling put on instead. Fits better and seems a little quieter. I'll eventually just get a full stainless catback replacement as mine has 2.5" catback with no resonator currently.

The CRX deserves better things in life than an old, small T3.

As long as it's quieter than the brain-shaking old one, it's an improvement.

[Doug]

Yeah it's a little quieter. It isn't as quite as I would like though. I know they cut the resonator out, so that has to do with a part of it. When I had the new full catback ran on the EF hatch I told them not to worry about the resonator and I noticed it got quite a bit louder and raspy.

[Doug]

Finally, just when I thought the day would never come

[Doug]

Oh yeah, and at one point I dropped the wrench behind the plastic panel and had to dig it out. In the same spot as the wrench I found a bag of plastic washers and this picture

[glustic]

What the shit, why can't she be nude???


Cars looking good, even though you doug'd me out of that muffler.

I really don't want to waste 6 hours of my time re painting my wheels, too bad your not local doug, I would take you to the liquor store after you finished my wheels. Drinking + sanding + painting doesn't work to well. Haha

Where's the snail??

[Jorsher]

Where's the snail??

It's over here where the CRX has been sitting for over half a year.

He keeps making excuses to not pick it up.

Yeah haha, this muffler fits better the way the bumper is "cut out". I will probably end up putting it back up for sale once I pick up a catback on the cheap. Yeah to be honest I would probably have to have have a few shots before I started doing wheels again. All the little "nooks and crannies" make prepping them take forever. Not only that, but it took longer for me because someone had done a crappy job before and I was sanding out damage. If your wheels aren't damaged and haven't been ghetto painted it should be easy.

You have more of a reason to buy it than I do. Your car is built for turbo. IF I decide to keep the car I will eventually get another car to have as a toy. I went through the trouble of building my daily driver with no spare car when I had my EF hatch, screw that, never again.
