hahaha mine is the same way, i just gave up on painting it

Beautiful car man! Looked at it from start to finish. Any other plans for it?

[DylanM]

@Crazylegs; I have almost given up hahaha. I usually wait until the paint really starts to flake off or it is showing the primer along the bottom.

@Evan; Thank you! I am just trying to save up some more money before I start spending it. But the current plans are to buy a HICAS rear steer lock bar, rear upper control arms and some upgraded bits for the engine bay. Then I'll be upgrading to a front mount intercooler and hooking a boost controller up and run about 9 or 10psi. I was also thinking about switching to a 40 series rear tire compared to 45 and going to a 25mm spacer rather than a 20mm. We will see what the bank thinks about that though hahaha

Edit: Here is one more picture from the meet, showing how much abuse my lip goes through hahah.

A little update! I figured out why the car was leaking coolant and overheating.. cracked thermostat housing So I ordered a replacement housing a Mishimoto 62 degree thermostat and the difference is incredible, car will NOT heat up, even after hours on the highway to bumper/bumper traffic and 100% water in the rad. Very pleased! I also did the super cheap hood prop which I like the look of and removed my weather stripping on the lower windsheild trim to help with idle/low speed cooling.

I've been trying to clean the engine bay up, hide as many wires and lines as I can and keep it clean. I am going to replace my valve gasket soon as it's a bit leaky and re-paint the valve cover since it's a little bit marked up, anyone have any cool ideas for a paint job?

Anyways, here are two pictures from the other night, car looks nice and shiny.

your car is sooo clean!!!! I love everything about this..only thing I would change is the wheel color! And I happen to like the missing fog light!

also that rx is badass on those diamonds

[DylanM]

Thank you man! I'm still pumped on having such a clean s13 chassis, going to keep working on making it spotless rather than thrashing it. Although I just picked up a set of 17x7.5 wheels for super cheap for when I autox it. Going to paint them this week hopefully!

That rx7 is my buddy's, it's a super cool car. Custom suspension, notched frame and all.

Gaw damn your car is so clean. I'm really digging the all black engine bay. What is the emblem on the front bumper?

[Dietze]

liking how low she is, and my buddy was at that meet, yellow s2k not sure if you saw his car, it done up pretty nice as well as yours!

[DylanM]

@RawRsx: Thanks man! I'm trying to think of a colour idea for the engine bay but I am also a fan of all black. The badge on the front is an Illest piece.

@Dietze: I wish I could go lower hahah but this car is basically my only car in the summer so driving it around town is already a pain(I have to drive over at least 2 sets of train tracks anywhere I go and our tracks here are super rough. I saw a couple s2k's at the meet, is his car on work meister's?
