Black ruby pearl is so FTW...
That's what color my car is originally... It's a big fight in my head choosing between that and 6L9 green mica.... grr. paint is such a hassle!

looks fantastic btw

 

[Justin727]

Looks amazing! When I was mixing paint and doin all that good stuff i mixed a pint for my engine bay when i get ready to spray it. Its that paint code 205 iirc but instead of puttin ruby red pearl in it i used blue! It looks beautiful!

 

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

I like that ruby black pearl.

I like that ruby black pearl.

You must be really smart. :icon_bigg
Thanks all for looking!

90, paint it black, maybe put some green flake in there if you need to.

Justin. Where you been? You are the man if you can paint all that with a pint! Wow. I sprayed two quarts of color, and 1 plus of clear.

Basically, I've just been cleaning my nuts. and bolts and brackets too.

No cam news. I really hoped/expected something today in the form of reassurance. I assume Brian Crower is hard at work filling the order he committed to.:1zhelp:

So things are going back together. In case you have not been following along, here is a before/after shot showing a little actual progress.

 

[TurboFreak]

I love your car. Period.

 

[tookwik4u89]

So you're just gonna clean your nuts til the cams come in Paint looks great man!

 

[buckshotglass]

So you're just gonna clean your nuts til the cams come in

Pretty much.
I wish I was looking at a tracking # instead of polishng my nuts more.:3d_frown:

Freak, Did you find a shell? What's the big plan down there??

 

[TurboFreak]

No shell....yet. (dont wanna thread jack but you asked)

The plan is to buy a shell, no matter the condition but i have decided it must be targa. I'm in college right now so the plan is to get the shell all cleaned up and prepped for a full rebuild. Still contemplating building up a 7M with a fast spooling turbo or just going the 1jz (Big single turbo) route. The interior will be put back to dark grey factory but will have Sparco Evo seats and momo steering wheel, and various neccesary gauges. Exterior will be the bomex three hole front lip, and the rest of the bomex kit. Either Bronze 18" Volk TE-37's or Work Meister S1's. Some crazy offsets, and stretched tires. Paint has got to be Jade Green Mica. Suspension will be Tein Coilovers,Koni Struts, A-1 stuff. Most of this stuff will happen when I graduate college and get a real job. Haha...[/end thread jack]

6L9 Green Mica is almost exactly what Black Ruby Pearl is.
Black basecoat with green mixed in with aluminum flake. I got my Bomex mirrors painted that color to see what it looked like, and it's amazing.
I may tone down the green a bit, so it wont stand out as much and basically just be the green version of the ruby pearl... hawt.

anyhow, amazing.

 

[buckshotglass]

You guys almost talked me into it, but for me there is no turning back. I bet the green mica rocks.

Today is a day of rest. Hopefully not for Mr. Crower, as I'm sure he is eager to please his customers, and is spinning cams as we speak.:icon_conf

 

[supra90turbo]

Here's to hoping. I'm in on that GB as well, however, I've got many more things that need purchasing before I need cams, but I needed in on that GB, and it'll pay off later when I'm piecing engine parts together.

 

[group a supra]

buck shot nice dog not sure about the brakes lmao:biglaugh:

 

[rs4buddy]

Thanks for looking. I only had a few more.

this is what I cut off the parts that came with the gauges

If your heatgun has an end piece to pinpoint the hot air, I think that would make things safer damage wise, and easier. I did it without one. I wanted one so bad I tried to make one from some metal tape used on furnace chimneys, but that didn't work at all.:icon_conf

If you have specific questions, feel free to ask.

cool, umm also wondering, if i cutt off the backking of the cluster, just where the oil and turbo gauge is, will it effect any other part of the cluster? for example the gas gauge and whatnot. because theres the green plastic behind it, do i cutt that also?? just hope by cutting the white backing, nothing else gets effect.

thanks
jason

90- I just really want my cams. :icon_bigg I totally bought this car based on the group buy. Everything engine wise is waiting on me having those cams. I'm sure Brian is making them as we speak, and I won't shoot the messenger(HPF Eric,) as it's not his fault. anxious for more info...

Group A- Nice dog...mean brakes:evil2:

rs4bud- I didn't cut the back off, I drilled holes, just read the first pages. There are some close ups in the later pages. Carefully roll up and tape the green electric stuff out of the way, before you drill the holes. If you aren't changing the gas gauge, things should still work, I hope, I haven't tested mine yet.:icon_bigg But I may switch that too in a few days.

 

[rs4buddy]

cool, im gonna give it a shot, i just have to roll up the green electrical stuff and cutt the white backing right? thanks a bunch

Yes, if you do not damage the flexible circuit board, the rest your stock gauges will work fine. I had to cut out large holes in the back of my cluster behind my gauges, and had to tape the flexible circuit board out of the way and my gauges still work.

 

[buckshotglass]

thank you Jimi.

no cam news yet, BTW.

 

[rs4buddy]

thanks a bunch!

 

[buckshotglass]

[TurboFreak]
