Sprayed wrinkle paint on the valve cover. thumbsup.gif


pics or this didn't happen tongue.gif


oh it happened, just not on the engine in my car.
I'll put up pictures when I have the top end of my other engine back together.
Still working on a color scheme.


Proof.
Now I just have to decide what to paint the intake manifold and the throttle body..
Either flat black, semi gloss black, or do some more wrinkle.

I'm honestly thinking so cause I feel like it might look weird having the same color in different textures.

Today I......changed my valve stem seals using the following method:



When doing this make sure all the old valve stem seal material is removed or the new seal won't seat properly:



Note all the small stringy gasket material that is left behind when you pull the old valve stem seal off. After pulling the old valve stem seal with the long-nose pliers, an easy way to get this off is will a very small allen-wrench using the short side to hook the old gasket and lift it off. Also you have to make sure the new valve seal "clicks" into place. You can feel when it seats and you can also hear a small click. The Toyo-Valve stem tool is great and made the job a breeze. You have to have strong hands though so girlie hands beware laugh.gif laugh.gif you have been warned.

Today I painted my extra set of interior pieces metallic grey. Gonna wait a couple days to put them in so they're fully dried. Still not sure if I want to go with a painted interior or something else, I'll try it out for now.

I removed a bunch of trim today, I am planning on getting it Hydro-dipped. If that plan happens I'll send some photos to you wink.gif




And today I removed my door cards, installed the Tweeters (Thanks RoadRage), and removed my trim pieces. Tomorrow, the stock speakers and Tweeters get pulled out and brand new Clarion Speakers smile.gif

Hydrographics is my next option. I was thinking of doing it myself but I got a connection with a guy that can do it for pretty cheap so I may go that route eventually

Its expensive which is the main turn off... but if you can get it cheap that's awesome. Carbon or something more special? Celica inspired?


Well yesterday I got my new muffler installed (headers going on later... can't be bothered right now tongue.gif). Had my GoPro all ready for a video and the freshly charged battery was somehow flat and it has been pouring rain today.

I did however almost get run off the road 2 min after picking up my car. I thought I had hit, but I think it must have just come painfully close;

You should have taken her keys out of the ignition and thrown them into the bush.

Today I installed my painted interior pieces. I like how they look, very subtle and not too in your face. Also played with my camera a little bit
