Doc's KE20: - really coming together now

[The Doctor]

they came from ebay, thailand.

the engine bay will be painted, i think i'll make it black.

[robokill]

Don't make it black!!! sucks ass get dirty. just make it the same white

Have you figured out what to do with the arches now ?

[The Doctor]

buy new and better ones, but i'm waiting for the fucking yen to drop!

And another vote for white. OK for us, we don't have to do the work

I picked up a Jap Engine manual this week but have to wait for it to arrive on the boat, and recently received my parts book and some brochures.

Still watching for those steering arms, crappy exchange rate or not.

[Allexz]

why cant i see the other pics???!!?!?!?! want to look on the whooole thread!

[The Doctor]

my host is broken

i tried to email the helpdesk, but i think that's broken too!
I had no problems at all for the last 4 years, but last few months they are playing russian roulette with my acount i think. It's more dead then a live

Doc,

Progress is going good man, really cool to see it coming along so nicely.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon aswell and say black is a bad choice for the engine bay but for a completely practical reason. A white inside of an engine bay makes it much easier to work as white reflects the most light and basically makes it easier to see everything. So when you need to fix a hard to reach bolt, or are working in a badly lit garage, a white engine bay really helps.

Besides, the car is already white !

What about stretched tires? Are you going to stretch a set of tires on those deep dished rims?

BTW: I stumbled upon this failed attempt to stretch tires on some steelies for a 200sx driver:

I clearly hear you making bad jokes here, but I don't hear Dennis... Wasn't he there as well? >

[D.Wars]

nope... i know that guy, but i wasn't there..

[The Doctor]

me neither

and i'm going to use 195/45/13 on the rear wheels

Stretch FTW
