I was actually doing a fender chop for someone else and I did the whole CF red overlay an thought of you... lol

simota1 04-27-2012 08:13 AM

helper spring from lmbmikez came in!!! :D i THINK my kevlar console is in guam... ill figure that part out tomoro

simota1 04-27-2012 07:13 PM

update my red kevlar console is finally here.... the stupid mail man literally left it in FRONT of my house yesterday :shakes head: its a damn good thing i walked my dog this morning because i would have not known it was there all along since yesterday.... :facepalm:

only thing left im still waiting for is my TS cover but im in no hurry.... even if rhd says 4-6 weeks im expecting 2-3 months wait... its ok though itll be worth the wait.... :tup:update on my next mod.... ive been saving up now and i finally had enough money to order something again so :tup: i was gonna order the password jdm bat covers V2 from ebay... and then one of the FML moments happened.... so this morning i noticed the bed was wet because of the aircon leaking.... i was like hmmm... i just bought this thing like 2-3 months ago... wtf is it doing that? so i go to the back of it and look wats up... and i see all the water from the condensation is just pooling up all inside of the aircon... STUPID GE didnt put a hole so the water could escape... i installed the aircon tilting backwards a bit already but i guess the angle wasnt enough... and i dont feel like jackhammering the top of the wall so i could tilt it more ,so the only solution is to drill a hole.... i figure hey, ill just drill a small 1/8 hole should be enough to let the water leak out.... so i grab my cordless drill slap on a 1/8 drill bit and drill in the most corner part so i wouldnt hit any vital part of the aircon... and BOOM.... i guess the condenser core was all the way up on that corner also and even if i was drilling as careful and as slowly as i could, i still poked a hole on the condenser also :facepalm:..... all the freon spewed out!!!! lucky thing it didnt go on me...so now the money i saved will go to another AC.... sh!t wat a waste..... :shakes head: the funny part of this was it happened 5 mins after i found my package in the front of my house... i was all smiles and then decided to do the drilling and what a great way to start my day...

simota1 04-29-2012 07:15 AM

first off... my stupidity.... now i only took a after shot of the spring and not the part of the bushing which i kinked because at the time it occured it was no laughing manner lol... i was pissed beyond belief. the second photo is a pic of the dremel burr i used to grind away as much of the metal i kinked inward....now picture number 3 when the dremel failed because i could no longer maneuver it inward to get more of the blockage out.. i resulted in cave man technique.. i broke a file just so i could file the bushing in and out with the piece i broke off...i spent an hour doing this... i wanted to break that bushing off lol

and btw, check out my new thread! Project SuperNova :tup:

simota1 05-03-2012 03:21 PM

^^^^ ill check it out right now brotha

ive come to a color decision... with the wrap.... and this is it check it out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5QwZ9OEqDA

my car should look like batmobile :tup:... everyone here is doing flat black... which kinda killed it for me.... and wen you dont clean your car it looks like primer black lmao... at least ill be different and this looks like it has a sheen with a texture :tup:

when i told my wrap guy about flat red he gave me a look and said check out 3m they just came out with some brushed metal wraps it should look good on your z and pull in with your shop theme since you guys work with metal all the time

anthonyy 05-03-2012 03:24 PM

that is going to look sweeet

KaienZ34 05-03-2012 04:58 PM

It's going to look so mean....What other new colors did 3M come out with in this line? When Doc had he car wrapped in the frozen grey or whatever they called it, it was the 3m 1080. Are you doing the door jams or just the outside? I'm thinking wrap sometime this summer. But i'm unsure about outside and in or just outside cause it's cheaper.

simota1 05-03-2012 07:55 PM

im thinking of doing outside and in.... but for the underside of the hood and motor i might just shoot it flat black lol idk yet though... the paint in the bayside looks like a retarded maron so i dont think i have anything to lose

KaienZ34 05-03-2012 09:17 PM

KaienZ34 05-03-2012 09:47 PM

Here is 3M's brushed blue steel.

That's ironic, an aluminum bodied Corvette :stirthepot:... But, it would look good on your Z, at least the Z has some real aluminum body parts :tup: And of course, it will work nicely with your carbon/kevlar interior pieces!
