My DA was stolen on 11.6.2011
Picked up a White DC4 LS for 2800$ on 11.25.2011
Photos from Day 1:
Engine bay:
Photos from Day 2:
Popped off the hubcaps, took off the steelies to paint them and also painted the calipers while I was at it.
Before:
After:
While taking off the steelies, one of the wheels studs snapped. So Day 3 was spent fixing that, and painting the valve cover/installing intake.
Valve cover taken off:
Paint stripped valve cover:
Sanded and got to painting:
Beginning of Day 4:
The pink valve cover was one I picked up to keep stuff from getting into the head while I was painting the real cover.
Replacing the valve cover gasket, and putting the newly rattled valve cover on.
Bad cell phone pic... Didn't want to grab my camera.
Here is how it sits now:
Me and my buddy's NA6C Miata.
When I was lowering the back end, 2 of the bolt heads broke that go throw the strut/lca. So me and some friends had to cut the strut, and punch the bolt. Pain in the ass!
Replaced the rear shocks, so now I have to work them in... As of right now it sits embarrassingly high.
Update as of 3/12/2012
New Gold LCA's and camber kit put in.
Slammed on coilovers!
Definitely need to saw these down...
It's dirty, but it's lower.
Gold LCA's, and the orange tow hook (getting repainting gold)
Closed all the wheel gap.
Nasty engine bay... This is the next project.
Lowered again.
More to come later!
