You must get alot of attention, orange VG. wow

 

I think it needs "01" on the doors and a confederate flag on the roof...

 

creative work on the front bumper but not my taste.

 

LOL...I was waiting for some smart *** comments...LOL

 

you like that, huh?

 

Thanks for the comment...I was wandering if anyone on this site was gonna like it...

 

Doesn't matter what we think, as long as you like it.

 

you should really ditch the orange and go with a dark color, like a gray or black even i think it would look better imo. also you nee dsome skirts to go with it to even out the lower line. it is clean tho and good bodywork molding in the front bumper.

and where did you get the body kit from??

 

Thanks for the comment...it's gonna receive a 2-tone either black/orange or gunmetal/orange...

The car was painted that orange back in 2002...It's a Lambourghini paint code w/ a gold pearl...So it deff needs some touching up...I'm working on some designs in photoshop right now...

I'm looking for some side skirts and a rear bumper for it...But I like custom work so I'm looking for a car w/ similar body length and width so that I can try to use there skirts and bumper. Anyone happen to know of any?

You can look at alot of the stuff I have done to my car and alot of stuff that is going to be done to my car by going to my CarDomain.com page in my sig.

The front bumper came off of a 2000 Suzuki Aerio HB.

 

what's the cut section on the bottom lip of that bumper for? also, the front end looks very 4th gennish... mebbe mod the grille so the bottom edge of the chrome grille comes to a slight point instead of straight across?

 

I told you i like the bumper. and you still need some fog lights in there.

 

goon how'd you make the final call to swap ends with everything? ie intake facing rearward and oil filler in front?

 

To be honest I have no idea what the cut section is for...Maybe a tow hook or something?
I'm not sure how I would mod the grill tho w/ out screwing it up...

And yes Ben I know you said you liked the bumper and yes I know i'm still missing the fogs...LOL I'm working on it all as soon as it gets nice out for more than a few hours...

 

Not sure what your trying to say. If your asking Why I did it, it was to use the bigger tb from a vg33e and the less restrictive manifold. I think it will look sexy when I'm done too . But if and when I do turbo it will truly be a benefit.

The TB had to go backwards to clear the hood, and the oil filler had to go in front because the manifold would cover it otherwise

 

QFT.

even if we don't like it, you do.

 

ya you understood my mangled words correctly. How sharp of an angle will it be getting a tube to fit onto the TB as it sits now? I figure you'd think nothing of cutting the tube as it sits and welding on another tube that points more sideways, so it's easier to get a hose on.

 

NISMOman69 were you ever in MN with that car? I swear I'v seen it at a tattoo convention or one of the same color.

 

Lol.... I donno orange cars are Rare in New Mexico.

 

MN is Minnesota
NM is New Mexico

 

tho vernk does live in new mexico, my parts car (from vernk) has a minnesota plate. just one b/c i ripped the front one off b/c i kept hitting my head on it

 

UMMMM...deff never been in MN...but if you ever see it again snap a pic. I'd like to see it.

Just what are you trying' to imply there goon?? LMAO

OH ok...LOL

 

Yes I'm in NM and lived in MN up till a few years ago.

 

I assumed that he when he said convention that it was somewhere other than the location listed in his profile

 

sweet ^.^

 

Sweet pics Stwodahorty

 

Wow Stwodahorty, thats one of the coolest 3rd gen shots I've seen.

 

Slowly but surely. I CAN'T WAIT TO ROLL AGAIN IN IT!..

 

well i guess i love mine too. even if it isn't quite as spit-shined as Goon's

 

Thats a Shiny hoist ya got there
Mine is a dull orange....

 

i have a shiny hoist and a dull engine
you have a dull hoist and a shiny engine
you win.

and the hoist was bought about 5 days ago which is why it looks so shiny.

 

Dam....The same paint scheme as my "90" maxima VG30E, except I didn't paint the distribution water pipe and my UDP is gloss black! Thanks for the picture of the rear camshaft covers I wasn't sure what else was attached to it! Now... I know!

 

if it's SOHC rockers you request, then it's SOHC rockers you shall receive!

 

Golden Lifters!? No wonder u sleep under it in pajamas...

One way to charge a small battery:

 

yea it's like a golden goose egg. I say goose egg b/c it makes 0tq at 0rpm..... broken timing belt. i'm taking what i can off it to put on my spare-good motor (which is going into my GXE, and my GXE's motor is going into the car whose rockers I took a picture of, that being the 89se5 superwhite... stealing its tranny too). painting UIM and wiping valve covers clean... (not like Goon's VG, just keeping the stock color scheme) taking spare injectors and matching the best set i can, etc. And keeping all the spare parts that "could fail" like disty coil, alternator, PS pump, FPR, and all sensors. Basically while i have the engine out and on a stand, I'm going to do everything I can do it before putting it back together. Only problem is... can I get to the rear main while it's on a stand and bolted into the tranny bolt holes (like this)? we shall have to see.

 

Goon you sir are ****ing nuts!

 

Ok, I have to ask.. What's your goal here?

 

I didn't plan on going this far. But I found alot of rotted seems from small fender bender i didn't know about. So it had to go and i wasn't going to put sheetmetal back in if i could help it. I know I got rid of a good deal of weight though.

 

how rigid is the new structure? it looks like it would flex alot but you can't always judge a book by its cover..
