On the front windshield? :eek5:
5% visibility?
Swapped in some new brake pads. The NG road course trashed my brakes and nearly took out the slotted/drilled rotors. But it was sooo worth it. Most fun I've had with the car besides when the wife and I go the beach with her top down!!
75%..C.aQuote:

5% tint means 5% light transmission through it. visibility is related, but not a direct function of it.
I still wouldn't be able to see a damn thing out the windshield at night
okey....Quote:

There is no night in iceland at summertime so IDGF...
I didn't realize that Iceland was far enough North for that, you don't drive the GTO during the winter, do you?
I drive the 4runner during the winterQuote:

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7317229_n.jpg 17X8, no name. dunno offset. they look decent tho. Car needs lowerd and some spacers.

I just wish it looked as good in person as it did in picture, The paint has no clear coat, or very little. so Very little shine and makes the paint look almost kinda fadded. I Sprayed the door jams with just Rustoleum Rattle Can Clear Coat, and it made the paint look so much better....I wish I could say all i need to do is take it down and have someone do a Urethane Clear, but its not that easy because from Before I owned the car, it was key'd and run into and scraped up against, the Drivers Fender, and Side Skirt both need replaced, and the passenger headlight assembly is all busted and bent. so it needs to undergo alot of body work, and a full repaint....which is ok, Cause I would like to see the car be repainted its original color (charcole) but I'm also considering intstead of painting the car, just saving the money and looking for a Nice Clean shell...perferable VR4... oh and btw, Love your sig haha.Quote:

I does look very good in the pictures man, I can also relate to that with my car. There are a lot of scuffs, bumps, and small chips out of the paint all over mine, however they never show up on camera lol. Red is also somewhat good for fooling the eye from a distance, I plan on repainting mine and having all the body work done as soon as I can. I might even be able to get to it over the winter months. I really like that color on yours though, if it were just a tad darker it would be perfect. But, I think all 3/S' should remain their original colors. Good luck with it man, hope to see many pictures of it if you get going on it.Quote:

I Want ONE NOW!
Tore my whole engine bay apart, painted stuff, cleaned stuff, made alot of stuff look very shiney, re wrapped some wires, fixed a few little things, pulled out my radiator and discoverd it had a leak in the middle of it, stripped the overspray paint off everything it was on in the engine bay so now it looks much cleaner. post pics eventually....
Today, I swapped the coolant caps in my Stealth and VR4 hoping that the one in the Stealth was stock. Apparently, that one was also aftermarket so I still can't install my new 3sx coolant cap cover. I have to get a stock one or shave the inside of the cover. Then, I grabbed my newly acquired polished coolant hoses from GZP and stared at my engine bay for several minutes before deciding I didn't feel like installing them today. That was my unproductive day in a nutshell. At least I cleaned out all my crap I had in there from NG.
Replaced heater hose + other coolant hoses, CC delete, vac tank delete, installed solid shifter cable bushings, & installed stainless intake piping.
reinstalled radiator so car was driveable, and put a bunch of stuff back together, also replaced alot of bolts with nice looking Allenhead bolts. looks good. I was bored lol XD.Radiator still has a hole but, should do fine as long as i top it off every once and awhile, and stay off the interstate....and I keep my foot out of MOST of the time ;)
I bought some Simple green and sprayed my engine bay, let it sit for awhile, then rinsed
Sprayed down again, and let sit for 10-15 mins, and rinsed again. Used almost a whole half gallon on it.
But cleaned my engine bay beautifully! I can see white paint!
very little is still left, but I will get to it. Its already a huge improvement. Im glad I did it
That stuff works awesome in the engine bay. Use a non abrasive brush and go to town. Let it sit for a few mins and rinse it off, and then blow the water out with an air compressor. Only thing I don't like is the spots it leaves behind on the plastic and polished pieces.
they paint i got with the car that was left over, had a gallon of "Reducer" in it which seems to be a Acetone\Xylene mix. It worked DAMN good for taking over spray, and corrosion and off the engine bay and parts. looks real clean now.
removed injectors and sent for cleaning.
I drove mine to work today, even though I'm not supposed to be driving her until the '95 has a for sale sign on her. haha
But I did clay bar the '95 yesterday. I'll be waxing her this weekend.
-John
Bought this for it

Unfortunately I need to remove the spoiler before I can try that.
I'm going to see how much I like it and if I even am going to keep it. If not then I may just turn right back around and sell it.
However, whenever, Bri. :)Quote:
