DelSolSweetie Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 sol might not have stars too much longer im tired of people who are paid to paint not being able to paint (the back bumper that just got painted in october is peeling.. it looks like they didnt scuff or prime the bumper) so i might just get someone else to respray the entire car white/gold pearl and fix the couple things wrong with the front end conversion too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injectedPois Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 like peeling off completely.. you can see samba underneath the peeling paint most likely it wasn't prepped properly.

DelSolSweetie Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 the back bumper? other girls insurance sent me the money and i gave the shop the money.. cant remember exactly.. my bf is taking the car to ANOTHER shop tomorrow to see about getting the whole thing repainted and it wasnt prepped properly at all.. theres no way.. and its supposed to be a great shop with a great rep but i have a feeling they are going to be firing a prep guy soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanebot90 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 where has the BF been? i haven't seen many posts by him. he's one of the only other intelligible posters here. lately these forums have been moot of any good advice or information. It's been getting bad, actually. I feel bad for all the newcomers that come here asking for help and get a lecture about how everything is on www.google.com.

DelSolSweetie Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 rb25det!!! duh lol ill probably leave it stock for a while except a boost control, high rev kit maybe, and a tune, maybe a new clutch my brother in law has a damn near fully bolted on 25 in his 280z.. i cant compete with him lol guy i know has hubs/rotors/lines/aluminum calipers off a 300zx.. probably picking those up.. i doubt he'll over charge me.. waiting on a price from him and overkill is hard to reach when i want it to go on course like this one: and shane: he gets on sometimes but normally ends up mad at something someone stupid said and goes to his Z forums lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tko Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 thread title = fail but have fun with the 240, i like them but have seen my fair share get beat by hondas Only Honda that will be that 240 is a super GT car or FXM Dev NSX but only forward not reverse (inside joke). alex37211 Posted Yesterday, 06:04 PM z32 tt brakes are overkill. Q45 brakes are the way to go. Save money and have hella stopping power. Are you going rb20 or 25? How much power are you planning to make? Not overkill at all like Sarah showed CMP will destroy brakes. The larger rotors should be able to dissipate heat better, The power I assume you are referring to is possibly clamping force and this too will be fixed with a z32 master cylinder. Not only that but by using a more popular rotor pad combo the availability of more pad compounds are opened up to us. This is wear the real stopping power is made. I will be talking to AMS in canada who is sponsor/supplier for my brake pads on my 350 about a nice set of carbon ceramic pads for the s13. Don't worry tho the q45 has plenty of parts for the taking cough TB cough.

It's been getting bad, actually. I feel bad for all the newcomers that come here asking for help and get a lecture about how everything is on www.google.com. Very busy sadly I'm hoping that next week things will ease up and I can get some projects done, and relax. I seem to be working alot and having to deal with other peoples frack ups on my days off (bad bumper paint job and stupid ass home owners insurance company that wants to cancel my policy over a tree that doesn't exist ect ect). Sarah is right tho if you can google it or read it out of any basic manual I most likely wont answer you. I see no reason that I should put effort into something that the poster wont.

BrIaN EG2 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Only Honda that will be that 240 is a super GT car or FXM Dev NSX but only forward not reverse (inside joke). umm sure... seeing that i hang with my friends SR20DET 95 240... umm okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanebot90 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 umm sure... seeing that i hang with my friends SR20DET 95 240... umm okay sounds like a weak ass sr20det. probably completely stock . stock SR's aren't great. what's so popular about them is their affordability, availability, and potential. they can make some serious power really easily, but stock they really aren't up to the hype.

DelSolSweetie Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 couldnt go pick it up last night.. guy couldnt find the title.. said its in his moms safety deposit box and has to wait on her.. we were not driving to florence (an hour or more away) to pick up a car without the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 just cause you hang with your sr20 friend doesnt mean a honda will beat it lol no a honda wouldnt beat it but there was only a 350hp 07 Si with spray that was running with modded 5.0 mustangs and a bunch of other boosted b and k series hatches that would have raped it.. but yeah a honda wouldnt beat it... nooo :- lol sounds like a weak ass sr20det. probably completely stock . stock SR's aren't great. what's so popular about them is their affordability, availability, and potential. they can make some serious power really easily, but stock they really aren't up to the hype. not completely stock but not insanely modded either and when we ran i didnt have my vtec yet. id like to run him again to see where i stand now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanebot90 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 so he had what? an intake and exhaust? so he was maybe making 175-180 rwhp? good job try a blacktop with a gt28 that's making more than 7 lbs of boost. and make sure the 240's shell isn't the older single cam hatch, they are a fair bit longer than the dual cam hatch body, and a bit heavier.

DelSolSweetie Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 lol @ shane sr's are overrated.. EVERYONE does that swap and they dont get much out of it brian.. next time your in south carolina ill let you line up next to my brother in laws z car.. we'll see how you hold up hahahahaha oh and depending on year/model of the 'modded' 5.0 mustangs.. they probably were not pushing very much either boosted hondas are another story... IF DONE RIGHT they can be quick.. but they have to have aftermarket things done to them.. i can put the STOCK rb in my car and probably still beat most of them unless they have a good bit of money invested and a great tune.. which means they have ~5-10k invested just motor and i spent $2k on my motor/tranny etc and still kick their ass? hondas were not made to be race cars.. nissans are perfect for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanebot90 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 mmm... 5.0 mustangs. i still really want one. it's so easy to build those beasts to the 350+ rwhp mark with just some head work and an exhaust. at this point, building old civics are overrated. only older honda i would want to build at this point would be a crx. just because they look so funny.

Tko Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 What is the deal with Honda drivers bragging about beating 5.0's? It's not a very fast benchmark. Most are choked to death by emissions regulations And putting an sr in a 240 is like taking a 6 cylinder mustang and putting an 8 in it dosnt make it fast just makes it the right base platform.
