i have to say, i do agree that it shoulda been done a bit different, but i put down the light grey color then just walked up to it with the other colors and just started spraying. sprayed till i saw a line that i liked, then moved to another area, or color. this is a quick fix rattle can job. this is what it looked like before i rattled it:

please, no comments about how rediculous the rims are. i was putting camber wear on a friends tires instead of my own. i know how rediculous they are.
black, white, light and dark grey look better than maroon, yellow, 2 shades of grey, and brown... but that's just my opinion.

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZkMzF5NTQx.jpg

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZkMzF5NTQx.jpg

what i have left to complete:

clock turbo
tap oil pan
find half size radiator
cut and weld together the charge piping
reposition wastegate flange so that the tial 38mm clears the hood
cut and weld together the down pipe which includes the v-band flange, O2 bung, and a transition pipe from 4"-3"
chip ecu(needs eprom and serial port installed. also, review chrome basemap[12psi])
install, tune, boost.

my goal is 300whp on 93 pump gas with arp head studs as the only engine modification. the engine is a b18a1 with b18b cams and intake manifold.

can i get a HMT review fellas?
