Tristin Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Haha no... I want to be the only one with a dope cover. Every valve cover I've powder coated in like 7yrs. has been wrinkle black. Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Full Box Flare, LOL Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Mini Hood pins are in. clean and over 500lbs support. Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 opinions? of course the bolts will be stainless steel, so that will add some contrast. not taking the time to pc or paint each one and not using oxide bolts. Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 found some mirrors that i love. the trick will be whether or not to mount them to the fender or the conventional way. they are rounded boxes so it should suite the care nicely. and there fully adjustable which is a plus.

oldschool80sguy Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Radiator with top neck moved to right. Original caps found in descent condition. so ill have some extra aluminum ones. Quote Link to comment
BayArea510 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 they look nice. They remind me of the batmobile. The mesh does get lost with the super fat lip color matched. opinions? of course the bolts will be stainless steel, so that will add some contrast. not taking the time to pc or paint each one and not using oxide bolts.

BayArea510 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Looking good by the way its refreshing to see another box flared getting a facelift. Is this a full track/race car?! Just a little puzled about removing the spare well. Your color choice is great the metallic flake will make those flares pop out. What are the spec on that motor? Quote Link to comment

This will be a street build with a hard suspension for some track days. the removal of the well was completely just due to taste for me. #1 It will never hold a spare for my setup. #2 I wanted to see the rear diff from behind the car and the coil overs. I really reinforced the area to make up for the loss of rigidity. 3 lengths of 1x3 square tube with 14 gauge steel plate. looks sorta clean and stock inside the trunk. Quote Link to comment

I agree about the webbing and when the wheels are PC'd and all together i will make a judgement call on maybe highlighting the top of the webbing's with another color. the 2.4NAPZ is stock with port matching. running 44 Mikuni's on it and header. not the fastest engine. but simple and light. I just wanted torque, don't need to brag about my HP or top end. Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Saw the car today to test fit radiator and fender mirrors. all went smoothly. should be off to wet sanding shortly. but not in a rush. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I like this build. Supercharge that motor! Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I like this build. Supercharge that motor! Supercharge a NAPz? Well if I do get a VG33 in the future i may attempt the supercharged version. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Anything above the 1.8 liter can run a supercharger and not have the parasitic drain affect the performance. Well not anything but this z motor you have would be awesome on a centrifugal supercharger, easy to install, no extra exhaust tubing or inter cooler, no bov, and extra 5-8 lbs of boost. Fuck yes Quote Link to comment

Spoona_Jay21 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 oh! on a side note, what are those 4 spokes that are on there at the moment??? Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Spoona I'm not exactly sure. Borrowing from a bud. There 13's I believe and we suspect Toyota. Please let me know if you find otherwise. Quote Link to comment
