Fixed the link!

 

Just ordered my coilovers and wiring up my e locker this weekend!

 

Did the ol heatgun trick, works pretty well!!!

 

I need this in my life.

My shit is faded.

 

Those magic clean erasers work too to take off the oxidation. I painted my lower valance with SEM trim black but I used the magic erasers on my side view mirrors, they look brand new now.

 

Yeah if you don’t have a heat gun a propane torch will work if you’re careful, also like the guy above mentioned you can use magic erasers as well.

 

Got my supercharger ported today, excited to see the results in a week or two

 

interesting.

Where at?

Pretty sure you're at the peak point of getting all you can out of the TRD blower on these motors. Not sure you're gonna see a big change.


AKA...time to turbo

 

We will see, if I get another pound or two that will work.
Essentially it will make the supercharger less restrictive at the input and exit port as both sides get ported and that means less heat more air flow.
I’m hoping for two more pounds of boost (12 pounds total) which means 25-30 more horses, we will see
It a gamble

Can’t turbo, this is my daily driver, supercharger is super dependable,

 

FYI I've seen a lot of questions about "how much does it take". One quart got me 90% of my very rusty frame, slopping it on with a 2 inch brush. I tried a hand spray bottle, too thick. I tried my HVLP spray gun, too thick. Both just came out in a stream.

I've also seen discussion about viscosity in orders from Amazon. Here is the one I ordered, and it was not overly thin, as some others have indicated on their orders.

$64 POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating, Stop Rust and Corrosion Permanently, Anti-rust, Non-porous Protective Barrier, 32 Fluid Ounces, Semi-gloss Black

Got my Morimoto ds2 4.0 retro finished tonight. 35w morimoto bulbs and xb ballasts. With color changing demon eyes. The cutoff is amazing! So much better than running led bulbs in oem housings. I’m sure my fellow motorists will appreciate it too

 

Got new tires. My old tires were so bad that my truck feels brand new now. Can't stop driving it

 

Dude... you must be s freaking psychic. I'm getting ready to paint a set of spindles and was just getting ready to ask how much Por15 people think I would need... lol

 

Mine is the original Mt Bachelor (56" wide) model from CVT. It retailed for $1000 but I got it for 30% off in a group buy. So $700 is what I paid 6 years ago.

 

the good ole days.

My shasta in that GB cost 1250....Shipped haha

 

Fun fact-

Those are actually an ancillary use of that material. Apparently it was invented to be a lighter seatfoam material for aviation.

 

Do yourself a favor and get EVERYTHING you plan on POR15-ing together, and ready.

Once you crack the lid on this stuff, the clock is ticking. You can try to reseal it with plastic film, but once it sees atmo, it's tick-tick-tick, time to go!

 

Should just paint it as it will fade again plus it'll look better black and not gray

 

Are they cockeyed or is it on an unleveled surface?
