Hotness

I'd be all over that.

I guess I'm just not a real man.

lol

**akley88** · 03-21-2010, 09:20 PM

you gonna paint the whole engine black

**subspec** · 03-21-2010, 09:26 PM

I'm not gonna do anything with the head. The pumps are gonna stay the same. Lol but everything on my car is gonna be black. With hints of blue. I think its gonna pop when its in there. The intake mani is gonna stay the same color due to being ceramic coated already.

**akley88** · 03-21-2010, 09:30 PM

that ought to be cool to see when its done.
you gonna weigh the car after wards to see how much of a weight drop you got from removal of parts

**subspec** · 03-21-2010, 09:35 PM

Yeah I'm guessing prob at least 300 lbs when done right now she prob is 800lbs lighter lol due to the motor being out lol.

**akley88** · 03-21-2010, 09:37 PM

just think how it would move if you could keep off 800 pounds when its done. youll be close to lotus elise and exige weight then

**subspec** · 03-21-2010, 09:42 PM

Lol. Yeah. It was semi light when I started. Only like 2600 lbs. So 2300 I think is where ima stand.

**klue** · 03-21-2010, 10:46 PM

I had gone through a stage where I removed all the sound deading in the car. Man do I regret that....
Realized over time that the headache it creates is not worth the 15 lbs you save.

anyway you put the camsgears on but you forgot the backing plate

**subspec** · 03-22-2010, 12:31 AM

lol klue there just temped installed on there. im pretty sure its more than 15 lbs.

**subspec** · 03-22-2010, 12:33 AM

well got most of the sound deadening out. fill up a good sized shopping bag lol.

heres some pics

heres a pic of a semi molded in fog light that i have installed. im putting it directly into the bumper.

dont mind the dirt. theres alot of dust around lol.

**klue** · 03-22-2010, 02:18 AM

good progress,
you will be joining the 3inch exhaust club soon haha

**subspec** · 03-22-2010, 02:41 AM

**akley88** · 03-22-2010, 07:27 AM

i like the way the fogs are most people dont go through that hassle to do that

**subspec** · 03-22-2010, 10:45 AM

**subspec** · 03-22-2010, 12:48 PM

Lol actualy I found goo gone to do wonders. Lol I didn't think it would work but goo gone is magic.

**melvinman2000** · 03-23-2010, 01:37 AM

Ya lack of sound deadening sucks when your on the phone or on a long trip. Id get a hawker odyssey battery and lose 35 lbs :) Theres so many useless metal pieces under the hood that hold wires. The under hood carpeting I ripped off. Its like the purposely wanted this car to go slow.

**subspec** · 03-23-2010, 01:44 AM

Lol. My engine bay is clean. When the motors in. That's gonna be the hard part. Doing a good wire tuck.
