Dumb Ass Teenager Turbo/Body Work/Respray Learning Experience Build Thread

[Jafxod]

Anyone have any advice about where to get pain. I decent want quality but it doesnt need to be OEM. I will prep it to near perfect and I know thats the crucial part to getting a good finish.

what suspension is that? Not sure if you mentioned it earlier in the thread, but i couldnt seem to find it.

Bilstein Sports with the GC coilover conversion kit with 400/550 spring rates.

Is it loud? I hope so.

Yes but only when I have the car opened up of course. I love it.

For anyone stopping by this is what my car looked like pre-turbo/body work




Sticking with the same suspension, wont be much different besides some front valance changes, roll bar, fresh paint, and rust delete haha

Nice like what 24v stuff? Almost everything is already available. I've been thinking about going 24v on my zinno car after I graduate this month and get more moneys. Only thing is I don't have my own garage yet.

Check out my Mid-Pipe feeler thread. We want to offer low price exhuast options so dudes can swap there car without ever needing to weld or go to an exhaust shop. The rest of the stuff is still top secret for now haha.

Yeah man I missed out on alot of what sounded like great east coast meetups this past year due to my car constantly being not driveable/unpresentable. I really wanna spread out and hang out more with the community and I cant wait to bring the car out to meets and shows this summer. Especially becuase me and my buddy are thinking about bringing some really innovative new 24v swap products to market it help people out.

You are digging deep!

Live once.


You know your doing something right with your life when you wanna keep doing it until you cant keep your eyes open and you are so exhuasted you fall asleep right away when you get in bed and have a smile on your face.




People weren't lying about prep being tough. Physically it isnt terrible but you end up obsessing over getting it perfect because you know you only have one chance to get it right. I barely got the hood done after working for several hours. And thats just the intial sand to get the paint chips smoothed down lol.

Also can anyone confirm these injectors will work?

They look fine to me. I'd double check that they are the right style plug though. (They should be)
