bbs with green lips... update.
well latly I have been busy at work. here is some of my progress.
I have taken these wheels from rags to riches. heres some pics of the progress
First I had to remove all the old paint. This was teribly hard. Well since the paint which was actually powder coat. I had to go back and forth between sandblasting them and using a wire brush and aircraft stripper. This took many hours. after I got them all cleaned up I finialy got started on the lips. I went from 100grit to around the 600s and used a finishing pad to finish them. Then used some mothers aluminum and mag plolish to try and shine them up. Then they were off to the the car wash to do a finial cleaning befor I wrapped them.
Wrapping them took way longer than I thought. It took about 4 hours.
paper removed and rims sprayed all down with clear = sex
Now I have to wait untill I get tires and 10 mm wheel spacers.
which will prolly take a month. But that will give some good time for the paint to cure completly.
BTW, it took 3 cans of black and 2 cans of clear.
the other project. m30 afm + "i" throttle-body
here it is on the car.
My next step is to make an aluminum sheet metal box to keep the hot air out of the filter and to keep tweeking it till I find the max power. I also slotted out the backspaces in my grill to help air get back into the engine.
Here are some pics of my car after a good washing.
THE END
