That was exactly what I was thinking, sweet!

I guess it's kinda confusing talking about 3 different cars and how they're coming along in one thread.. lol

But thanks for all the nice comments and support guys :)

Re: My projects
 
Kittay, you got me jealous, 2 nice projects.

Can I ask what the specs are on the 255 wheels/tires? Backspace/width/size?

kittay 04-01-2008 01:31 AM

Re: My projects
 
The 5zigens are +35 offset. 17x9.

I actually have 3 projects :) But thanks. I have a silver GSX- my dd.. The black cherry- weekend warrior.. and the silver Talon- the race car w. 4202

But figured you guys would appreciate this photoshop for the Talon.. to go along with the pink wheels and VC:

Thanks :)

Last night I got the TB disassembled and soaking in solvent, needed a rebuild. Stoked since I'm learning all this new stuff :)

My head's all ready to go:

Just waiting on gaskets now..

Re: My projects
 
Did you throw any assembly lube on the cams in the head? I don't see any. The aluminum scores quite easily up there! Are the pistons in yet?

kittay 04-07-2008 04:46 PM

Re: My projects
 
I lubed it up :)
In the second pic with the VC you can see the assembly lube at the bottom. Don't worry I get very particular about ensuring it was clean enough and all. lol
Bottom end's all finished up, got most all of my gaskets today, rest comes in this week.
Spending 200$ just in gaskets.. :ugh:
