The pics are kinda small... is it the same color as the car...?

[slowsrt-4]

yeah...sorry about the small pics...I'll get better ones posted tomorrow.

Yes..same color as the car.

Old old pic of the car....when it was whole and not in various pieces..

[Bloodline_rex]

I don't think it would look bad at all.

[Juice33]

Looks nice guy. I am not into the powdercoating the engine stuff the same as the car, but it looks pretty nice.

[slowsrt-4]

well it was either blue or black....and black is all over the car in the engine bay.

[ScrapinSi]

Its still a neon.

[slowsrt-4]

Its still a neon.

From front to back...top to bottom...inside and out.

That's why I'm so attached to her.

[xtreme121186]

looks good bro, i like it

[Stew]

Looks good. Next up, Wheels = powdercoat black.

[bpsrt4]

No he should buy my old ones...those 6" wide wheels are worthless :lol:

[slowsrt-4]

No he should buy my old ones...those 6" wide wheels are worthless :lol:

Speaking of which...that is what I plan on doing...AFTER I get my coilovers fixed....:squint:

[bpsrt4]

It will seriously take me 1-2hrs tops to get them off...intake mani will be another 15 mins

[slowsrt-4]

Ok...so when is a good time for you to come over?

[bpsrt4]

Saturday morning, or sunday

[slowsrt-4]

ok...I'll call you....looks like Saturday would be the best day.

[bpsrt4]

I'll double check the time of the wedding...I don't really want to go but...

[Eurospd87]

doesnt look bad!

[Rokkit]

Honestly, even though I was contemplating on being a dick and making a joke towards your Neon....

I do like it. Good addition.

:D

[aparadis83]

Looks good Steve!

[Stew]

You know if the car was running you could bring it to our garage for the coilover swap.

:D

My post exactly. Matching valve covers don't look bad.

I still prefer red tops for some reason haha.

[Thorn]

looks good, post some pics after the install

[NASA_Tuner]

it looks even FASTAARRR than before. I thought the blue SRT-4 was metallic. Did your valve cover get a metallic powdercoat?

[ScrapinSi]

Im telling you I can get your coilovers to break free. Doubt me all you want... I have tricks up my sleeve.

[slowsrt-4]

Im telling you I can get your coilovers to break free. Doubt me all you want... I have tricks up my sleeve.

Do they have to be off the car?

[ScrapinSi]

Nope. Even better if they are on the car.

[slowsrt-4]

Nope. Even better if they are on the car.

ok...you have a deal....when is a good time for you to come over the house??

I need to get a set of wrenches for the coilovers..but I know where I can pick up a set.

[bpsrt4]

Wrinkle black > * ...as far as valve covers are concerned.

Steve you still need help w/ the intake mani, etc

[slowsrt-4]

Brian...yeah...I need help with that stuff.

Wrinkle black is cool...but it doesn't "POP" like blue.

[bpsrt4]

Brian...yeah...I need help with that stuff.

Wrinkle black is cool...but it doesn't "POP" like blue.

My engine bay has more "POP" then you can handle LOL

So this weekend is good then?

[slowsrt-4]

Yeah...this weekend is perfect....how about Sunday since you have an engagement on Saturday.

[bpsrt4]

Sure...we'll see what time I wake up (open bar @ the reception)

[slowsrt-4]

I'll be here all day....so when you get up....give me a call.

I'll pm you my home phone number.....I dont' have cell phone service at my house...

= success.

[slowsrt-4]

ummm...I need to be able to use the coilovers AFTER they get fixed.....

and you wonder why your EVO never ran again....ROFL....just kidding.

[ScrapinSi]

You wont need the wrenches... There are two tools that I will need, and I will bring them with me... And no they wont damage the coilovers... But you just need to trust me... ;)

I might be able to swing by on Sunday either late morning or early afternoon... depends on when I finish painting my dads house over the weekend...

Should have went with wrinkle hot pink for the pop factor, and since you drive a skittle, it would have been acceptable. ;)

[slowsrt-4]

I thought about pink...then I thought people would get the wrong impression about me.....LOL

[bpsrt4]

Ouch...this coming from someone that drives a volvo :lol:

[Juice33]

Ouch...this coming from someone that drives a volvo :lol:

This coming from another skittle owner :tongue:

Don't worry though. I may be out of the Vulva soon and making skittles quiver in fear once again!:D

BTW 2 more posts until I hit 10,000! I will celebrate with a protein shake!

[xwtfbrendan]

*Helping LJ get 2 more posts*

What's next? M3?

[bpsrt4]

Why would I be scared of an M3?

It better be another terminator

[Juice33]

*Helping LJ get 2 more posts*

What's next? M3?

Right now I am looking at 3 very different vehicles. I may get 2 of them or I may get one.

Why would I be scared of an M3?

It better be another terminator

No idea why you would be scared of an M3, unless I got a Turboed one...

Probably not going to be a Terminator, although I have considered them, and still get wood when I think about my old one. The funny thing is they are still worth the same amount as when I traded mine in just over 2 years ago, I can't believe how well they have held their value.

9,999 posts one more to go!

Now let's get back to Steve's thread! I still say Hot Pink Krinkle would have been perfect for the Skittle!:tongue:

[bpsrt4]

it's taken me 4 months to go from 3,500 to 10,000....ROFL

Yeah, before the Memorial Day Meet last year I had like 6-700 posts...then I stopped posting a few months ago. So I had like 7,000-7,500 in like 6-7 months.
