StewCrew Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Whoever said those tire sizes wouldnt stretch on your wheel widths is out of their mind. I wanna see them in person! Are they at your house or the dirty-30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 You know exactly who would have told me they wouldn't be a stretch. Lol Thou who hast not posted today.

The Full Banana Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 the wheels are cool, but the tires are unfortunate at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I got a little done yesterday. The carbon was CAKED on. I had to let the alcohol soak in multiple times. I ran out of scotch brite pads so I will be finishing up Saturday. Before: After an Hour: I'm trying to think of an easy way how to get the rest of the carbon out of the reliefs. Here is how I had to leave off yesterday: It was way too cold and rainy to try and paint anything on my rear subframe too=/ In excellent news, the wheels got their first coat of powder yesterday. They would be done, but Shaun ran out of clear. Not a problem. They should be all done next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 what are you using to get the carbon build up off? I.e. using a scotch pad to get it off the face of the cylinders, use a screwdriver/plastic puddy knife as an edge to get it down in the reliefs.

Earl Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 All I've used so far is red scotch brite and alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 use a plastic putty knife to get in the reliefs, put the scotch pad down, then use the edge of the putty knife to get the pad in the relief and scrub like a mofo. I'm sure using just the putty knife would work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thank you. Kyle will be out Saturday to check my head and my cylinder bores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 use some carb cleaner or what i used to clean all my engine parts was diesel. it works just like the chemical used in a parts washer. like brian said use a plastic putty knife of a screwdriver just don't dig really hard and gouge the piston.

Earl Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I was just looking through old pictures yesterday and found a few that I don't think I ever posted. I cannot wait for the car to have a fresh coat of black=) I should have also cut my bumpstops way back when. It definitely sat too high. Definitely needed spacers too. Oh well=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewCrew Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It's crazy how different the car is going to be once this is all done. And I thought it was cool in the pictures you just posted 0.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
