    Dood, don't wet sand your hood. According to Adrian (mkymonkey), the paint shop told him you aren't supposed to sand carbon fiber hoods at all. Go ask a paint shop.
    Alas, no more 3gee. She was a wonderful car and will be missed..

    No more 92 hatch either! I go through cars too much.

    I work with a 25 year vetran painter.........we wet sanded before we cleared. The hood has a gelcoat and needs to be at least scuffed before clearing. Sides.....it turned out great, and I don't have to worry about the cf fading now.
    If you look close too, the hood has a shit ton of FX pearl in it too.

    Yep, it's 2 1/2 with the pinch forks modded. So it's 3 inches in the front, and 2.25 in the rear.
    I have Koni reds in the front and Tokico HP blues in the back.

    Yeah thats a good set up. I see why you needed those camber kits cause I have 2.25 sprints in the rear and it threw my camber off -2 degrees.

    What did you use for the front for camber correction?

    How much did you pay for the fronts? I've been looking for some and they are a little pricey from the websites I looked at.

    Don't think I'm going to put the lip back on. The pacesetter will be soon. Along with the short shifter too. And my big brakes, and rear disks........ect........ect.......
    You know how it goes, I don't have time for the car anymore, I have the motorcycle now.

    Re: Been a while..56K, no way


    Here is a primer shot. Before paint, we didn't work on the fenders because I used my z3's.
    I am going to get some engine shots today for you Cheese.
    It is painted now guys. Thats an old pic.
