obdriver6's 89 coupe update

[obdriver6]

Today my dad and me were working on the center part of the tail lights (don't know what it's called) cause it was all cracked and broken and this is what we came up for a fix.




And while this was out we decided to smoke them out.

[obdriver6]

Today I helped the guy finish assembling my car and it was a pain but we managed to finish. I'll see if I can post pics tomorrow.

[obdriver6]

Here is the my car finished. There were some details but they can be fixed but overall it turned out great.

There's my dad helping me clean it




There's the guy that painted my car.






Finally I have a painted hood and soo shiny

[obdriver6]

It feels SOOOO GOOOOD driving my car again, I was getting tired of my dads accord.

Here it is after I cleaned the wheels and vacuumed it.

Wow, turned out great but we need some bigger pics!

You need to drop that coupe and it will be super clean

[Dr_Snooz]

Looks really nice! Your guy matched paint much better than my guy did.

Thanks! I don't know how to make pics bigger but you can click on the picture and view them on flickr. I know I have to lower it but my dad wanted to cut the springs but I'm not sure or I could wait till a have enough money for sprint/tokico set up.

Thank you! It came out really good but its just a little bit darker.

Looks really good!

cutting the springs wont be 100% terrible, if you do it right but i believe it will be pretty stiff.
that thing looks really nice i cant wait to get mine painted.
but, if you cut the springs i wouldnt drive it for an extended amount of days and take bumps and stuff really careful.

[87roach]

Ah yes the flickr worked, thanks.

Damn it look's really good, very jealous of the mint status.

Thanks! I guess you're right, I could try cutting the springs for now and buy a proper suspension later. If it doesn't work out I can just switch to the spare suspension I have

Yeah now that its mint I need POWER!!!

Well I went to start my car today and it just cranked over. Turned the key again and the same thing happened. After doing my diagnosis I found out that the fuel pump is shot. I'll see if I can pick one up at the pick-a-part tomorrow. (I know, I'm cheap)

[Convenienze]

if you dont find a working on at the jy, i suggest buying one of these. ( i still suggest this over the jy. cause you never know how long a used one will work, if it works )
i bought my new pump from these guys and it works great.
brand new purolator pump for $40 total after shipping, which beats part stores like autozone by like almost $100..

I know what you mean, even a walbro is cheaper than the regular pump but thanks for letting me know but I really couldn't wait since I needed the car the next day. I did manage to find a good pump but its really loud so I don't expect it to last but it runs.

[Vick23]

hey nice car man i couldnt help but notice you live in nevada asuming in vegas right? well i stay up in nevada as well and have a 3g so hit me up we can help each other out and stuff bro

[obdriver6]

yep, sin city......yeah no problem

[Vick23]

alright cool man . what kind of front lip did you use for your car

[obdriver6]

I used an 89+ supra lip. Although it looks really good and its not exaggerated it was kind of a PIA to make it fit because it was in two pieces and it was a little longer as you can see from the pics. I wanted something different since a lot of people have the integra lip and also I already had it.

[knarg]

minty! though can't say i like the wheels, doesn't fit the car well.

[Doward]

Yeah yeah, can we get more details on the maroon MA70?? ('88 MA71 in my garage awaiting the engine hehe)

[obdriver6]

Its better than having steelies but once I lower it should look much better.

its an 87 MA71 but thats gonna be gone soon. I made a thread in the off-topic section about it. We have another 89 turbo and that one just got painted. You should put a 2jz in your supra.

[obdriver6]

Went to the jy the other day and this is what I found



It was pretty nasty but I'll get it cleaned up before I install it. The only thing that was disappointing was that the back plate that cover the screws is blue.

[obdriver6]

Well I managed to clean and install the arm rest I bought. It cleaned up pretty good but I will have to reupholster it.


Also my damn seat belt release button broke. I almost got to class late but as soon as class ended I took the release button apart so I could take all the little red pieces out. I did manage to fix it but now the cover is broken which I don't mind for now.

[obdriver6]

UPDATES: Other than the CA6 sticker, NONE! lol
Although my car has been running fine since I changed the fuel pump which seems weird cause usually something goes wrong every few couple of months, I guess I'm due! lol....but I did bring crappy phone pics, enjoy!

Still rocking the 4x4 look! lol






This is when I went to visit virtual works!

[dark_accord]

wow shes come a long way!! looking very sharp with the new paint and tails just need to lower it and it will be perfect

[Dr_Snooz]

Your car looks awesome! Really well done.
