    Late night head gasket swap at Lobstah's Garage

    I had been meaning to post these pics for some time now and just got around to getting them off my phone. See a description of the adventure here. I am hoping Lobstah will be able to laugh at this now as I dont imagine he found it very funny at the time. Again, I cant thank you enough man, you...

    Spray the tails?

    OK, so here are the pics. You may want to remove small children from the room when viewing the closeups as they are quite frightening. From a distance it looks pretty f-ing sweet in IMHO. Examples: However, as stated above, not all the coats went on as well as the first few and well ...

    Spotted!

    Today, exit 9 NB Rt 16 Somersworth NH: saw a slick badgeless blue STI, with flaps and a nice exhaust, Mass tags. Thing sounded EVIL. Almost as evil as the one I see here everyday with black wheels/crome lips, black hood scoop, aftermarket wing and niiiiiice muffler. Driven by a female...

    Spotted!

    Its very nice. I have only played one of the two they have, supposedly the pro course is pretty hard. Great scenery, very well maintained and a great clubhouse/shop. We should get a meet together for some disc golf.

    Spray the tails?

    I did. In fact I taped, sanded, primed twice, black 4 times and it was looking decent up to this point. However, the clear coat came out REALLY fast and went on SUPER thick. I had decided not to wet sand the black because it was looking pretty good. Once that clear got on there though it...

    Spray the tails?

    I did it today. Black semi-gloss went on a little sketchy so I switched to flat, better but not great. Clear coat went on like ASS. Wet sanding is needed as the orange peel is WAY outta control. haven't unmasked it yet, letting it sit overnight. This whole thing was a nightmare and...

    Spotted!

    Saw a blue STI on 25 in Westbrook today. Didn't get a good look at the car but got a wave from the driver who was wearing a black baseball hat.

    Official Ugly Car Thread

    Unfortunately there are 2 similar vehicles that I see almost daily in the Dover, NH area. They are making me strongly consider the afore-mentioned Eye Bleach.

    GT Badge from LGT

    I had my GT badge set aside after I took everything off because I was going to paint it and stick it in the corner of my new grille. However, my father in law decided to re-arrange the garage and in the process lost my entire bag of car detailing products, in which was all my badges. Is there...

    Spray the tails?

    Heheheh. Well, I have an appointment next week to have the tranny looked at. I already have all the materials for this, so ... why not? I beleive the reflectors are located in the tail light area that will be left uncovered. The red bar is just ugly red plastic ... useless. Just in case I am...

    Spray the tails?

    I thought of that. that's whats keeping me from doing it anytime soon (that and the fact that it may never be sunny again in Maine). I think it would be best to spray on a light coat of Nightshades to the areas that will not be covered and THEN paint the remainder over it, finishing...

    Spray the tails?

    I have always hated the stock tail light bar on my car. WAAAAY too much red. I have considered tinting it, but really I want it gone, or at least fully covered. Given that I have a couple friends who have gotten a lot of shizz from the fuzz because of their heavily smoked tails, I am considering...

    Tranny issues and other possible problems

    Hmmm. I think not. I do agree though that its time for service. Hopefully its a fix and not a swap. I am not interested in cashing out my 401k for a new tranny but I would pretty much have to if it came down to me needing one. Sigh ... with all the money I have put into this thing I could...

    DIY Grille Mod - Hasty Ghetto Version

    Thanks for the compliments, but you may change your mind when you see the closeups. I did not Bondo any part of the remaining frame and there are lots of marks and holes. Agreed. However, I have a concern about that. My car is 9 years old and therefore so is the sealant on the light...

    DIY Grille Mod - Hasty Ghetto Version

    All I have time to post right now are the before and after shots. I will post a step by step with photos later. This is a modified version of one that I saw on NABISCO (possibly here as well, dont remember). Mine cost about 1/2 as much took 1/2 as long ... and as expected looks about 1/2 as...

    Tranny issues and other possible problems

    So, it hasnt done the laggy thing much in the past few weeks. However, it has a new issue. Right around 2200 RPMs it makes an odd noise, almost like going over a rumble strip. I can feel a vibration in the pedal as it does this. Again, my fluids are fine, so it isn't that. Any ideas?
