I wonder how they got all the blue paint on there and not all over the engine bay? they must have painted them off the car

yeah...we did it out of the car... lol

 

[yamahaSHO]

it was a quick 30 sec paint job..... i dont care how it looks that much....

Apparently, as it would look better unpainted. If you're not going to take it off an paint it correctly, I honestly do not see the point in painting it at all.

If the rest of the work is like the paint job, there's hardly anything to be impressed by. Putting a turbo on a car isn't exactly that hard.

Yes, you can clean, strip, repaint... But why create all the extra work and the possibility of effing something up in the process?

One word... Yikes.

Good job of making something that works, although it's not pretty but it gets the job done.

Like a pack of wolves being thrown a peice of meat.. lol geez

Reguardless, he's got something I dont have, a working TURBO. Paint can be fixed, what happens if he paints the car blue to match? Anyway.. its not what I would do, but still. Be nice! lol Didn't your mothers teach you anything.

p.s. you really shoulda pulled that outta the car before you painted it. lol

The color isn't the issue, it is the matter in which it was appllied...

if you have followed my project... it cost me a total of 200 bucks give or take... so yeah its gonna look like **** but it works perfectly.

^I think some of us just believe that if you're going to do something , do it right.

If you don't have time to do it right, when are you going to have time to do it again?

 

[TT SHO PROJECT]

well thank you for being nice about it... yes i know what i should of done... but it will take me no time at all to redo it and make it look good.... but for me i am Not a Ricer... i could care less how the car or engine looks as long as it runs good and is fast..

Like a pack of wolves being thrown a peice of meat.. lol geez

time is never an issue for me.. its money... i only had 200 bucks to spend on it to get the job done. i did the job "right" it works perfectly.... doesnt look that good but thats not the point.... when building something u build it to function right..... who cares how it looks this aint a show car and never will be

Well eff you too.

The turbo work isn't what we were commenting on, it's the paint. I don't percieve that as "I busted my ass on it", when the piping wasn't even removed to paint it.

For $200, I'm sure that's a fun, yet limited turbo setup.

 

[n8rsk8r]

Being a painter, prepping is everything, I know how you feel though, the excitement of having something that once looked bad, is now kinda pretty. I hope it helped getting your excitement up to finish the car. Sometimes it is all about making "1" thing nice, then you want the thing next to it to look nice, then next to that.....etc. etc. before you know it all that is left is new carpet, a new steering wheel and some rims. Just keep it up, make the pretty thing be your motivator

I dont get the impression that he's doing this project to impress you or anyone else on this forum. He certainly doesn't seem to be fishing for compliments, and along the same vein, he shouldn't be thrown insults. He's doing this project for his enjoyment and he's sharing it with us because he feels that this community might be interested in what he is doing, not because he's desperate for the thumbs up or thumbs down from anyone. No one is forcing you to look at the pictures, and the car is not sitting in your driveway causing shame and dishonor to you and your family, so why do you have to bust his balls just because you disagree with his methodology?

Nobody is making you read my posts, so why do you have to bust my balls because of my methodology?

Maybe it's just me, but I take pride in what I do. Painting an intake with the piping still on the car doesn't show any kind of pride. Generally, people post pictures to show off what they're doing and get some kind of praise. If they weren't, they wouldn't bother posting pics.

He himself said he doesn't care what it looks like, so why should he be so upset?

how can you say it works perfectly, it sounds like it stranded you a few times, i believe you post how it knock audibly because of the low octane fuel you run, and you always having computer issues. this is not an attack, its just my idea of working perfectly is different than yours.

it seems all of the 'I turboed my car for $***' folks have had huge engine issues. there was just a post were two of them posted pics of wrecked pistons from something not being right. all I'm saying is that boost and money mix pretty well.
