Just picked her up a couple weeks ago. GMP Stage II.








I just painted the valve cover yesterday.

 

Vc looks good. Supercharger next?

 

Yeah just not sure whether to polish or paint it.

 

Polishing is a ton of work but looks amazing. Ive heard the ribs on top are a bitch lol

 

I was polising the VC but it was taking too long and I had to go to the store so I painted it. Haha

 

Yeah its a lot of sanding

 

Im thinking of doing flat black on it. Maybe with blue ribs?

 

Looks good, is it color matched?

 

If your gonna pull the SC id do the dual pass end plate on the intake manifold as well at the same time, as well as a full supercharger service. Strip it down, put a new coupler on it, change the fluid, check the bearings for play, add some more high speed grease to the needle breaings, wash the rotors of any grease or crud and clean the inside of the case out.

Then for the painting, clean and prep the case with a red scotch bright pad, then spray with duplicolor green etching primer first, then sand that with the red scotch pad, and then lay your base coat. Im using new ford gray duplicolor engine enamel for mine. It's a high temp paint with ceramic making it very durable.

 

Yes its color matched. Thanks for the info spawn ill be sure to do that.

My old beat up POS.

 

Lol nice mods list. Looks sweet

 

Thanks haha. Figured a little humor would be fun. I need a drop bad. I hate the mtruck status.

 

Yeah drops do a huge difference in the look of the car, allow me to recommend getting springs that still keep a bit of rake though, where the rear still sits higher than the front a bit. The cars architecture begs for it in order to look good, and its necessary to hook and go properly as well. Ssc springs are my recomendation

Oh and i know all about flux capacitors. You know its amazing what nucleatrolisists have been doing for the fluxion community lately. Ever since they came out with the latest prismiridian phleptocells, hurdling the forcetractor fields has been a breeze when in crendilation mode

 

Thanks for the recomendation on the springs. I do agree the rake is needed to keep a good flow with the body. I leveled my old base as seen above with k sports and I didnt really like the look. I dont know how you come up with those words. It almost makes me believe it. Hahaha

 

They are all real words in my world lol

 

Haha I tell myself that everyday.

 

You said you have a Tsudo catback . Which one is it? Number one or 2?

The second one looks pretty close to an Ark copy.

 

I know. Not a big fan on how it looks. Just wondering if OP had the first one, cause I would want to buy the 2nd one depending on fitment issues ( due to it says its only for 2.2's ) but I was told by someone that all exhaust systems are exchangeable. Not sure though.

 

Yes their all interchangeable although the SS/TC is the only one with a 3 bold design where as the others are 2 bolt so worst that could happen is that the flange would have to be switched out, although you wouldn't even have to do that. I have the Ark exhaust and it's really not too bad, this is on a 2.2 and it says 2.0 if you look it up.

 

Car looks great! Favorite color of cobalt personally.

 

@salvagebaltss its the muffler off the 1st one. Lsj's exhaust is 2.5 inch till it hits the axel then it necks down to 2.25. The 1st one wont fit because its 2.25 all the way through. I dont know why I said catback sorry. Correct me if im wrong.

@gibsonj4 thanks I love how the color looks purple at different angles.
