That's the way the new zzp coilcover looks I'll probably get one when they are available or I'll just go with Juan and have him make me a custom one

Dropped clutch at redlight, instantly lit up Audi and minivan who felt passing me at 15 mph over the speed limit was a good idea.

New LEA Block arrived today... Whoop whoop. Taking the engine out the top is so easy I don't know why you would bother dropping the chassis. Not to mention it is nice being able to roll the balt out of the way so I can work.

Because you're both autos and you don't have an attached clutch pressure plate that has to clear the bellhousing

Did an ultra chrome basecoat with a close match Sport red tintcoat transparent metallic for a friend tonight. First time trying the ultra chrome base. Looking forward to seeing it in the sunlight.

I think the chrome base coat looks good by itself. I don't have any experience powder-coating. Could you run just the chrome base coat by itself? Like would it hold up and maintain its luster?

Also i dropped my engine out the bottom 1 because I don't have an engine hoist. I would also rather take the parts off the engine outside the engine bay rather that in. The only part I don't like about working on vehicles is trying to tighten or remove bolts that are a tight squeeze to get at. When you drop the cradle in one piece you can remove everything off the engine out in the open which is a pleasure compared to busting knuckles in the engine bay.

You could but a clear cote is recommended. It's a base for all the translucent colors so a clear with a little metallic would look great.

Spent the weekend pulling my KY Stg4 and installing a GMPP/FW. Dad came by to help and was feeling goofy (it was my birthday)

You'll likely not get more than 10-11k for it even with only 40k on it
