BLKACK1's Build Thread

Thanks DAve, your welcome to come down and help me wrech anytime, I would consider it an honor to have an OG like yourself to come put some work in :bow: :up:

yeah MrP, hurry up. we dont want to disapoint Laydee:D

HAHA, I wish… Im not sure if I could afford to replace every nut and bolt lol

on with the good stuff.
:::UPDATES:::

Got all the preping done and a majority of the painting :rockon:

started by pulling off all the little pads. they all came of very easily with the exception of this one. needed to get my mini torch and a puddy knife out to get it off. sadly I dont think this one will be resueable so I ll have to find some thing to replace it…

Next up I wire wheeled most of the larger thicker chunks of rust.

Cleaning up the tank using Marine Clean degreaser

Preping the tank using the supplied Prep and Ready solution.

First coat of POR laid down.

Im also painting the hard lines that are attaced to the tank. they are all prepped and ready to paint, just need to pick up another paint brush…

Baller. Is this hard to do on these? I might park the Teg this summer and do some work if I can afford it.

pullling the gas tank is not to dificult if you have an extra pair of hands.

:::UPDATE:::

Speaking of, Robi brought his pit crew over the other night :giggle: and we put the tank back up into the car. thanks guys :up:

2nd coat of POR

Hard lines, Before

Hard lines, After

Get it all put back together…

All back up in place :rockon:

:up: thanks it wasnt to big of a deal, the tank had been empty for a while and it was such a small flame and minimal heat :slight_smile:

And you plan on giving them to me? :stuck_out_tongue:

Good work, now we can roll in style. Been working almost 50 hours a week for a bit now, so if I ever GET a day to myself (2 jobs sucks), I’ll have to dig into a new Master Cly. and ABS system, as well as Fuel relay. Koni Yellows with GC are in the cards if the paycheck’s real nice and bills are less. (maybe next month.)

I also want to dig into body work this summer.

All in, we should roll while we still can. Spring’s here, time for another G2IC:CO meet!

Don’t have time to search through 61 pages, but what are the specs on the Teins?

Matt- You’ll love the Koni/GC combo, I know I <3 mine!
Jake- Just some wack Super Streets :stuck_out_tongue:

ā€œO’Koni Rules!!ā€ haha

this^^

great build…i’m loving it!

I’ve considered the Tein N1 kit, for EG/DC applications at some point. Seems rather aggressive, though. Will wait til the car is going to be closer to be ā€œtrack onlyā€ before I go that route, though. Until then, as you stated, I LOVE my Koni/GC combo. Does the job. Handles well, and isn’t TOO harsh on the street :slight_smile:

Looks funky fresh! Good job on the tank! That is great you finally get your teins back.

I’m actually leaving to do some work on mine. I hope I don’t mess anything up lol.

I was very impressed with Glynn’s setup on the track, and they ride nice on the street. His car was like a go cart cart, and the rear end was more than happy to play.

Somebody needs an update…

Matt, a meet sounds good. hopefully Ill be able to atend and congrats on the new jobs :up:

Thank you:bow:

im not going to get into which is better cause it is all a matter of personal preference. personaly I love my teins. there extreamly comfortable while cruising down the streets yet stiff enough to abuse at the track. cant ask for much more at this point in its life :slight_smile:

HAHA, sometimes a little to happy to play if you ask me. Ive been reading up and I think next time I head out im going to soften up the rebound in the rear a little and that should help neutralize it a little bit. :smiley:

Well Ive got good updates and bad updates, let me sort threw bad first and then ill post them up :stuck_out_tongue:

:rofl: no way man! That was waaay to much fun passing that Audi R8 sideways at 80mph. I am sure he was just as surprised as us looking at him through the front of the car through his side glass.

I hope the bad updates are not so bad.*Crosses fingers.

LMAO. Just goes to show that even the Audi drivers that track their $150,000 supercar are still slow. :snicker:
