NEW SETUP!!!!

Round 2: Finally done…

I want to say thanks to everyone that had any part in helping me with my car. Hopefully this doesn’t sound too gay.

Zack (1_BAD_RSX) – Thanks for all your help man! Can’t wait until your car is running strong and we can cruise!
Derek (D-Rob) – Best tuner hands down. Thanks again man!
Brian (Fade2Black) – Thanks for putting up with all my damn questions!
Alex (osusantacruz) – Thanks for all the help and this build would not be at the level it is without you.
Anthony (EncoreDC5) – You are one cool guy. Thanks for all your help and everything you did for me!
Chris (CreepyChris) – You are a god with wires. ‘Nuff said.

Everyone in the turbo chat – You guys have also put up with a lot of my questions! Thanks a lot!

I doubt she will see this but I have to thank my fiancée too for putting up with my obsession.

It’s been over a year since I began tearing her a part after my first build. I was pretty happy with the car, but because I am power hungry and have way too much attention to detail, I decided to undergo Round 2 of my turbo build. The main goals of this build were: built motor/transmission, roll cage, powder coat, ceramic coat, and shave the engine bay. With the exception of a few things, everything has been done by myself – That is something I am proud of and those of you who work on your own car will know what I am talking about. Few quick things: filling the engine bay and sanding was an endless bitch, cutting/bending/positioning the 2 side bars on the roll cage were a pain, wiring sucks, little problems suck, blown headgasket right after you get it put together sucks… that is all.

The engine bay turned out really good. I spent many, many, many hours working with cutting, grinding, filling, and finishing holes in the bay. I also took it a step further and smoothed out other areas on the shock towers, firewall, headlight braces, and just in front of the shock towers. This was my first time working with filler and I must say I did pretty well. I had actually painted the bay 3 times because I was not happy with the first two. I thought I was happy after the 3rd time of painting it myself but my attention to detail problem kicked in and I had it professionally sprayed by my friend Paul (who has a sick Civic EG drag car!).

I know I will get asked this, so I will just answer the question now: What did you coat your trunk with and why? The trunk is coated with a DIY roll on bedliner called Monstaliner. This bedliner is supposed to outperform all other DIY bedliners and it has a much smoother (less chunky) texture. Painting the trunk/back seat portion of the car much like you would the outside seems to be the trend but I wanted something much more durable for when I need to throw stuff in the back such as a toolbox or slicks. Monstaliner seemed like a good solution to me and has turned out exactly how I envisioned. If anyone is interested in Monstaliner for your car/truck/whatever, feel free to PM me!

All coating was done by Aesthetic Finishers here in Ohio. All piping and turbo exhaust housing were coated with black Armor Coat. All painted items were done by Paul.

I think that is enough talking so without further adieu – Round 2 of my Custom GT35R Turbo build.
