Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 01:06 PM

Probably easier than a NA -> Turbo swap. You wanna go NA???

Davis · 02-10-2009, 01:27 PM

First of all, learn to type.

I don't know of any good paint shops, but some of the guys will chime in on that.

And if you look around the SoCal section, you'll see our upcoming meets.

ChArLeZ..! · 02-10-2009, 01:30 PM

Well About the typing .....

Im bout to head to work so i was typing quick so ill have some responds by the time i get off

& alright thanks alot

Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 01:43 PM

^Davis' pet peeve is people who type like that

...

I'm pretty sure Ji and Matt both know people who do paint. Just talk to them about it at the lowering meet if you can make it. There's a link in my signature...

ChArLeZ..! · 02-10-2009, 01:45 PM

HaHa....

Thanks 4 the heads up...Lmao..

But kool ill check it out and hopefully i can make it..

thanks alot

Davis · 02-10-2009, 01:46 PM

I don't know about you guys, but I think reaching over to hold the shift button takes more time than typing normally.

More music!!

An old video I used to watch all the time of Alaine and I <3/hate the song Haha love the melody but hate the fact it reminds me of my ex.

masagsxr · 02-10-2009, 01:48 PM

Sounds like Davis still needs more hugs hehehehe

randomxzero · 02-10-2009, 02:35 PM

i guess he didnt like my cyber hug

okay you guys are my friends!!! hahaha..
ya you guys had 4 people to take off the trans..!
when i swapped my trans it was between 2 people and the 2nd guy wasnt much help so basically i almost did everything on my own! :/
sandals ouch.. i worked on my car in vans and i had a brick fall on my foot hurt like a motherf***er

Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 03:26 PM

where'd the brick come from?

randomxzero · 02-10-2009, 03:28 PM

haha i was using wood and bricks to kinda hold up the tranny on one side while i was using the jack for the other..
when i picked up the bricks one slipped and fell on my foot..

Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 03:36 PM

nice...

randomxzero · 02-10-2009, 03:38 PM

thank you haha.. ya i dont have all the stuff necessary so i have to use what i got.. :/ wish i had money for lots of tools..

Davis · 02-10-2009, 03:50 PM

Same.

o6spdracer · 02-10-2009, 04:22 PM

How much are you looking to spend on paint, what color are you painting it (will it be a color change), do you want them to spray the doorjams/engine/frunk/etc., how much of a perfectionist are you, and where do you live? I can try to put you in the right direction.

randomxzero · 02-10-2009, 04:23 PM

whetever you do dont go to maaco..
people have said its horrible there...

masagsxr · 02-10-2009, 04:43 PM

I think its ok if you are willing to be anal to them about it. They offer 6 year warranty so read the fine print etc before signing something and get them to paint it. An old friend from way back had his car painted 2x. Of course the 2nd time around Maaco did a daym good job coz they know they'll loose $$$ if that keeps happening.... My friend was an absolute ahole to them about it and stood his ground.

randomxzero · 02-10-2009, 04:48 PM

thats good!!...
i forgot in which forum i read that the guy dripped paint and had his car for a very long time!..
never got finished and parts were missing in the end..
just dont want it to happen to other people
