dude im still excited about sitting in your sparcos... those things are f'in sweet! soooo feeling the red.

 

ya they sure are comfy for fixed back seats.
I am stuck, cant figure out if I want to go go flat black with no cf exterior... or a reg color with cf parts I have sitting in my dining room lol

 

decisions decisions!!!

i vote yellow + cf

 

I think the CF is coming off. ALL MATTE BLACK!!

 

i have a few cans of rustoleum grill paint i can donate to the cause

 

how about that chalkboard paint so we can write **** on your car?

we could draw little paw prints on your hood to annoy turcos hahah

 

its funny you say rustoleum, cause i found a forum where someone used house rustoleum paint and thinned it out and sprayed thru a hvlp gun. it came out really well. cost like $30 bucks. lol

 

i also vote for matte black. At least it will be easy to touch up.

Hey what do you guys get for normal MPG? I have been getting 18-19mpg, pretty much all city. I just wasnt sure if that was normal.

 

i think phil said that the best way to make a car flat black was to rattle can it. i mean if a body shop says that's the way to go, i believe it

and....guess who has a compressor that can run a hvlp gun....

i think this is a fantastic idea.

 

We could at least try to rattle can it.

 

Got my calendar saturday when Paul came up. Came out GREAT!!!! Already hanging in the kitchen. Thanks Again Dave for putting that together

Turcos...Paul will have a little white envelope for you. Thanks Again Man!!

Keep the CF. It will flow with the matte. Stock spoiler + rexpeed front ducts =
Seriously...matte black is p.i.m.p. My 600RR is all flat black. High temp engine paint FTW!!!
This color would look awesome on your Evo

The stock boot on my VIII looks really cheap. I have been interested in this one, but its expensive for what it is

Tim the DPs should be here wednesday so hopefully it will be christmas at the meet this week

 

Tim, glad you like the calendar man....next year we'll get your car in it...maybe the bike too!!


Turco:

I now get 18/26 MPG, slightly better than I got when the car was stock... 18 city is pretty much right on the mark.

 

Ok that is good to know. The only highway i ever really drive is from RT9 to Daves and back, and that is usually a pretty brisk drive. the rest of the time i am usually stuck in 4th gear at like 40mph. I really wish i could stay in 5th during cruise. No low end torque fo' teh looz.

 

i don't even monitor this cuz it will just make paul sad
