I assume you're sticking with red, so they will only need to do the outside. How much does it cost to have a nice paint job done to the whole car?Quote:

That's not so bad, I wouldn't need the engine bay done though.Quote:

What do you mean by that?Quote:

Pretty sick color and they always come out looking like glass. I'm also sponsored by them so they paint my car for basically nothing.Quote:

How much should a typical paint job run, with regular honda paint? Consider I'm not changing colors.Quote:

I tried to delete some of the pics on my photobucket account so that my pics would show up. I deleted a lot and the pics still aren't fixed. I will be moving the pics to flickr.com soon so that they can be seen. My damn phone uploaded a lot of unnecessary pics that messed up my accounts bandwidth.
How's the car doing man? Was good to see it in person at boostedlife2013.

[MENTION=56]Adm_rsx[/MENTION] Great meeting you, Bro! Your car sounded sick! That 2 step is nasty! Car is doing ok. I feel like it's not making the power it should. I know that I'm getting Heat Soak but I feel as it should still feel more powerful than it feels right now. I'm gonna have it dyno'd and a retune, soon to make sure. How's your car doing?Quote:

So, we did a retune and I gained my hp back plus more torque. We had a Dyno Day a couple weeks ago and I onlpy did 305whp. We then knew we needed a retune, bad. Leak down in a couple weeks and sending some parts out to get some work done on. Maybe a front end conversion for next season, as well. Stay tuned!
After 2.5 months, that's all we get?! No pics, video of dyno session, nothing? Slacker ;)Quote:
