New guy 2000 corolla

First 'coat' about half a can of vht gold brake caliper paint.Going to apply the second coat tomorrow.

Some of it peeled in a few spots cause I didn't prep the valve cover but im not gonna fuss.Just gonna run it until it needs to be redone and do it right.The engine looks good for 250,000kms.

Looks good was wanting to do mine the same color.

It's alright you can't see the peeling or imperfections.I used VHT Caliper paint because that was the best Canadian Tire had for high heat gold paint.Once it needs to be re-painted i'll go with better paint, prep it better and fill in the unused bolt holes with jbweld.

So I'm no wheres near starting a turbo build since the car still needs the brake and bodywork done to be put on the road, but I couldn't pass the smokin deal on this up.I also ordered my stainless braided flex lines since my stock lines are dangerous, this is a good excuse to upgrade.

Holy crap where did you get that AEM FIC and how much did you pay?

I was looking for a deal on an emanage ultimate, I checked some forums and found nothing.Tried googling and came across a for sale post for this for $220usd incl shipping the dude didnt even charge more to ship to Canada.Was hard as fuck to get a hold of him and I was in a full panic until I did!

He went for a ems-4 for more control over his 1zz.All I can asy is stay patient and keep looking until you find what you want.If you need it NOW you're gonna pay!

Dam that's an awesome deal that's exactly what I want I've already bought the adapter harness from MWR that makes that unit plug and play and easy to tune.

Yeah I couldnt pass it up, or I'd be kicking my ass.I also seen a few deals on Emanage Ultimates for like $300usd on miata forums they seem to sell shit cheaper.As for a harness I dont need that since wiring is second nature to me, I just need a pack of bullet connectors and I'm set!

The fucking rush and excitement from scoring the fic was almost comparable to some drugs lol.Like the time I took a sled for a rip that had tons of engine work done to it, you couldnt beat the smirk off my face with a hammer.I love times like that I get all giddy like a school girl when usually my anxiety is fucking me around or im getting depressed because im anxious.
