I have an empty A-pillar pod for a reason :D

AEM UEGO as soon as I have the spare $$$ (Stoopid Nissan transmission :hick: ). I even have an O2 bung for it.

I'm thinking 19#s will be the limit, and maybe 6* of cam. I'll find out Friday with Ted and John at PIR. (Hoping for a 13, praying for a 13, light it on fire if I have to for a 13...)



awesome man, good luck on the 13.

Did some work on Layla over the last few weeks. First I installed an Auto Meter double gauge pod and an Ultra-Lite II Boost gauge. I dyed the pod red using SEM dye, but it's not quite the right shade yet. I'm trying to match the seats instead of the original dark red (from the 1/2 dash up) to make the whole interior the same shade of red.

Then I got to work on the rear bumper, it was looking kinda py.

I masked the car off and sanded and painted the trim. Dupli-Color high gloss black bumper trim paint was used. Then I installed my red trim kit.

Then I did the door b-pillar trim. Again, I masked and sanded. I used Dupli-Color satin black 500* engine paint for this. The color was right on and it's a high-wear paint and seeing as how my greasy fingers are always touching it. Works great and cleans up easily. (And yes, I masked the door and window separate and also the inside of the door. I painted the inside lip of the trim as well.)

Then I tackled the outer marker lights. Mine were bad, all yellowed and nasty. I cleaned up a set really nice and installed them. 100% improvement!

You can clearly see 3 of the different shades of Medium Red :hick: Remember, she was 3 different colors when I bought her, so being different reds is an improvement :D

A couple of "overall's". Yes, I did take most of the stickers off. I left on the two supporting my tracks (PIR and PR), the NHRA Member, and the K&N.

I polish my mirrors.Take them off,sand them with 600,800,1000,1500,then 2000 ( I like to go through the grits and be thorough),then,polish them with a good polish.I use Mother's Billet polish.they will be glossy black with no paint.All natural plastic.Then,a little wax each time you wash the car.Nice looking when they're done.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do. It's frustrating sometimes when you realize that the car has nearly 180,000 miles and really needs a full restoration. I'm just trying to keep it presentable. What I really need to do is paint it.
