^I hear PB Blaster works well for breaking open rusted bolts.

My battery finally died on me so I upgraded to a Duralast Gold 51R. I had to saw off one side of the tray and fold it down to make room for the bigger battery, but no other clearance issues since I don't have the stock intake box there. Although, now I can't check my transmission fluid since it's in the way. For those of you with 51Rs, how do you deal with this when it comes time for a fluid change and the car has to be running?

 

Thanks buddy, I'll give it a try.

 

so a few pages back i showed pics of the dismantling of the fit.

i have been busy so havn't posted up.

here's the last few days of work on it.

Lexus Pearl White!

door jambs being painted on the doors, the other pics are the door jambs of the body.

 

Under the hood, door jambs, rad support.

The pics don't do it justice at all.... it's wild. just moving around causes so much to change all based on angles.

 

we were also really bored and took the frame from my 1964 impala off.....







OH, i also got a red H keyfob cover and a steeringwheel emblem for the fit.

 

Nice man. If u get bored come paint my old accord

 

^^more pics of impala!

Fit will look nice with that color. Are you also doing the engine bay?

 

Nice color, that is one of my favorite OEM colors

 

yah... every panel is off... except the firewall..you cant see it anyway. lol.

moar impala:

%100 original interior. %100 original metal. %100 original chrome and trim. Numbers matching!

 

Damn that thing is nice! Hydros or bags? Shit is clean. My uncle has a clean 63' vert and another homie has a really mean 63'. I'll post up some pics right now, let me upload real quick. I've been wanting a bubble top myself, but need to get rid of some stuff first lol!

 

Wow, that is a clean Impala too!

 

My buddies '63 fully done everything with supercharged LS







My uncles '63 vert fully restored

 

this video was at 200 psi...it's at 230 now.

Once the frame build is done, we are upping it to 300-330 and makin it bounce like a whore.


I went bags for 2 reasons.

1) ride comfort. at half height, it floats like a caddy. Comfy for cruising ALLLLL day long.

2) Lant and Haggerty who insures classics and lowriders in canada has been cancelling the insurance policies for anyone with hydraulics starting this year.

SO many people who had long standing policies with them all got cancellation notices this year. they even said to me that if i went hydros they would cancel me on the spot......

so we did 2 5-gallon tanks, 1/2" lines, 2 compressors, 1/2" fast asco valves, high pressure. still fun to play with

 

Rear wiper delete and changed out to a JDP spoiler

 

Pics of JdP spoiler.

I had a Mugen spoiler on my ep3. Would love something like that again.

 

Love that Impala. Your pics mostly make me miss Ontario, though.

 

Worlds second largest cyclone to hit west coast india in 2-3 hrs .. Wind speeds are crossing 230 kmph. Seems like apocalypse.. Fifreaks pray for india.

 

The problem isn't that the colors fade it's that the decals start to flake off. They're so thin that they don't hold up well to washing and just the general wear they undergo while driving.

 

I cannot wait to see the Lexus Pearl White on the Fit I think Toyota offers the color on a few other models but you notice it immediately.

 

Nuttin' fancy. I picked this up from a member here a while back and just got around to putting it on in anticipation of some expensive mods to come
