Finally some progress after a long hiatus. Let me know what you guys think of the color.

Went by the shop this afternoon, color looks much better in person then in pictures.
Very smooth without orange peel effects. Car will sit for next 2 weeks to let the paint cure.

thumbs up.
definately good clean workplace also makes a difference, unfortunately we refuse to understand in Pk, that cleanliness matters!

everyone here ends up blamming eachother when they dont know how to maintain the clean workshop.

I couldnt agree more but its just not limited to work shops its everywhere. you would see multi million rupee properties with pile of trash around it or in front of it.

I am a very patriotic Pakistani and hate to point out faults in an open public forum such as this but its our responsibility to remind each other and hopefully do something about these short comings.

I had to change color because I didnt like my first choice when it was on the car.

I agree with pictures being small but for whatever reason tinypics.com doesnt let me get anything bigger then what you see on here.

Why don't u use pakwheels image uploader?

ansarghani (Syed Ansar Ghani) 2012-03-07 02:25:58 +0500 #49

Now this is something impressive... i'd prefer gloss black over gold... but that depends on a number of other considerations too... like color combination you are going for...

Kamran Bhai good to see some updates after very looong time...
Cross drilled rotors are huge!

Oracles (Oracles) 2012-10-08 01:43:57 +0500 #55

Yes, there's lots of work done but hardly anything to show. Coilovers are custom made for s14, calipers are off of 300zx, rotors are for s14.
power steering, power brakes, rack & pinion are in place. All the AC components are connected along with Revolution GPS gauges. Interior is all but done with the exception of few real carbon fiber pieces. I am trying to make it in to RA25GTV.

@oracles , how much a pinion rack effectiv in old cars? i have a RX4 project , thinking to put pinion rack and LSD in it, which engine you suggest to put it in ?

Oracles (Oracles) 2012-10-09 04:58:46 +0500 #58

You'll see far better steering response with R&P in then not, LSD is a good upgrade with a purpose. If you are going to be using the car mainly for daily driving then I wouldnt bother with it but if you're goal is for spirited driving then by all means have at it. Keep in mind that fuel economy will be effected with latter option.

Engine is really a personal choice, I am a purist and never really cared for mixing brands.
13b-efi in an RX3 is a handful but RX3 is a lighter car then RX4 that's not to say 13b isnt a good option in your case.

this engine is pretty powerful.were using it too in a corolla,but a question if u dont mind,y not a jz series engine for this heavy body?

Oracles (Oracles) 2012-10-09 21:27:30 +0500 #60

Having a 2JZ in my other car is enough. I wanted to change things a bit... plus celica's came with 4 cyl engines to begin with so replacing 4 cyl for 4cyl with almost double in power seems like a logical choice.
