1/2 throttle still pushes over 300lbs of tq to the wheels off idle.. Messing with the timing should help push the powerband up

Hows about an update?

Saturday morning I installed a 2500CFM fan in the garage! Picked it up for $100 from a body shop that decided to stop priming in their main shop. (original price was $260).
Up and running in a hour!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750060.1.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750061.2.jpg)


Spent a bunch of time sanding the cowl area (read 4+ hours.. Apparently no one bothers to sand those vent holes and the wiper holes)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750062.3.jpg)

Sanded and primed the rear as well
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750062.4.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750065.7.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750065.8.jpg)

All went well till I went for a second layer of primer on the targa bar..
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1303750066.9.jpg)

I was PISSED OFF... This was supposed to be the last final layer of primer on this side.. Damn.

I sanded this all down last night and its ready for a second coat of primer fill on a couple area's. So i'll get the fender and those area's in primer tonight hopefully.


Im ordering paint today FYI. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was rushing myself.. Not enjoying the process because a friend of mine was pissing me off so I wasnt thinking.

When I spray I will have 2 others in the garage, one on each side of the car. Their whole job is to keep me from either leaning on the car, or keep the hose from touching the car.

Paint is ordered.

One gallon of single stage with appropriate reducer and hardner. I also got a quart of primer sealer by direction of my paint buddies, apparently the primer I was using isnt actually a sealer. However he did tell me that what I should do is prep the body with 220 grit and lay down the primer sealer, Then while the primer is still wet (10 mins later), lay down the first coat of paint and then the subsequent layers of paint. He says that it just turns out amazing. I trust him, and I have plenty of paint to be able to make touch ups if I need to.


I sprayed the area's that I needed to finish, so the whole car, minus the front trunk is in final primer. I have some touch up pitting in the targa bar that i'll fix over the next week, and i'll get the front trunk done this weekend.


Once the paint comes in then I think i'll start by test spraying the targa top.

I wouldn't paint over primer that hasn't dried. Non sanding sealer is good for at least 12 hours to recoat. But the data sheet doesn't say anything about painting over it before it dries. When you build up several coats of paint it can take weeks or months for the paint to dry completely. That will be where the shrinkage will show up.

The primer that I bought is supposedly good for wet on wet application, AKA its built for this.

However I cant say that im more than skeptical, which is why I posted this.

This is what I got
http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/itemde...S+KIT-KEP505-QT

HOWEVER looking at it now I think I got the wrong thing.. This is epoxy primer/seal.. I believe I wanted Urithane epoxy/seal.. aka this stuff.
http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/itemde...o=KUS+KUP405-QT

Since I went with a urithane paint.. aka this
http://www.tcpglobal.com/restorationshop/i...SP+AU1805-KIT-M.

I was also told to spray the primer with a fast reducer (which I picked some of that up)..

I placed this on Monday, so im going to call and see if I can get them to change the order to urithane primer, not epoxy.
