build thread for the blue monster

[timmay89]

Not to be rude at all because I like the look of the tinted headlights, but for some reason it reminds me of a blind person.

I love the paint job! Great color choice. Keep of the good work!

[Aaronbrook37]

I really like this build. The colour choice is fantastic... I was a huge fan of the yellow, but I like the green even more! You put a lot of care and attention into your detailing and modification, and rest assured that it does not go unnoticed! Fantastic work thus far... I can't wait to see what the car looks like fully painted... it will totally transform everyone's opinions about the car, guaranteed.

What's next on the menu? I haven't seen much in terms of suspension/brakes modification in here I don't think... also, any plans for an F-series/G-series?

I was negotiating a buy on this car when I was first getting into the game. I think he sold this car to his dad.

^After getting rid of my bike I own it again....
It has sat since Oct. Till now.

[gestiva]

Still looks the way it did in Oct.
I just got it back the other day and starting progress on it.
I built a "removeable" Trailer hitch from a johndeere gator hitch.
It looks ok, and holds pretty good!
Trailer was $100 with the mc ramp.

We need to find a rustiva to make a mini trailer out of.

so you sold your bike huh... little to much. is that your new bike?

[gestiva]

Yea, The ZX10r was a little TOO much for me and my "speed" addiction. lol
This bike is perfect for the style riding I like.
Finally gonna finish Painting the BP festy this weekend!
Also put stock 12" tires back on it

[tls_zx3]

your car is starting to look pretty good. i love the green. once you get it painted you need to give me a call i wanna check it out.. and that new bike.

[thered56]

How come you're putting the stock tires back on? I like those. Looking forward to seeing it painted.

[gestiva]

The 15's made the car hard to handle with the BP in it.
With upgraded trans and suspension they would work, but the car is stock.

Decided on Yellow for the paint most likely,

[gestiva]

No painting yet, But swapped on the 13's off my other festy and WOW at the improvement it made!
I fixed the overheating/boiling out water by re-installing the Red. overflow tank.

while it still is'nt technically "mine" I still am the only one with the key, and only one who drives it and enjoys it...
Here is a pic from today, it made a 100 mile round trip today! whoo hoo!

[devon527]

Sweet! I love the wheels, I cant afford any other wheels so I've been experimenting with my three sets of stocks. Just painted mine copper. Looks good with my white paint!

[gestiva]

The next set I do will be copper, I think it makes stock wheels look awesome

[gestiva]

because of gas prices I am going to start driving the BP car again for a while till
I get my other festy going. I installed the coil overs(tweeked them) and new LCA's
along with the 13" tires.
It is a inch lower in back and stock in front. It handles and corners AWESOME!
Since tweeking them its no where near as bouncy as before, and truning the wheel is a breeze.

WOW at the differance in accelerating!!!! No more "rear dipping" under hard acceleration!
and The spinning through 3rd is way less now...









Bigwheel came over too and I replaced his shift lever with one from parts car
and installed his knob... Also replaced his dome light and now it comes on with the door switch!
