Cool, couldn't really tell from the picture above. What did the faces of the arms look like after they were stripped?

 

they had machine lines all over them.

Yeah, the faces of the spokes and the lips both had very small/shallow machine lines and the rest was just casting.

 

id like to say for being so Humble about it, your painting looks great! the painter always see's the LITTLE imperfections but no one else would ever notice them! its part of painting your eyes will get drawn to the smallest spot that nobody else can see. Another thing is I love to see that your driving a KA will all the performance parts you have, it may not be the fastest but it will slide just as good as any high horsepower engine and will last forever, literally !!!

 

WOW the fitment on your front end (fenders hood lights grill bumper) is FLAWLESS. you must have taken your time and it shows, thats damn good work

 

My painting skills are sub par at best. There are quite few flat spots and over spay areas. I've just never taken the time to try and remove any of them plus the conditions under which I attempt to paint stuff are always horrible. Its a beater car so it dosnt really matter to me anymore.

And the car dosnt slide. I dont think its physically possible for this motor to spin the wheel/tire combo I have. I'd be pretty angry if it could.

Thanks for the compliments though.

 

^ lol, a stock ka should be able to spin those 5zigens. (not that you would want to) Didn't you rebuild it?

 

Yes its been rebuilt. But 26lb NT-05 tires + 20lb wheels = 46lbs x2. So a total 92lbs. A stock KA isnt going to spin that much weight very easily.

 

Going to test out the car in few weeks.
