I will keep that in mind, thank you. Can you give me more information about powder coating? Mostly, which pieces can be coated? And why powder coating as opposed to painting?

That's very cool looking. I love the color choice. I like pink more, but I understand that that's not for everyone

And in order to get mine not blurry, since I had to have it on a long exposure because it was dark, I leaned the seat forward, and rested the camera under the headrest on the top of the seat, and adjusted the steering wheel so it wasn't in the way. It took some playing around, but it worked Well, the second time, anyway.

BTW, I think you can powdercoat an intake at home...I'm not sure if it'll be cheaper though

LOL @ the pink calipers idea. I know they make the paint in purple... pink might be a custom job

ORIGINAL: Little Black Hatch

Acutally, that leads me to a different question. How much engine work requires physical stregnth? Cause I'm really small (like 98lbs soaking wet) and not very strong. How will this limit me?
Since you should always have someone with you when you're working on your car (for safety reasons), it hardly matters.
