I'm working on something pretty dumb at the moment... pics up later. Post what guesses are.

rjolly87 03-23-2011 09:37 PM

Working on routing the rammed air from a cracked fender down your intake?

Danthurs 03-23-2011 09:52 PM

Adding a few more speed chips?

SAMzGXP 03-23-2011 09:53 PM

mixing water and fuel and wondering if your fuel economy changes? :nm

SilverSleeper8704 03-23-2011 09:54 PM

An air brake flap for the other side to take those turns faster? Heck, open em both up. You'll stop on a dime! :D

bo58gardner 03-23-2011 10:28 PM

wow you guys genuinely made me laugh out loud!!

No, I decided I wanted to kill time and mess around with my car at the same time...

rjolly87 03-23-2011 10:29 PM

Was there fast food trays involved?

SAMzGXP 03-23-2011 10:35 PM

^^^ that would make an awesome donut!

sseidriver97 03-23-2011 10:36 PM

Your gonna do the whole car...Right?

bo58gardner 03-23-2011 10:39 PM

Used some spray enamals found in my grandpas garage and decided to go for it. looks pretty good to me, just need to go buy gloss coating.

And eventually I will

SilverSleeper8704 03-23-2011 11:00 PM

You know racing stripes are good for another 50 hp I hear. :D

And thanks Sam, and Randall. Now I'm hungry. Mmmm doughnuts. Fast food. :bd2

bo58gardner 03-23-2011 11:08 PM

Thats just the spoiler, just think of how much hp i will gain when i do the rest of the car. but will it rub off during washing with gloss coats?

93bonnieNclyde 03-23-2011 11:30 PM

it should look cool when it's all done. can't wait to see the whole car, i had planned on murdering my 93 this summer, flat black and i was thinking of dark silver stripes.

bo58gardner 03-24-2011 06:09 AM

Well if I like the effects of the cheap rattle can then I think I'll do the entire car like that. thought about throwing a newer model GA spoiler on it.

Danthurs 03-24-2011 08:23 AM

As long as you have it clear coated it should be fine. It wont look great using a rattle can, but will look OK.

flyballdog 03-24-2011 08:50 AM

Just dont wash the car! Stripes down the sides would give it an even faster look.

bo58gardner 03-24-2011 08:32 PM

Haha, I dont really like the bars in the middle, I might go for to smaller bars down one side? I think I want to put a newer GA spoiler on it... different but not too goofy

SignOfZeta 03-24-2011 10:40 PM

I once saw a Dodge Neon with stripes, front-to-back, made out of duct and electrical tape. Glad to hear you're using paint. :thumbup2

My friend had a geo tracker that he spray painted to hood black and then put yellow rally stripes down the side to finish off

bo58gardner 03-25-2011 09:53 PM

Oh yeah drivin with those stripes... woo I'm surprised theres any paint left on the car with how fast I was goin

espee1989 03-26-2011 12:44 AM

If you polish your car enough, radar guns can't catch you. Thats what they use on stealth bombers to make them stealth.

bo58gardner 03-26-2011 07:56 AM

Oh I thought it was just billions of dollars worth of military grade equipment.

bo58gardner 03-27-2011 10:39 AM

Dakota didnt you know that stripes on Bubba will give it like 50 more lb/ft of torque for every inch thick the stripe is

______________
______________ = 50 lb/ft

Danthurs 03-27-2011 11:08 AM
