Red Pepper Racing

EDITED-------^

sorry

so what kind of time frame are we looking at for finished product?

It should be finshed in six months... trust me I have some big plans... any way here is a lit bit more done on the tear down:

Lots of time will be spent on the interror

some of this motor will still be here not doing a b swap:



the tires and brakes are going to be upgraded:




umm are both wheels supose to come off the ground?

damn aren what kinda camer do you use, all of you pictures come out looking great. is it the camera or skill?

I have started to build an aluman rear bumper suport:


^ as you can see my stock one was bent


^I will be putting all that rubber stuff on the new one


TIG

And it weighs in at under 3.5lbs so far:

Nice! I need to do that someday...

nice garage....lookin good. I wish i had the space to tear mine down like that...

Hopefully you never get rear ended, or it's bye bye CRX and maybe bye bye Aren. Yes we all hate the bulk of bumper supports but alas they serve a purpose. Sorry im a safety dork

the part I am replaceing Is just a pice of 1/8 stamped steal that weighs 8 lbs (only saveing like 4 lbs)... the main reason for doing this is to repare the bend in the stock pice that you can see in the first pic... it will be just as safe as before...

Agreed, your pictures are amazing, please fill us in.

And I will be following this one closely, you do good work, I have no doubt it will be the EA of 1G's.

Cheers,
Mark

The camera is a pretty basic 4 megapixel Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom... on the indoor shots I most of the time use a singal light (just a craftsman stand up flood light) to get shadows dont use flash in side because it take all the shadows away... then just foucus the camera and I try not to hold it (I mean I let it sit on some thing so its not moveing all around) once its in focuse then I set the auto timer so that when I press the button I dont move the camera... heres the differnce:


Holding camera, autofocus, no light set up:


camera on a platform, timer, manual focus, and light set up:


see the differnce

any way I dont want my trend to become borning with the same old pictures every time so I am trying to make it a good trend and put some effort in to most shots (unlike the first pic in this trend)

how to remove motor with out a lift or cherry picker?

step one: un bolt every thing like normal
2: go under car and remove rear motor mount
3: lower car to ground (with wheels off)
4: unbolt other 2 mounts
5: rise up car (if there are 2 of you you can lift it)



This is the start of an intresting liteweight project:
