Red Pepper Racing

Well I've only got one pic so far of this colorful beast, but after some piecing together I've got a straight 85 Si. I polished up the stock 10 spokes that I stole off my 84 parts car, and I think they might stay around for a while, kinda like em. Ground Control coil overs in the rear and just spun out torsion adj in the front. I will be indexing the torsions soon as well as redoing the struts at the pinch bolt for some extra travel. Does anyone know if the stock front shock bodies are also a two piece and that the pinch bolt location can be reground in them like the Illuminas? Anyways, here we have it.

hrrrmmm... i'm diggin' the wheels man in their own certain way! Looks like you're making some good progress.

Just prime it down! Itll be cheap and one color

Nice car though

I like the wheels too. I think it'll look really good painted a 2 tone, like maybe black/grey. Mmmmm, black and grey.

I know where you can get an NOS pair of those wheels.

Nice progress on the rex, keep updating.

I love it

Dont you dare change a thing (i.e NO PRIMER!)

Yeah but what you don't see is the white passenger door and hatch. Hey it's dropped my body damage to only a handful of dings... haha!

i love those wheels!
like another one said, please DONT primer it.
just paint it when you have the cash to do it.

Man, I love it, nice stance.

Those wheels are where it's at man!!

Check out my build thread for prepping the car for a great Maaco paint job.

I spent about $15 in materials, 10 hours of prep work I did myself, and then took t he car down to Maaco for
paint, which cost me $325, tax and all. This was a urethane paint with integrated clear.
That doesn't include the jams/bay though. I'm just going to rattle can those. I don't think anyone will really notice.

I am VERY happy with the job they did, for the money.

Give it a shot!!

Hmmm, looks like Gimpalots 85 rex.

pimpy. makes me wish my set of enkei spiders would fit on my car. but they won't. i like the multicolor effect, too.

yeah it's basically a chameleon paint job... Just it doesn't change! No matter what angle you look at it from it's a different color! I like to keep em guessing! Question though? Does anyone know if the illuminas are any shorter than stock shocks?

show us some pic's

more pleas lol!
