That's BASICALLY what i am going to do- i am looking for a paint code that is JUST a base coat- not a candy not a pearl or metalic. Because that's EXACTLY what i plan to do- i plan to do a gold metal flake with this as the BASE COAT-and then an orange pearl effect IN THE CLEAR- as you said. BUT i am having a hard time finding the base color that is like that- burnt orange is close but to orange and needs more red for example.

Alright quick q for all the paint guru's (first off i have been painting for a while so this is nto that kind of dumb q) - The new 2006-2007 mitsubishi eclipse has a color choice called sunset pearlesent. What is the closest non-mitsu color out there i could use? Any ideas? paint codes? paitn names by who? And i like cheap GOOD paint - duh. i have never done a scane before- the deal is it is a pearl so it flips in the light fairly drastically will the scan be able to catch that EXACT paint- cause if got a brochure deal- the code is M03. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...px?year=2006&m ake=Mitsubishi&model=Eclipse this is just touch up paint though- i need at least a gallon. also what i mean is like there is a version of brandy wine candy that everyone has there own verision of it. I want to know if there is a paint that is close that is another companies verion that is already out there. But for the sunset not the brandy..........if you catch me thanks in advance all. (did not know what forum to post this in)

thanks- any thoughts on the 4g63 motor swap? (mitsu motor) the 327 was put in chevells vettes camaros impallas and the like over here in the US just a sbc that wides up better and yet mine has the camle back heads so i got the best of it.

bump-

it also looks like it hooks to a th350 with a 350 adapter plate and a flexplate for 275 so thats only 625 so far. not too bad really- then 300 for a trans- and say 600 for the motor and the whatnot - so thats 1525 for the whole setup say 600 for the car then add 500 for extra crap that i will need 2625 total cost just for swap and car 300 bucks for brakes 2925 say abotu 1100 in mods to motor 4025 for the whole project how does that sound? or am i missing somthing?

GUYS CHECK THIS OUT! this looks like the 4g63t would hook to a w58 trans that is a yota trans from the 80's supra is it not!? http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136380 I am "blight" on that website for future ref. from what htey say it will hold to 350hp- MORE then enough to run a flat 12. that would be scary shat as it is in this little car. it looks like there is a kit to mate it to a w58 - but then he talks about a r154 turbo trans that has removable bellhousing- have you guys ever heard fo a w58 bellousing swaped over to a r154?

so these weigh in at about 2000 pounds then? so about 300 hp then to pull a flat 12....... hmmm. maybe instead of the 327-(which could end up int he fiero instead) i could do a 4g63t motor with a starion drivetrain.

dude i have a 327 from a 68 chevelle - 350hp from factory....

as for the sr motor YES you are correct strong motor- as far as the market for it here in the USA- it is much more difficult to play with - if it blows up your screwed- so as for the KA motor alot of the drag 240 racers use them around here beucase ifyou blow a motor you can pic up one for say 150 bucks- cause nobody wants them they all want the sr becuase of the F and F movies that have come to us like a plauge from hell. ka-t.org is a good site for that. i looked it up and there was a version of the s12 or the 200sx (fromt he 80's) that had the ca18det motor here in the states. but still can't find anything on the 1ggze motor- you know anythign about it - i assume that is a yota motor.

yeah i am in the USA- i am from the northern twincities in MN. And thanks for all the info.- now here is a quick hint to ya'll i have done everythign from muscle cars to well the fiero and other ricey cars. BUT i can pick this car up for like 600 bucks SO.... I figuer i should do it up becuase to be honest i haven't even seen one that old in real life except that one- . Also just for my own benifit i know NOTHING about toyotas except they are a pain in the ass to do a oil change on because of the oil filter being RIGHT by that exaust manifold (i am have a part time job at valvoline so not too fun- just in case kind of job- i am a mortgage broker hence the van) thanks for the quick info man. I was thinking either the v8 conversion or a vg30det(or tt) i know a place to pick up the vg for 1500 plus tranny and the rest of the goodies. Isn't the ca18t a s12 motor? What trans they usually use with that? a 240 5 speed? at that rate why not a ka motor turned ka-t? then one could use some moates setups with the wiring harness and so on. Raven thanks- what is that 1GGZE out of - can't find it on wiki

I combined two posts of mine from two forums to save time- sorry for your confusion. 1. i am asking how much you think i should offer for the car- (the corrolla not the van) 2. How much it wieghs 3. the wieght i would like to know because from my understanding it only takes 80whp to get them spinning just one wheel. 4. the power to the ground i would need to pull a 12 flat (i want this to keep up with my fiero) 5. With knowing how much power it need to pull that 12 if i am going to get a limited slip or not. I have a 327 sbc at home. That might end up in the this car. 6. i am selling my van might as well ask if any of you all are intereested. -------- Lastly there was no reason for you guys to be be all WTF and saying tha ti am on crak- lets get past all the internet bs- i am just looking for some quick info- seeing that i can't find shat for info on the car-

My best bud that i have known sinc i was 12 (eric bakken) well his Fience's Grand father just died a couple weeks ago- i have been eyeing his PERFECT conditon (except the wonder full smell and no battery) 1978 toyota corrola 1.2 lt L4 rwd 5E30 5 speed manual trans four door silver in color.
