Don't start something you can't afford to fix right.

I've help a few friends build a few imports and I built a 300hp 91 GSX for a winter autox & daily driving. You really can build an import into a non Riced out fast enough ride. It's all about muffler and avoiding visually tasteless things. Also not acting like a D-bag. :0)

Rice is a state of mind and a course of action on a poor undeserving Machine.

Truth be told I've seen more "ricers" on the truck forums than I ever thought I would. I couldn't believe it. Still can't. I guess there's a whole culture out there that insist on making mods with 3M tape and Hope Depot. lol

I owned 4 Datsuns back in the 70s. I was Rice before Rice was Rice.

Hush. lol They didn't come out like I wanted. I'm getting lightning heads when I get the money and I won't be painting them on again, no worries.

On the oven prep method...

Do you paint while hot? Or is that just to let the paint that they're already painted bake on, and ten apply your own paint?
