Aaron Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 so today i climbed into my car's enigne bay to clean. it needed it. i want the entire frame clean and everything in that bay all clean and where it should be at. so i got to work. now i always thought our frame was black. ive crawled under it hundreds of times, and everything is black. so i get the scraper, high pressure hose, degreaser, gasoline, and wire brush and get to work. well it turns out, our frame is grey. its the color of metal, just dull silver/grey. really it is. my enitre frame cradle is all clean now, and in this "color". i was shocked. i have a 1/2" muck all under my car from all the crap, it was so dirty. so just wanted to say this, i found it really weird.

MaroonRegal Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 I wouldn't say it's really weird, but I guess I kinda figured it was black too. Quote
GrandPrix34 Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 aside of that, youll also discover your car to GAIN about 5 hp...well not GAIN but the car will be lighter witout all that gunk and shit.... Quote
Teferius Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 How long did that take to finish? Quote
sonyman87 Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 my frame is gray!! the only black i see is oil from changing out the oilfilter. Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 at least the rear half of my frame is white... Quote
The Burning Rom Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 The frames on my cars are metal colored....in some areas anyway. In others, they're brown. Stupid road salt. All that gunk on your frame probably kept it from rusting But I pressure-wash my engine bays and sub-frames a lot. Quote
Aaron Posted September 26, 2003 Author Report Posted September 26, 2003 remember we dont use salt here, we use sand. and it is rusted, but very minimally and onyl in a certain spot. by grey i meant metal colored. Quote
PaPaPooh Posted September 26, 2003 Report Posted September 26, 2003 when you got that thing out make sure your body mounts are good too Quote
Aaron Posted September 27, 2003 Author Report Posted September 27, 2003 oh thanks for reminding me, i think they are tho, from a standstill revving it via the trottle body, i went from 0 to 5000, and the motor didnt move at all. it just sits and gets loud and scary. doesnt move at all. thanks to michale for that one.
