that works too rusty, in any case for true remote central locking you will need another actuator in your drivers door. the drivers door has a switch which is activated by the locking mechanism, that switch triggers the actuators on the other doors.

anyone know what size tyres id need if i were to put my 18" x 7.5"s on a 1990 4x2 hilux??

Haven't had the time or weather to paint my brake calipers yet. So in the mean time i've been keeping them polished. The polished finish looks amazing, but it doesn't last long at all, surface rust just takes over.
Has anyone got any suggestions for how I can keep them polished?
I think a heat proof clear coat would do the trick, but as far as I know no such product exists

I don't mind cleaning them regularly, just getting sick of taking the wheels off all the time and having to clean them with a wire brush

VHT and Motospray both make a heatproof clear spray, and they're commonly available brands

mynameisdaniel · 27-09-2010, 02:16 PM

white smoke is steam or burning water on something hot.... burning oil i think is a blue like smoke....

70NYD · 30-09-2010, 02:52 PM

and black smoke is a whole range of things

but most of the time unburnt fuel

Ghoru · 30-09-2010, 06:46 PM

Ghoru · 30-09-2010, 09:09 PM

70NYD · 30-09-2010, 09:26 PM

Degreaser burn off has a smell to it as well and the smoke is thin

Ghoru · 30-09-2010, 09:53 PM

mynameisdaniel · 01-10-2010, 06:42 PM

Anyone got any guesses how much it would cost to have a single 17" rim (without tyre) sent from Ipswich QLD to Adelaide SA?
Never organised anything like this before, would I have to use a courier company? Can anyone recommend companies?
Cheers.

project.r.racing · 01-10-2010, 07:12 PM
