High contrast, as i said. You've seen how shiney it is, its not that shiney, i can only wish haha.

Ben, I have the same problem with relocating that 'thing' When I did the engine swap me and my mate had no idea where it went so its cable tied somewhere lol, meh it hasnt moved so thats good i guess lol

[Ben]

Phil figured out that it bolts onto the top of the throttle body, there is 2 gold bolts that it mounts onto.

You should have got two saddle brackets as per this instruction pdf

[Ben]

Yeah they did, didnt help that the image that it gave me made no farken sense to me though haha.

[Ice88]

pretty sure mines just floating around the engine bay

[Ben]

Just some pointless pictures...Marc took the fish eye one at downshift. I couldn't help myself and edited out the stone chips and fixed danes bumper... Hey, i put his watermark on it haha.

Also got some new carwash for christmas (Of course) its a yellow one by Maguires, it is the best thing ever. It smells like lollies and my car now literally squeeks. I defiantly recommend it!





Next things planned for it are:
New shocks, the rear ones are squeaking (Didn't last the 6 months Mat)
New gear knob.
SP23 pedals (If they fit)

I have been using that for about 12months... I really like it!!

To bad it doesn't respray my car for me lol

[Ben]

No, its not that good unfortunately.

Yeah i'll be buying it again when it runs out. Much better than the armourall stuff i was using.

I find that you actually use less water with that lollie shampoo
And it's easier to wash the next week too! It's a little expensive for car wash... Especially when you wash 6-8 cars every weekend but I stil prefer to use it.

And yes... Almost all armour all products are rubbish and I really don't like them

[Clean_Cookie]

The best smelling stuff I've used was autoglym. I seriously could eat that. Left a nice smell once washed too. I love their products.

[Ben]

So, i gained some inspiration from Bec and tinted some weather deflectors. (After buying them of course) very happy with the result. Maybe i need some roof rack and go for the old school wagon look now? haha.





From inside, love em...Also, dont look at all my crap in the shed



(Yes my RC cars are doing it and you do spot the autoexe lip)


Hopefully they look okay in harsh sun they are a little blotchy due to the paint and the plastic (Doesnt exactly stick real well) but nothing a light sand and another coat cant fix.

[TheMAN]

if it didn't stick very well to begin with, sanding and another coat isn't going to fix it
it should've been sanded well to begin with so that it would be a good binding coat

[Ben]

Well it did stick since i used paint for plastic, it just looks blotchy in some bits...Sanding that back and painting over it will fix that for sure. Its not going to scratch off or anything.

Next time use clear bumper primer first

Ah good thinking. I'll keep that in mind for painting clear things.

Doesn't necessarily have to be for clear things, but it's a good adhesion promoter for plastic parts.

[oyeloo]

Ill help you out if need be.
