  1. yeah, few poeple said it looks ok so figured id just fix up my stuffups and a few details and keep it the way it is for now.. i think sometimes I can get to critical of my own work so its easy to get a bit obsessive.. Im sure you know what thats like...lol im painting the airbox gloss black and thinking maybe one of those CF cooling panel (can u get non CF ones) to hide my cooler and try stop at that for a while..maybe concentrate on other things that need fixing.. i know its not as flashy as some of you guys but the style i was going for was to make it look like the factory design very unassuming.. So if someone that didnt know looked under the bonnet they would think it was meant to look that way and it was just very clean. If i take my strut brace and mags off u would be forgiven for thinking the car is stock..apart frommy huge exhaust...
  2. aahh of course, it was sunny.. i live in melbourne, we dont really get that here . Ive been painting in the shed with the heater goin and still having trouble drying, ive resorted to doin a coat a day during the week and assemmbling the next weekend
  3. heres Dave074s bay as requested
  4. real nice, but off and on in an hour,how are you drying it?
  5. which rubber strip we talking bout??
  6. so i rang honda 145$ for the part, no thanx, didnt even ask how much fitted rang prestige sunrrofs 180$ fitted but wont sell part seperately..better but no sale So far looking like shipping from the states again, have found it there for about 60$ and found a DIY install on the webz..

  8. Im on my phone too, so not till i get home
  9. so i went silver..
  10. looks awesome mate, might destroy your gearbox though
  11. yeah you done the f**k out of it and have spoiled it for everyone else It may find its way onto my brakes though
  12. silver it is Anyway back to brendans car, have you considered a bronze copper style colour..it matches with grey would go well with wrinkle black and your orange indicators would help tie it all together. this is kind of the colour im thinking>> As an added bonus it would definately be different, I feel blue has been done to death...maybe if copper is too much consider a bronze or tungsten, or even a light gold...
  13. little f**kers have made a mess even started at the windscreen rubber. The inside cover was left open and it has chrome trims inside ,maybe that was stirring them, just odd they never done it before. Any ideas how to stop it & fix it?
  14. so i get home today and this has happened to the missus car, i know it was fine this morning or i would have noticed it over the weekend. crappy pic but if you see all the little black blotches there is chunks missing out of the seal and it is like this all the way around what the hell could cause this to happen during the day, she tells me it was parked at her work under the tree where she usually parks it,my first thought was someone has attacked with a screwdriver but now I am thinking maybe a bird or something has done it.. Any ideas??

  16. Thats an interesting idea ..hmm I mean the front crossover pipe over the fan, i was going to leave it black but i had it all sanded back to metal (had it welded up yesterday to get rid if the joiner) today and it kinda looked alright silver cause it matched the standard crossover pipe.. Its sitting in primer now awaiting my decision
  17. supercheap are giving free sanding blocks with 5 sheets of sandpaper for 5.95$ U will need a few of these other than that just a few litres of yellow paint is all you will really need, maybe some spray putty to fill a few scrathces depending how bad they are and a little tin of filler if you have little dings you want to fill .I can get some prices if you like. How straight is your bodywork now?
  18. I just did mine all in silver, aluminum colour actually, I think it looks clean. was also considering the blue to match strut brace, but it needs alot of polished stuff to make the blue work whereas silver goes well with black. Im still considering doing everything in black as well, it looks pretty mean with a grey car. I did a few things with wrinkle black initially, can be hard to get right especially on curvy stuff, my fornt cover came up ok in it but i tried painting my cooler pipe with it and it was a disaster, just couldnt get an even wrinkle..I gave up on it in the end and sanded it back, it makes a great undercoat Im thinking i might do the crossover pipe silver too waddayarekn?
  19. ^^Yeah I wasnt gunna say it..lol I prefer satin black personally, it hides better and doesnt look as dull..also matches engine bay black pretty well
  20. yeah just trim it or, have you tried hitting it with a hammer to make clearance, worked for me
  21. [quote name=ClutchBurndout-' timestamp='1302218045' post='5751131] i actually like the other one better Know how i know your gay!! nimmachine styling is more aggresive, then there is the fitment fail of the brookliner You gots my vote
  22. yeah i never drag race on princes hwy My car is too slow.. of course princes hwy could always be code for nepean hwy or something and this thread is ingeniously designed to throw them off course..
  23. lol, nice pwnage.. Kez I live down your way mate ,if you wanna give it a quik blowover in yellow id be happy to give you a helping hand, ill even paint it if you want .I wouldnt mind the practice. Wouldnt take to long or cost to much and should look shit hot
  24. its only a matter of time before one of them will get run over. What will happen then is anybodies guess.
