Show Me Your Racing Machines

[Marlin]

Bogan's well and truly out.... in fact, I have a pack of Winnie Blues rolled up in my shirt sleeve today.....

Oh, and I lost another tooth this mornin.

[t01-100]

gloss white rims and stickers against flat black would look hot

i might try doing the spare bonnet i have on the evo... would go well with the a carbon roof

[Marlin]

lol... you know every time you pull a sticker it'll need painting. After rain would be likely too.

[phunky_monkey]

was that a spray can or compressor and spray gun job on the interior dane?

i did mine (all the interior and cage) with a pressure pack (matched to factory code)...

That came up well Stu. Some nice prep work

Spray can my friend. It all turned out pretty well, bar the rear guards because I was too lazy to get all the glue off... oops

Gts30: An hour? Nice one! I bought maybe 4kg's for the rear seats forward, and then did the tranny tunnel with a heat gun, same with the rear guards. Would have been easier without the cage in there, and at my premesis instead of a workshop with limited light/time.

Ben: Do it! Would look tough as nails. Are you putting GT-R guards on?

Fark yeeeeeeah maaaaaaaate *throws can*

[Eug]

that's one hot s15

[Gts-t]

That is just about THE s15 as far as im concerned.

Funky, ok maybe 2 hours tops, I had also already done the back wheel arches and where the seat would go with the heat gun. Im painting the cabin and boot the same color as the rest of the car over xmas.

[Marlin]

Tough as nails that S15!

I'd love to say i am putting GTR bits on it, but I don't think the rules allow, and its just more expensive when it goes into the scenery. And it already owes too much. Shoulda known, no such thing as a cheap race car.

Just finished putting the cooler on though Awesome hey! lolol

yeah, I'm cutting more reo......

[boxheadmr]

car looks good dane.

[Kaido_RR]

update on my engine hopfully be done this week then should be getting new seats and cage put it; if everything goes to plan should hit the track in dec so i can get a time and start tuning up the suspension

Also had the car up on the hoist and found that some sections of the exhaust were very very average on joining/welds; so redoing the exhaust, hopfully net me afew more hp

that is a seriously tuff s15. when i was thinking flat black there is apparently a clear flat that they put on over the top layer of black and it doesn't suffer finger prints etc so no need to repaint all the time. i only wanted to do it this way else it would look crap pretty quick i reackon as flat black dis-colours with uv light.

marlin - you're a reo

[phunky_monkey]

Cheers Matt.

Stu: That would be pretty sweet, I dig satin black a lot. I think if I ever had to repaint my whole car I'd do that... or Gulf livery But let's hope it doesn't come to that anytime soon

Also, I put someone on to you about some Bmax's from NS.com, so he should be contacting you soon.

Mick: That'll look good mate. I'm glad mine is done though, prepping and painting sucks

Ben: Does it do chirpies in second now?

[t01-100]

fresh custom machined pulleys for the fd... i love stuff like this!

nice. is that my old head?

[Kaido_RR]

nice. is that my old head?

thanks

nope its a 25 head

[phunky_monkey]

Anyone know any fabricators who would want to make this for me? I had one lined up for the last two months, but it's just fallen through... doesn't need to be exactly the same, just a box with a perspex lid on it for my fuel system.

[R32gts-t]

Dane, you should try ASE in adelaide...

I had my custom catch can done by them, they also make the overflow bottles...

tidy work, i doubt a one off item will be super cheap though...

alternatively, if you made a cardboard template first, almost any fitter and turner/engineering place would be able to make it for you quite cheaply...

eg:

[phunky_monkey]

ASE actually made that one Greg But they don't make them anymore unfortunately...

Thanks for the link too, I'll check it out

[R32gts-t]

A friend of mine has a cousin that works at the place in that link, they mainly do large scale jobs.

He may be able to do it on the side, as in after hours type of thing.

(although turn around time is usually slow for that type of thing)

I can put you on to him if you want... pm me.

[phunky_monkey]

That'd be good man, thanks.
