big boo boo happend to my car today :)( ...am devastated.

was going down a basement carpark ramp and scraped slightly on the undercarriage.

then on the way out ...i attempted the same ramp at an angle...got stuck and the rear wheels started to spin and I could hear this god awful scrape and thud.

being the idiot i am..managed to get the car in reverse and attempted the ramp again ....same deal...even tried it with some drain grills which i removed and made a platform to jack the rear a bit...car was too heavy and the steel grills didnt hold.

anyway short story....i scraped my undercarriage and the tar like stuff was scraped exposing some bare metal...also bent the metal cover on the cat. thankfully it didnt dent the chassis or any other body parts

my q is.....what is that tar like stuff on the chassis and where can i get some??? is it sold in a spray can or can i brush apply the stuff??

am really worried that the metal might rust if i leave it exposed too long.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
