Chasing an alternative to the small lip spoiler that still allows me to do away with the factory one. I can have one custom made but it will cost more than $1000 and I can't bring myself to spend that sort of cash on a purely aesthetic mod.

Please feel free to point me in the direction of other companies that make such an item.

Cheers

dude i got one from do luck cost me a grand + fitting etc etc...do your self a favour an go the east bear carbon one...the weight of the do luck when fitted just adds to the normal boot weight as its just a boot cover and requires a panel shop to make it flush and look proper...east bear will bolt up lovely and fit perfectly give powerplay imports a call or import via jap website...but expect to pay around the 800$ mark unless you find a cheap one on yahoo auctions via import monster

The small lip spoiler you pointed out is what I'll settle for if I can't source what I'm really after before respray time, but here's hoping.

Thizzle is right, I'm after the East Bear specifically because I had read on a UK forum that the Do-Luck version was a sort of boot addition that would require time fitting, etc.

However, given how difficult it seems to be to get my paws on either, at the right price I'd settle for either, and a custom is job is not completely out of the question yet. I'm a patient person who can wait for the right price, but time is running out as I'd like it to get it done with the rest of the body.

I posted a WTB topic on R33 smoked side indicators probably a year ago and still haven't got my hands on some. May have to bite the bullet and buy them new for $100.

I'm stunned that more parted out wreck threads don't sell them.

And every now and then I stumble across old threads like, say, THIZZLE'S, where he sells the parts I want and then PRACTICALLY GIVES AWAY AN ENTIRE BLOODY SHELL FOR PEANUTS! And all because I never saw it when it was relevant. Balls............

      Are you an oil nerd?

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
