#@Ants has been doing a lot of this on his GT-R. He would be worth talking to.

Ah ok, yeh can't really go wrong with the re-spray...the more effort you put into your sanding before and between coats the better it gets

Decided against going plastidip too as I don't think it comes in a gloss as it's a rubberized paint....plus it costs too much. But it's definitely handy if you have a nice set of wheels and you just want to try out a different colour with the intention of maybe pulling the paint back off at some stage etc. I'm happy to spend some time sanding and prepping - got all the time in the world lol

[tommis85]

Yeah good thanks, decided on black plastidip for the wheels, just trying to find new gram lights decals. Hard to find legit ones!

Booking the car into efi soon to get the nistune done finally too how's things with you?

Oooh that's awesome man - about time you got a couple extra ponies under the hood!

The black will go nicely with the silver too

Really need to take the gtr for a bit of a long drive so will be driving down and back in it to spectate. Will meet up and convoy with you though

Sweet, so meet at macas on the h'way

[tommis85]

#@me_larr any updates on the search for the new beast/sale of your dearly beloved?

Sale is going slowly as I thought it would. Have had a few requests for swaps but the cars aren't what I'm gunning for.

Feeling first hand how slow the market is right now.

Went for a drive in a stock evo last week. All I can say is that they're definitely more than just a fast car. If you guys haven't been in one, you really have to. Surpassed my expectations on how a "lancer" should drive/handle

Only dislike was the doors clanged so bad when closed. Made the 180 feel almost luxurious.

[tommis85]

I dare say that a new evo would feel quite zippy. The whole mivec system would give them motor a pretty nice torque curve too no doubt.

But I don't know if I could do this to...f*k....my car still doesn't have a name lol

[me_larr]

^ I call mine the 'old girl'.

Polygamy is a wonderful thing

New evo's are way out of my budget LOL. Would rather a 34GTR, then spend the rest on a falcodore.

But even the old ones are awesome. 7s-9s make 382NM - 400+ NM of torque factory standard from a pissy little 2ltr motor.

Look, I'm a victim of circumstance. I don't want the extra expense of keeping her and paying rego/insurance on a 3rd car. But I'll say this, when my numbers come up, I'll have a type x, GT3, 400R/VSpecIINur all in the one garage

Had the abomination out today... Love it, love opens, I had a beer at the pub then drove home

This is questionable...

[Captain Natro]

I'm assuming so, no flashes or pull overs...

I don't have to get in it to know this.

I'm going to hazard a guess right now, she's too loud, too low, paint job looks "different" and there's a guy that looks like a young hoon in the driver's seat.

Say's "come violate me without lube" to the coppers all day everyday LOL

Please come up to Tbar and give me my ride before you lose your license.....
