You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

so went to MiColour to discuss painting and fitting of body kit for gloria... learnt some things about the do's and don'ts of fibreglass body panels.

but now its time to weigh up whether its worth the cost... can anyone recommend a place worth chatting to? im prepared to pay for quality work, but in Mick's words "How long is a piece of string?" can go very very long when trying to make possibly warped fibreglass "fit" nicely. (im preparing for the worst, hopefully it should be pretty good)

on a side note, S14 at micolour getting the whole sha bang-a-bang has some serious money put into it. like so serious i couldnt believe its to be used a street car only. on a S14 that had hit a pole on the rear quarter. the fenders were made by Mick and will fit 11" wide tyres once some tubbing was done.

DT Panels is another option.

DT Panels is another option.

Nope... Only bodywork that I've had done is getting my passenger door replaced after a woman backed her car out of her driveway into it while it was parked.

Insurance job via JCI and went to the lowest bidder (a place on Princes Highway Springvale). Paint was well matched (though, its a flat white, so not that hard really) though everything else was horrible... Snapped a few of the door card panel clips and didn't replace them when swapping it onto the new door, power window is a bit flakey and only works 90% of the time, power mirror hasn't worked since, window was so out of alignment that letting the door swing shut would make it stop with 10cm to go...

JCI said to call the workshop and book it back in for them to fix it. Workshop said to call JCI and book it back in for them to fix it (ETA a week), I said "Hell no you're not getting it back for another week" and fixed a bunch of it myself. Mirror is still dead in the water...

A45 AMG is pretty quick though!

In saying that 230kw on e85 on the r34GTR

Probably similar power to weight to the tuned stock turbo'd R34 GTT which makes 200rwkw at around 1,400kgs

But dat r34 gtr doe #race #rb26 #gloves #e85 #race day # race helmet #security guards #fastest car # most exclusive car

Yeah this part I don't really understand. I had low comp cylinder 1 in my 32R, and stock with 14psi on 100octane it made 250rwkw... On E85 that 34 should be making 300rwkw at least. I don't think a hub dyno would have robbed it of 70kw... Something's not right there!

All 34R qualified mechanics must be SAS reg trained former NASA lead engineers and have obtained at least certificate 2 in crowd control / security operations to work on the vehicles

Which is why it's so hard to find a place who can get you more than 230kw at the wheels

Bahahaha 230kw, seriously? I feel sorry for the guy's hired wife and kids

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
