Craved do a good job, I've seen his work on someone elses covers and it looks great

or if you want to cheap out you can do what I did and spray them with touch up paint from super cheap, painted mine evoke metallic (VE Holden colour):

Awesome bloke to deal with, good pricing and REALLY goes the extra mile to get it done right.....

You can coat it yourself with paint like the guys have below (looks pretty good) but if your not confident then you cant go wrong with Craved :D

And NO i have nothing to do with them, i was just a VERY happy customer and like to share the experience!!

I have also heard nothing but great things about craved and I am up in QLD so the reputation crave has actually gets around.

Agree ^

I live in Perth, but I'm seriously considering ripping off my rocker covers when I get my car back and posting them to Craved to do. If only I could commit to a colour...

Goes to show that good workmanship etc goes a long way.... And word of mouth/keyboard etc.... :woot:

Colour? Dont want it to clash with your purple and chrome? :wub:

Exactly haha. I had decided on metallic gun metal, but thought it wasn't original enough. So then decided dark blue at the back of the covers, fading into a metallic black at the front. But then decided that looks too rice for me. So then I thought just metallic black, but now I don't think that will stand out enough. At the moment I'm thinking of blue, but everyone gets blue... So now I'm getting nothing :P

anyone in Sydney should speak to Competition Coatings in guilford.... Search for Compcoat in google to find them..

They ceramic coated my turbo, intake and exhaust manifolds, rocker covers, throttle body and cooler piping....

The car isnt back together yet but here is a pic so far....

    • Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?
    • It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time
    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
