is ur bitch (marc) going to be the one doing that? i can see him doing it hehe

u know what u shoulda done, just walk out without paying :(

ummm you sure you wanna know that shane :(

well he didnt say his legs are sore or anything like that *shrugs*

2 days...is that all? :P

how much of that time is actually washing/waxing though?

flat out for both days lol...but that does include wash, coat of paint cleaner, coat of polish, coat of synthetic wax & a coat of natural wax

yep they certainly are, and the back is usually shot too...i wouldnt even think of using a power buff! as they just put swirls in and can even scratch the paint if ur not careful! (when waxing/polishing u should NEVER work in a circular motion, that only puts swirls in it)

I've never even used one...I would like to hear if anyone has used one and if they are any good. I imagine that the pad used would make a huge difference to the affect on your paintwork (good or bad)

what car products do u use karen?

meguiars...I used to use their professional range, but have started buying the new Tech range now...the ones in the purple and bright green containers. Its not for everyone, but I have always been happy with the results and my paintwork on my car speaks for itself really :(

Shane i was working on the little car in my signature till about midnight last night and midnight the night before aswell. I am racing to night so was just getting maintainence and repairs done.

i use a combo of johnsons & johnsons baby shampoo (yes, u heard correct), meguiars (polish n paint cleaner), autoglym (synthetic wax) & turtlewax (carnuaba wax)

thats it, if the paint on ur car looks great, then theres no reason to change hey :)

I use one...I was getting crap results (Swirling and stuff), then I realised it is doing all the work for you and you dont have to push down hard inorder for it to work! After that I got excellent and painless results!

OK people question

Do you stay with a very cruisy, good but not great paid job that is not very challenging...or do you take a well paid job, that will likely work you like a dog and challange you

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
