i bought mothers 3 step waxing system to use on my car?? dunno how good it is though??

i havnt used it, so i cant comment. But what i do is wash the car, then paint clean it, then polish it, then synthetic wax it, then natural wax it. and then when i wash it the next time i use some detail spray after washing it :)

Yes im pedantic, but the car looks soo horn

well the 3 step is a :

Step 1 : pre-wax cleaner,

Step 2 : sealer and glazer

Step 3 : caranuba wax

I have used the zymol range and found it to be the best so far (have tried meguirers, and mothers as well). If you were really being podantic shanef I have a mate who has this wax that has to be refrigerated when not being used but once done looks awesome.

yeh the wax i want from zymol needs to be kept refridgerated, and applied only by bare hands...wat is the stuff ur friend uses?

do u machine buff or hand wax??

hand wax, id never use a buff (it puts swirls in caus it moves in a circular fashion, i work in straight lines)

hmm sounds about right, the zymol stuff ain't cheap but is good

indeed, gonna cost me around $400 for all the gear i want

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
