Tried a secret new way of detailing engine bay. I think it came up pretty amazing. Love a nice clean car :(

p.s awesome colour & wheel choice player_hater.

whats the secret new way you detailed your engine, im bored i feel liek detailing mine but just dont know what to use, pm me if you can, by the way nice clean engine bay mate

cheers tony

player_hater- nice car mate, wheels look nice aswell

LOL I just gave it a good hose down, then wiped over everything with warm soapy water, then wiped it down again with an old (clean) rag, and then used some tyre shine on the black rubber parts, then let it dry for an hour or so...

If you look close enough, the IC piping and strut brace still need a good polish but that can wait til later on.

tire shine :O:O:O:O too oily and with the heat it spreads everywhere and makes an ugly mess. do the washing and wiping part make sure u do a good job cleaning all the grease and oils off and then after blow the engine down with the compressor (be carefull around the electronics) to get rid of excess water build up let it dry up good and then silicone spray it!! trust me its the best and only way it should b done :domokun:

Oh will have to try that one next time. As for the tyre shine, it still looks great now after driving around for the night so maybe its just with different tyre shines. I only used a fairly no name brand one? And not the foamy one lol.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
