Car looks mint.

Looks tough with all those blind corners and sweepers. How was the under steer?

yer some corners, by the end, you knew was there even though you couldnt see them. you just had to hold your nerve and power through.

Had a bit of understeer in the real tight stuff right up the top. but on such a narrow track it felt like a huge car compared to it

Thanks mate.

I just use the old fashion spray painters trick i was taught when i was panel beating and spray painting..

After the respray i wetsanded with 2000 grit and used some Maguires swirl x remover with a wool pad.

Next step i repeated this process but with maguires ultimate compound with a wool pad - make sure you buff the hazzyness out before polishing.

Now i start the polishing.

I use Autosmart Cherry Glaze.

I apply it to 1 panel at a time nice and thick and with a new wool pad i buff the polish in on a low speed setting untill the hazzyness is gone and its like a mirror.

After iv done that i reapply polish on the car by hand and leave it overnight before wiping it off with a cloth nappy.

Thats how i get the result in the second pic.

Upclose you can tell the difference after its done its like a mirror.

The only think you have to keep doing is polishing after every wash.

The 2nd photo was taken a month ago and i washed the car today for the first time since then and it was dirty but come up like new again and its in the shed with polish on it now ill be getting off before work at 7am in the morning.

Im getting a few touch ups done on the car so ill make a video when im doing it to post on the diy section

Appreciate the sharing mate...definitely an industry trick as it does look very good.

I like how your car is clean. Keep away from any stickers or "ricey" items and you'll be on the straight and narrow! :-)

Thanks again mate.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
