hahaha. sorry dude. im just in the middle of prepping it for painting. you can see the masking tape up the top.

i was masking the letters and that was the only contact i had lying around. wat you rekon? shud i leave it as is? :O

Haha. I thought you had some trippy paint going on there! :unsure: I think it would look mad if the light illuminated the rainbow colours of the contact.

How far away are you from completing all this? I'm reading up on how to do it now. I'm not sure how to take the black back part off of the front clear part of the rear fascia without breaking it? :rolleyes:

:P:D:ermm:

i fuxored it!!. was doin it in the garage and left both doors open. wind blew all kindsa shit onto it. i dont have time to do it all again today so i just got some thinners and took it back to plastic. sorry guys.

i think i'll wait till i need something painted on my car and get it done professionally. i'll just make the electronics in the meantime.

btw i think it was mentioned b4 that its nearly impossible to get the clear part away from the black. i think what Al did by cutting out the back is the way to go

:huh:

what you got on the letters t here? is that just contact or masking tape..or both.. curious..

so you cut our your black out niroj? I just got my circuit ready yday.. havent tested it out though.. also i havent raked up enough dough to get the bezel professionally painted.. does anyone have an approx cost on how much it might cost?

So I guess I'll have to wait up on that for a while.. however wil test the circuit sometime over teh weekend and post results..

Damn what a bummer! I hate it when stuff like that happens. :P

Yeah I read about cutting out the back part of the panel, but what do you replace it with??? Or do you re-glue it? :no:

following tradition :rolleyes: you could get a qoute off him and let me know as well.. and in case you manage to rip the black plastic out of the clear without creaking it.. do the community a service and let us know :kiss:

nah i havent done anything really productive so far :(. im gonna take my time on this one i think. havent even gotten the electronic components together yet i rekon if i was careful then it may be possible to get out the back bit in one piece. that way it'd be easy to glue/sikaflex it back in.

the stuff on the letters was some funky reflective contact i had lying around (from the days of primary when mum used to contact up all my school stuff). i also taped off the top and bottom of the black plastic with ordinary masking tape..

a quote on the painting would be nice

well you would have to find your own place cause your in Melb... but my guy will probably to it for sweet f**k all... he'll wait til he has a car the same colour to spray, and if its already masked up, just spray it with the car...

If time isnt an issue, he may do it for me for free :rofl: but ill take it to him when i get it off and ask him what he would charge...

gotta get it off first...

:( for free???!?! Okay there we go our deal.. i make u the circuit and fit it in and you get your painter to paint mine as well... how does that sound :laughing-smiley-014:

I dunno, i could probably do most of it myself... that was the plan :(

ill gladly get yours painted at the same time mine is, or even before... its not much, he might need to see your car to get a decent colour match...

but ill have to ask him... doubt he will do it for free to be honest :D

eh? i dont remember saying that. wtf? another fine example of my brain taking a smoko while im doing stuff. i think i meant its possible to cut out a strip of black plastic in one piece. can be used as a lid + sealant. i do remember your warning. got the inspiration from your pics. howd you seal yours?

Oh my bad, it sounded like you wanted to separate the back half from the front :)

I didn't bother with the cut out piece. After mounting the board, i got a tube of sicaflex and coated the whole rear, to seal and support the board. Basically i just squeezed the sicaflex all over the back and used a spatular to smooth it out by running it along the two humps.

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
