Hey Phill,

your only option is to get them painted.

The centre cover is plastic, therefor can not be powder coated, also the cam cover has a rubber seal which will perish in the oven.

Go to a good painter and get all the items you have listed painted.

But if you really want a good powder coater, for other items, the guy that has done all my items, including my rims, is in Airport West. Problem is that he is currently in Perth, on holiday, till mid Jan.

He has a great silver for you ic/intake pipes, similar to the ones in the pic.

Hey Phill, can you give me a call tomorrow, after 1pm, on 0427 076490.

I'll explain how to get your parts done then.

It's his dad's business, but he left (had enough of the constant father/son feuds). He still does all the fiddly jobs for him though and also does alot of work on the side, as he is a better coater than his old man.

Phil, if you feel like a drive to Winsor/St.Kilda you can come and see my stuff in the flesh.

My mate (Mick/MiColour) - is Cheltenham, but 11/10 work.

The pics ive taken don't seem to show the quality, far better to look at than powder coating and i think what your looking for is similar to what ive had done.

Colours are obviously different but you get the idea.

Here is a "pic", but looks very much better in decent natural light... bear in mind its not totally finished either.

Ive have bit more work done on it all since then

i would imagine it to be a good few hundred, but then thats

Plenum

Rockers

Cam cover

Belt cover

Intake piping x2

So a fair bit of prep work and spray work involved.

Its a custom colour of silver that was made up for my car, and is also on a certain persons wheels, other than that no-one else has that one :)

Looks a bit different in the light that's for sure

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
