Just had my side skirts fitted and it's not a 100% fit with small gaps here and there since it's fibreglass .. So I need to fill in some small 1-2mm sections and I was wondering if there's any sealant that would work well ?? it would have to be black in colour as my car is black and not crack in the sun/rain (atleast not for a few years)

any tips ? cheers

whoa, builders products are a big massive no no. Shaving and working the fibre glass, shaving and sometimes adding is the correct way to do it.

But if you must seal the Urathane/ Sika , Sikaflex from a automotive place is the go.

this is usually black and the reason its a bad idea is painting skirts, bars etc on the car is not the right way to go about it.

but if you are make sure you do get a automotive sikeflex/urathane and make sure its not silicone based!!

there's an automotive version of the sikaflex stuff as posted above? it doesn't state that this product is for any particular industry so I'm not sure if they have an automotive one ..do they ?

Speaking of which I do need to get the side skirts resprayed as carmate's spraypainter is a f**king retard (it's the worst paintjob ever!) Can this be done with the skirts still on the car as they've been glued on...

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
