Same thing ? :O

For Tristan:

How to properly repair rust, something which whoever did the dodgy-ass job on your 180 should take note of (Note: not the job Dave did last weekend, that shit is legit. I am talking about whoever did the original abortion). Bought to you by Garage 31.

Step 1: Actually remove all the rust.

Step 2: Apply paint. For best results, this should be the same colour as the original paint and done by someone who knows what they are doing. But at the very least paint it with something, to prevent MORE rust.

Step 3: Profit.

Result:

Big thanks to Dan for coming and doing the major bits of painting last night!

After lunch, all the panels will be going back on. Then its a trip to the paint shop tomorrow to try and sort out the dodgy ones...

agreed - grinding back, and exposing the rust - and not treating it at all is a piss weak effort, much can be said about such questionable workmanship

however,

another thought for rust (not removal, but maybe containing?) is when u have a small amount of rust from where the paint cracked when u rolled your guards - simply cover it with some clear nail polish - and it will contain it, until u are ready to remove it and fix it correctly (usually done when car is re-sprayed)

i am going to do this once it stops raining and it is dry ;)

the job you've done in the pics looks quality mang!

ps, also ordered some epic headlights - hopefully ill actaully be able to see more than 10metres in front of me hahahha

Yep, I've been busy fixing all the rust from guard rolling too. I sand the rust off, and then hit it with touch up paint.

But good call on the nail polish, that should stop it rusting at all if you apply it as soon as the paint starts to crack.

im going to dodge the f**k out of you

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
