Hi guys,

Looking at getting a car cover because I'll be moving eventually and leaving the car at home. No room for it in the city. Anyone have any suggestions? It'll be removed every now and then when I come home, and for track events, but other than that, I guess something that's got a fairly solid "skin", to stop water getting through when it rains?

Just 2 seconds on google, are Kenco any good? Saw one on the Supercrap website, $129.

Any other recommendations?

(thought of this after seeing Chubbs lol it up in a SAUVIC thread)

i use to work at supershitauto, years back, all i remember get one with a good inside, and make sure your car is clean, if you got a dirty car with anything over it in the wind and that shit will rub and scratch. cant really remember which was the best... but i do remember you get what you pay for

I had a autotechnica brand one for a few years. It was silver in colour was soft inside and had padding on top to protect it from falling sticks and hail. got it from Autobarn, its nice and thick and lasts for years. I tried another cover that was quite thin and it only lasted a month before i took it back for a refund, so i recomend getting something on the thick side.

Two seconds on Google, Owen:

CarCareProducts.com.au

and

CoverCraft.

(CoverCraft are pretty much 2mins from my house, so if you find something and order it, I can pick it up for you and save you the cost of shipping.)

I hit Google up and had heaps of sites; just figured some people here might have used some of them before and swore by them :(

Looks good man... If I end up getting one there, I'll let you know.

One thing to keep in mind. Try and find one without any stitched seems running through the middle or anywhere but around the edges. Basically look for a one piece otherwise any seems will scratch the crap out of the paint any time it moves.

and just to be on a safer side... get an old blanket or quilt and put that on the car.. then wrap the cover around it... for teh extra sofffffffnessss and make sure it's tied properly... like ... really tight.. that is all.

    • 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.
