Dont park under trees.

Dont park on main roads.

Dont follow trucks, trailers, or anything with a mitsubishi badge.

Quick rinse off and chamois or just a static dusting every day makes it look perfect for the next day.

Car cover at night. Even in a garage.

Silicone spray is the best one for tyres. Forget the rest.

Clean wheels + glossy tyres + clean glass = the biggest difference, if youre too busy/slack to do the rest.

It all depends on how you want to be seen, really... and mine are always chauffeur-driven standard.

Amazing as it may seem, MR SHEEN does a cracking job of dash, tyres, plastic, leather and chrome. Used it on my last few cars with amazing results!!

And no im not talking about charlie. I dont want my car to end up looking like a cheap ho covered in crack... :nyaanyaa:

I prefer dark colour cars.. they're more rewarding to detail :) And guys like WaxIt or CarCareProducts will probably hate me, but you don't really need to be spending hundreds of dollars on Swissvax products to get a nice result, it's all in the prep-work and maintenance.

All I use is a hose, shammy and a little kiss on the bonnet and a nice stroke of the Varex exhaust. Nah I use what ever the detailer at work uses or what everyone else has on them at car shows (even though i've only been to one car show)

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
