Anyone ever seen that plastidip shit in person?

Looks to good to be true, but if it peels off the windows that easily what's to stop it doing the same on your panels?

I guess people wouldn't know the difference if its done right. And it's only that easy to peel off if it's half cured I think. Meant to be a bit harder or almost like vinyl when it's on for a few hours

Would do the EA for a laugh but I'd say the paint needs to be good to begin with, or prepped, and I won't do that

Yeh I think it needs to be pretty well prepped like clay bard or something. But I would do a panel that I have laying around at home first before I attacked my car

Got 2 mates that would be interested in doing in.

What sort of costs would you be looking at to do the plasti dip?

Well after checking my bank history turns out I never actually confirmed payment, so I'll probably buy it in a couple of weeks. I'm happy to do other peoples cars but would want to do mine first to see whats involved and if I actually do a good job for starters

Lol I posted a picture and they all started crying because they are varrstoens. Took them a while to figure out that it isn't their car. Lol

Yeah cuz Varrstoens aren't JDM AS FUCK!

Actually an NS member posted a topic about ROTA Wheels.

Was an interesting read.

Don't be mean they will cry

Lol yeh man I'm sick of the debates though.

LOL!

Yeah, once you're on NS for a bit you can actually filter out the shit.

I like NS.com, there are some good members on there who know their stuff and you can find some interesting threads.

I think I will now

The thread topic is usually a straight up give away if the topic is going to be good or not.

Then you read the first few post, if it's all shit talk = Shit thread.

Constructive discussion = Good thread.

Nisskid has the know-how.

In one thread, he was explaining to us about the types of wheel qualities and builds through out different brands.

I just asked them where I can get volk rays stickers from

LOL! For the trololols!

I bought a sticker set from On The Run Motorsport.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
