Lol really? I don't know, even if my car was a bucket of shit(some would say a c180 is) I'd still look after it cosmetically as well as mechanically(not that I need to)

yeah you love the cosmetics, I mean you're always getting that crappy spray tan put on...

a c180 is shit..but when you get it bring it around for a buff...score me a detailing contract with mercedeses...

i'm fine with keeping an old car, but stop trying to polish a turd ffs.... just, slam it, get some better offset and be done with it... the car is too far gone to be a show car

I'd rather have a clean daily than a poser weekender. Anyone can put together a rough car, but I prefer to put effort in and get a good result at the end. Even if that takes another 7 years at least I will have the car I want and not have regrets about selling.

lol...harsh....but true, be better spent on new paint....I dont bother detailing mine much... :laugh:

plus it sits in my backyard so not much point....occasionally i try a new product on it but thats about as far as i get..

Fyi, The wet sanding was done on a fresh front spray by micolour

I know that feel bro

We can one day pass our car to our Grandkids haha

I wouldn't spend money on regularly detailing a car unless it was somethig special. But whatever car I drive in, I will always detail myself and wash weekly. I used to wash and wax the EA Falcon shitter I drove around in 3 years ago. Hardly worth it to most, but it was the cleanest looking EA Falcon around and the shine goes a long way in making any car look good (provided decent paint).

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
