No major updates on this really, for my cooler piping done, bought a pair of 16x8 +22 formula mesh for real cheap from a dude round the corner from my place.

Then taxback happened and stupidly I bought another pair of reverse mesh in 16x9 +25 and a bride zeta 3 to match my other one I Already had. both at good prices but money I didn't need to spend.

Zeta will be here in 2 weeks meshies in 2 months.

Guess I got no choice but to finish sanding and prepping the car for paint now and finishing the bay haha

Thanks man, nathan from fabulous fab is king of stainless piping. And yeah thats probably a hondalyf thing. Was planning on doing the whole car midnight purple but not keen on trying to spray a metallic colour for my first so just gonna try a gloss black.

Then got told we had to take 3 weeks holidays over christmas, so that sealed the deal for me to attempt my first spray job.

But before i could start i decided I'd order a guard roller off ebay being cheap at 80 bucks and give it a crack, wanting to do it before i sprayed so i avoided cracking of paint.

So guard started like this

And i ended up getting very carried away and went from rolling, to mashing my inner guard skin out with a hammer and just cranking on the roller to pump the guards. Not perfect, maybe borderline beginning to be verandah guards, but i'm happy with them. If i had bigger lower offset wheels i probably would of tried the magazine trick but f**k it. YOLO and shit.

Will get a shot up of my spray booth *cough* wedding marquee* and the car stripped back tomorrow,

So far the boot lid is off, rear lights and garnish and boot trims are out and the chrome surround from the rear window is out. Shall finish taking the chrome garnishs and door seals off tomorrow, then mask it up, fix the few rust spots below rear window and i'll start sanding this muuf**ka back in prep for primer.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
