I wouldnt use standard sticky / duct / electrical tape, your right - that wouldnt do anything.

However in the picture I found on google, that looks like cloth tape to me.

It's 3m blue painters masking tape. All the ricers use it because it doesn't leave any residue behind and they think it looks cool

I use it for masking off panels when polishing

Reality is clear sticky tape would offer more resistance - simple test, try pushing a ball point through plastic based sticky tape vs paper based masking tape

Yeah judging by the colour, it probably is that 3M tape actually, now you mention it.

Thats the same tape I use when polishing. Very thin - wouldnt do sh*t for your bumpers!

So how does a bidding war work?

Did you deal with the people bidding or with the owner, because i sure as hell wouldnt trust myself from getting greedy when selling a car if i had more than buyer interested :)

I'm not suggesting that a war happened in your case ossie but could not a seller co-opt the help of a phantom bidder when a seller advertises "bids over such & such"?

Easy to do?

Congrats on a sensational motor vehicle - one of the world's best!

Wrong.

Congrats on your purchase. Definitely a good a buy with those KLM's if the car is immaculate. Thanks for letting us know what you paid too, certainly is a very helpful guide. When you look at some of the other cars there for sale, they really are dreaming for what they're asking. As has been said before on this forum 'the market decides'.

Congrats on the purchase,

But for those taping up their cars to stop chips etc... for the love of god, at least get it done using a decent product.

Yes it costs a little more than a roll or 2 of tape, but you can barely see it for one, and it should last for years, and WILL actually stop stone chips, and even minor scratches/scrapes.

We use 3M scotchguard paint protection film. See below. (FYI this image isn't my own)

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
