Are you using a heatgun on the paint Aaron?

yeh you need one

Yes you will need to for sure. Rob did his with a roller and gun, plus some scotch.

Athid is a sure bet though, will be done perfect.

Athid is the bawwwss when it comes to guard rolling.

Yeh Athid was really good, he did my stagea. called him about a few cars though (mine and a e46) and he didnt want to touch them - for fair enough reasons, I wanted mine flared to all buggery which he didnt want to do because of the paint, and e46 guards are a pain in the ass and told me the guy will struggle to fit the wheels.

ended up buying a guard roller, and heat gun for what it wouldve cost, and did it myself. e46 guy was pulling himself, and alot of BMW owners started calling me offering $150 per guard!!

and I flared mine a shite load which I was happy with!

plus done a few guards now and the roller and gun payed themselves off = win for me

Yeh took me about 3-4 days about 2-3 hours each day to get them absolutely right!

Using di-grinders and everything to push out the inner guard. When he gets back from Miami I'll get some pictures..

But here's a pic of what he did to the e46 a few weeks back. So I sent him this

Uy4we+pu_original.jpg

it's an external GPS receiver.

so much more accurate than the one in you phone.

you connect this to your phone via bluetooth and run software such as:

http://www.racechrono.com/

this is the most common one as it free.

then you can download track from their site, and you get trap points lap times and speed logged, which can be overlaid on your video similar to Richo or JP's

this is also how we give real vmax and such not relying on inaccurate speedos.

If I get addicted to Tracking after Sandown

I think I will look into highflowing my turbo, just so my old stock 160,000km turbo doesn't decide to shatter itself and take bits of the engine with it.

I'll keep the injectors stock so I can still compete in the 'standard' class :P

Should be good for 220-230rwkw and more reliable for the track

I could just change the rears and step back down....

Give us noobs a chance

The only trophy I got is one with someone else's name on it from the SAU VIC Storage locker LOL

after trying semi's there no going back anyhow

no point spending money to go slower.

I have no need for trophy's..

A good drive is the only prize I need :D

true homo words.

The next std class champion in the making right here. Who will step up :happy:

wait what class would that put me in if i was to enter?

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
