well, i finally got around to welding the cracked gaurd, the area is covered in black paint to stop rusting.

now thing is, once my suspension is in, i wanna take my car to work, strip all the paint off, put it in the spray booth......but what colour should i paint it?

im not into bright oranges or yellows for myself, though i dont have any grief with it (hell, nigels supra, and my brother inlaws rodeo, look damn horn!)

i'd like to do red again but probably more darker or something

people, recomend me a colour and a reference to that colour through a picture or something, GIVE ME A HELPING HAND MF!

yes candy red would look crazy

but go for a silver base IMO

IMO with silver base it will only make the candy red looks like just another metallic red, as metallic base are silverish. The idea with gold base is to add more intensity to the red overcoat because gold has some yellowish metallic spectrum in it.

On the other hand, harlequin will look crazy but depends on what u want, doxx... is that too flashy for you to drive on the street? Or u want ur car to be show car from now on... well garaged, displayed at annual MAS, etc..... :D up to u mate, quite a few ideas here.

yeah a harlequin is way to much for little ol' me :D

thanks for the ideas guys

anymore? :) :)

and shan, yeah we have a spray booth to paint glass splashbacks.....and its coincidently big enough to fit cars in there

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
