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

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
