Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Anfanee]

I've got a HKS super drager on the back of my exhuast. Great flow and noise level is 100% legal. Love this muffler.

I've been trying to. The last 20 images have been to big apparently

open them in paint and resize by like 50% and re save and you can upload. takes two seconds.

[RosieR34]

Yeah - but I'm always on my phone or work PC which we're not allowed to do

One day I'll venture onto my PC to upload an image

[Sklyn]

not allowed to open paint? wow thats extreme! yet you can get personal image on it.. hmmm...

email a few to me if you want and i'll resize and send back =)

[zebra]

My car today...nothing.

But im about to rape someone elses car around ec

[Anfanee]

installed handbrake boot, adjusted handbrake and ill be buying some black paint later to do some stealthing under the bonnet...

[RosieR34]

not allowed to open paint? wow thats extreme! yet you can get personal image on it.. hmmm...

email a few to me if you want and i'll resize and send back =)

Haha we're allowed to use paint - but the uploading is the issue.

Thanks for the offer - I've e-mailed some images back to me so I'll chop and change them this weekend and put up a new one

[Sklyn]

ah ok. I figured as the others were 'too big' that uploading wasn't the issue..

can't have a fellow SAUer not able to share pics !! =D

[RosieR34]

Haha your offer was very kind of you

It's the uploading process it seems. I put any picture up and it says it's too big. I'll give it a crack at home and if all else fails I will just have to stick bluetac on my screen with a nice cut-out photo

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Yeah its funny, you have to play around with different sizes to get it to work.

It doesnt always work with the exact dimensions it asks for. Computers aye.

Today i blasted some speed holes through the inner guards with the welder.

Whoops! No pics till i get some bog and paint to hide my shameful welding.

[Scar]

Well not today, but yesterday... had new rear rotors put on. Also had my car dynoed - 185.8rwkw. Not bad for a stock 1j vvti with a catback and auto .. pretty happy with that running quite rich though, like all Toyota's haha

may have found a manual conversion kit too

[Sinista32]

Dropped new plugs in as the one's in the 32 were fowled and she wouldn't start.

Started first kick and sounded mean as a young bitch.

WOOT

[Got a Pulsar]

Drove over a bump in the road in 2nd gear at Full Throttle and broke traction in a way I have never done before.

Powaaaaah!

[D.I.Y. Mik]

A bit of black today.

Still need to get in the tricky bits, after the first bit dries.

[Got a Pulsar]

Oh wow! Wasn't expecting that. I was thinking Engine Bits not Engine Bay.

Very Nice. You still going Green? Did you see the Green GTR I posted in your Clear vs Orange indicator thread?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Yeah, thats a good pic.

It convinced me to go with orange

And im doing engine bits black too, top of inlet, crossover pipe and cam covers.

[Got a Pulsar]

Yeah, the green with gold rims and orange blinkers looks tasty as.

How bout the Valley cover? I have both RB20 and Rb25 if you need.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Ive spent hours stripping the paint, sanding and polishing my valley cover.

At first it was a bit lumpy, but ive got it good now, sanded nice and flat, just needs final polish.

[Anfanee]

Another detail. This time did a clay bar +3 layers of wax. Recommend the meguiars clay bar kit. Did an amazing job.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Hey Rob, if you want those cam covers shiny and never have to polish again.......

Ever do metalwork at school? remember that Josco buffing compound?

Its REALLY good, very effective. you can buff it so hard even the gouges from the grinder get polished.

And then this clear adhesion promoter, and clear gloss over that, even the tie coat is glossy so you wouldnt really need more clear.

So its polished under the paint, and as you know bare alloy oxidises nearly instantly, but this cant happen now with a protective coating. And no more oil or coolant stains that take ages to buff out.

Anyway you can borrow if you want.

Sweet. Yeah that Resin stuff for the Buffing wheel in Metal Work was exactly what I thought of.

Could use this on my wheels too and get me some shiny back.
