Here is an example of that IronX stuff I was telling you guys about whilst in SA, Im cleaning my spare set of rims to use.

It removes all the brake dust that starts to rust and turns brown, you can use this on any surface, detailers even use it on the whole car to remove iron that is in brake dust from the paint...

before and after shots....

I didnt take photos of the front unfortunately as they come up even better since they get wash more.

its spray on I use a toothbrush so I only have to do it once and hose off, you can do it multiple time without using a toothbrush, but its not cheap stuff so I like to get the most out of it....

So Luke, all that brown brake dust on your awesome LMGT4s will be gone and the rims will look smick again...

I even use this stuff on my brake calipers and suspension parts to clean them up... works perfect

This belongs in the cool tools thread. :)

Speaking of dropping second, did you have a cool photo of my car creating warming up the tyres??

sorry Scott... No photos... Videos yes... :P

Ill have to get them off the missus phone.

I've got some.

It's is pretty harsh stuff. I use it as a paint cleanser when detailing. You do it before you clay bar. I have used it on wheels, with a mixed result. Good on lightly contaminated clean wheels, but it won't lift real heavy old stained wheels.

And it smells like Shit.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
