New 4Power battery and rear subframe bushes arrived yesterday.



Started engine yesterday and it was running a bit rich (14.1 without lambda).
Have to adjust it today with nistune.


This week project is polishing lips

[Guula]

Got pic of my steering wheel upholstered More pics coming when i get it back

Front bumper / lip painted

New battery installed. I did also new cables for battery and cleaned all grounding spots.

I had hot starting problems (injectors didnt open) but with new battery and cables all problems are gone

front looks sooo smooth

Love the composites work in here.

Did you create the foam plugs for your duck wing and front lip yourself? Top notch work there. I assume they are made with a polyurethane foam or PVC foam? How did you go about making them dimensionally accurate and symmetrical?

so wheels are getting painted, not powdercoated? any reason why?

[shaunus]

My guess is better selection of colours

I dont like orange peel what you get in powdercoating

If you go to special color in powdercoating, orange peel get even worse because of the layers.

[djr81]
