No they're not commadore rims. Although they do like like em. But I was like the first person to by that series of rim. I swear!

Yep its my chop. Just messing around. I just wanted to see if I could make my car yellow. It was fairly tricky. Didn't spend too much time with the rest of it though.

well if you have photoshop, open an image of a car with a black/dark panel, then what you do is make a new layer, and then just airbrush over it in a bright colour like yellow you don't have to be accurate or nothing just go skitz over the area. Then in the layer properties where it says blending, set it to colour dodge, then djust the opacity till you have something that looks like the yellow in the pic above... and that's sort of what colour dodge is.

you should get something like in the attachment below.

the only reason changing a black car into any colour is the fact that black never shows the full range of depth in a colour that standard base colours do. Keep in mind black is when no light is reflected, the only thing reflecting light is the polish on the topcoat.

So... keeping that in mind, one can possibly get "some" depth out of a black car by taking the image of the surface, use a gaussian blur, then adjust the curves of hue saturation etc until you have a transitional depth, and then blend it back to grey. You then use this greyscale map over a base colour to create an "extrapolated field of depth".

So there you go, how to make black into a colour and make it look good... now get cracking.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
