Also will be dirty in 2 days, because black.

im actually getting tired of it with the gloria. sometimes its worth it. but when washing the car when its warm or even partial sunlight, its a race against time. Drying/chamois has never been so f**king time consuming AND so important. and mine isnt even daily. dunno how people do it.

found out trying photograph black cars at night in average lighting, with average camera skills is hard.

yeah i washed it the other week on a hot day.. ended up just as dirty when i began almost lol

dried up water dots everywhere, when it's clean looks goooooood though

been toying with the idea of selling one of my bikes, and convincing dad to go halfies build an old rotor, big block or similar with me.. wonder if he'd go for it. (torana, cortina, old mazda, datto 260 etc) club reg it

^ good move.

Dont go rotar leigh...

First rule of rotaries: know how to build a rotary.

I was reading about the different porting you can do, and blimey it was scary how they can predict the life of the engine down to the 100's of kms (mind you, not too hard when things only last a few thousand of kms)

but .. but.. they're so cool.

wouldn't mind throwing a ford xr6t engine in something too for fun, would only do if dad went halfies doe, dont have teh cash

he restored a valiant charger but sold it a few years ago, was mint :(

No ones discounting your polishing (pic below was pre-wax), but waxes deepen the shine; you saw the diff once it had it on there

What sort of coatings on it.. Dry with a good wet micro towel to get the bulk off, ( not a fan of chamois)then spray some quick detailer or something on the towel and go over it again.. Still time consuming but can be done in 10-15mins..

Haha if you want another, I'll get you to go over Leesh's...it's got a lot of cobwebs and some light marring.

Actually need to get her rear bar re-glasses and gone over too.

No one wants to touch the fiberglass

Have a chicken tonight jar worth of paint though if you wanna glass and spray it

I did say we could fix it, somehow..

Probably because some numpty fused the bumper the body, it cant be taken off for repair.. But we can patch it up if you want..

Anyway I'm too busy lately to do much.. Haven't washed my own cars for yonks

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
