looks cool, might do that when i get the car retrimmed (dunno throwing up ideas of cow hide in a dark burgandy colour to offset the black in mine like in the Monaro).

Think you went a lil overboard with the glovebox and the steering wheel cover. Little pieces in colour looks good I rection.

i'm with the monkey above...

Door bits look good but maybe over the top with the glovebox and centre console. Now looks a bit too "patchy" with blue just coming out here and there. Maybe u should just spray everything that is plastic blue to keep it consistant?

Overall pretty good result though!

Primer - motorspray acrylic primer surface

Clear - bodytech fast dry enamel

Paint - micra blue paint from autobarn.

The rest is preety cheap from supercheap auto!

needs a whole day to do as u gotta sand the piece, apply primer let dry sand again, apply primer again, dry, 3 coats of paint, dry between each and then 3 coats of clear, dry between each!!

In the end it looks sweet tho

so if wish to do similar what sort of paint is it? you got a brand name or a type of paint? is that any sort of paint for the colour or a specific kind?

i understand about the primer and clear coat.

was thinking to get my centre dash console in silver (not too shiny) kinda steel coloured silver to match my momo race gearknob.

that way I can easily get 300kw at the wheels....

hehehehehehe :bahaha:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
