But when you're thinking about getting it printed on a T-shirt it'll be vinyl for whatever desing you choose so simpler the better! But those T-shirts would be cool as fook if you could get them done Gaz!!

It'll look tacky over time mate! The woman who owned my bro's S13 before him sprayed the water bottles and viscous fan cowling silver - it looked well shit! Suppose you could spray them black or something to make them more inconspicuous but colours I'd stay away from! Also you still want to see how much PAS fluid you've got etc -- so remember practicalities like that!

Is it a sig or an avatar you're looking for?

Getting a good shine out of a white car???
lobotomy replied to stan_the_man's topic in Exterior Design
I know you're into your "slag" look mate -- and on most topics I completely agree with you (although personally I'd say things in a different... less blunt manner) but that's possibly the worst approach you can take to washing a car! Cheaper car shampoo's and stuff you find in the "cupboard" are generally harmful to the paintwork and contain harmful detergents! And as for sponges (I occasionally do use them) but I try to use my lambswool mit because the dirt gets caught deep inside the fibres and drawn away from the paintwork rather than trapped on the surface of the sponge scratching the surf -
Well here's Toymota's! Personally I think it looks pretty damn good! But I have seen a Focus from around my way that had metallic black paint but a CF bonnet and wings and from a distance it did look pretty dodgy looking! But who cares as long as YOU know it's CF then it's cool If I had a spare £450 lying around I'd have one -- but I've got nice gauges and some other electronic goodies to get for mine first before much gets spent on styling!

That clip with McRae doesn't have the tarmac section -- he would've beaten the other guy easily if he hadn't have rolled -- I mean crazy bloody americans putting artificial jumps and ramps into a rally event!!

The semi-synth won't have damaged your turbo -- but could be showing early signs of your turbo seals going (as the oil is getting through when the oil is hot)

I saw a girl driving a silver Glanza heading into dennistoun the other month -- flashed and waved but don't think she had a clue that we were driving the same kind of car! Either that or she was in awe of my car...

Went to give it a shot -- created the .pdf but I didn't fancy printing the 44 sheets of A4 it wanted me too though!

Heh -- you see his mate at one point!

Got my Corolla Inlet - Paint/chrome/polish????
lobotomy replied to stan_the_man's topic in N/A E-Series Engine Discussions
Would be worried if my inlet manifold was getting hot enough to require heat proof spray paint! And I agree with Scutch -- reckon it would be a bit hard to polish up because of all the little nooks and crannies though you could give it a shot! Would look pretty impressive! I go with my first suggestion though! Powdercoat it! (if you wanna spend a few bob on it) Plus the guy down my way has loads of cool powder effects and colours -- you can get chrome effect for instance! -
Is it a clicking noise like a relay or a tappety noise? Could be the injectors?

Ayrshire -- bloody Glanza central! Yours... Wullies... Olives?? Haha just glad mines black!

Good idea -- everyone to my bit next tuesday then? Ah crap wait -- everyone stays a bit far apart... bummer!

trying to make it over bus bollards! i dont think so
lobotomy replied to oli_h's topic in Jokes & Fun Stuff
Those bollards go up really quickly though -- I agree if you didn't know the area that could be quite dangerous! -- can you imagine if it caught a car on the side and flipped it onto some pedestrians -- wouldn't be such a money earner for the council then eh? -
Anything the cossie can do the tasty looking hippo sleek'esque S13 can do too! Take it the 5-0 in london are dealing with terrorism when all this is happening? Wonder how he got home? looked like his good wheels so wouldn't imagine he'd have a spare set in the boot?

Just shows you how young I'm feeling

You sound like a 15 year old

Were you ever on the stands with the scottish jap club or rev devils? There were a couple MX5's a few times (well eunos roadsters) with superchargers and stuff... Got any pics of your old car?

It's FRP -- but you'd need to do some bloody modifying!!!! I don't have any money Si -- but would you take a kidney? I've got one more of them than I need! The cruise bonnet is lovely!
