scutch0 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Rich GReddy = crashbar retentionyes but, si, greddy = dirty great hole in bank balanceplus you know what im like for spending money! high heat primer i guess?nope. basic grey primer. if you prep the surface well you wont need any special primers. and i dont use plastic primer either... its just a waste of time. basic grey primer is what i use for all my spraying.my old n/a is still running around with its painted cam cover, fuel rail and inlet manifold and thats not started coming off yet, and i sprayed that the same way!minted mate, that looks well smart, thats a decent choice of color cheers geo. glad you like it!

RobSR Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 what si (fishy89) said about the autobahn ones may of been wrong,....ive heard you can keep the crash bar on an EP82, but not on the EP91...!Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 base coat?is this different to the 'paint' in your steps above man??we've been doin it - primer, layer of paint, another layer or paint, another if necessary, laquer.wot for is the base coat for?Phil.

scutch0 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 yes phil mate, i use a gloss white basecoat, this really brings the colour out with only one coat of the colour you want, instead of doing 3-4 coats to get the colour right you can do it with 1-2 coats, plus it give a much glossier finish at the end.depends on what colour your using tho. i just use white constantly, as it makes the paint alot brighter.

scutch0 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 hks actuator updatei bought a unused hks actuator off fishy on sunday, and went about fitting it yesterday morning. was a bit of a mission but nothing too intense, but the efi pipe had to come off which was tricky, and then it wouldnt clear the new actuator.. but i did the whole job in just over an hour which was nice. i initially set it to .8bar, but once i fitted it it was suffering for very slight boost creep in 4th and 5th and brought the engine management light on as it peaked at .9bar.so i had to adjust it (which i could do on the car thankfully) down to .7-.75bar which is perfect as it creeps to .8 in 4th and 5th.also gave it a wash and wax over my week off.fittednice and cleanall this time i had been bitching that my glanza was underpowered, and i now think ive solved it, ive changed the thermostat which solved the massive overfueling, and the lack of power and changed back to the stock bov which has really helped torque but since fitting the actuator i see what all the fuss is about! much quicker. im the happiest ive ever been with the car now! :angry: Rich.
