Liam_D Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 You tried Camskill for the Tyres matey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yeah Camskill are out of stock. Uber scrubbage is definitely on the cards, hopefully the new tyres will help that though!Cheers Lewis. The Varis style have sold like hot cakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Looks awesome, Seen an other Renult with this colour today, the more you see it the better it gets, the pictures don't do the colour justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayep91 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 your glanza is looking sweet dude i think them drifts would look better on my car tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Please please please try a JAM lip on with this bumper!! Would look the tits and lets face it, make the demo car stand out even more with all the Varis bumpers doing the rounds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'll give it a try some time mate Cheers for the comments guys. I've had the wheels shotblasted but can't paint them until I have this exam out of the way - off to revise I go, ciao!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 The plan was to have the wheels powder coated, but a day after dropped them off I was reminded by Shib786 about many horror stories of wheels literally cracking after being powder coated (including a set of his own). So I got straight on the phone to the company and asked them to have them just shot blasted so I can paint them myself.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Same metallic blue as the bay, I dont care about everyone does bright coloured wheels blah blah blah this car can pull it off and it will look awsome!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 What colour are you planning to do the wheels then?Also JAM/Varis bumper FTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazzac2222 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Wheels cracking after powdercoating?? i just cant see this happening, when put in the oven its not a very high temperature at all and its a steady temperature gain and when taken out its not a sudden drop in temp so no way can they crack, ive had many wheels powdercoated and not one of them have cracked or had any defect, i hear this alot and i just cant see it happening, a very very cheap set of alloys made from crap then maybe, get them powdercoated iddy, youll be gutted when you get many stone chips in the paint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeroen W. Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Here in Holland there is a Company that Powdercoat Rims all the time.. and no one includin me didn't come back..So i think Shib786 has not a good company for powdercoating.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Wheels looking good mate!!There have been loads of cases of powdercoated wheels cracking/shattering guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie ryan Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 what colour you going?and painting wheels is better if you kerb them dont have to send them off for powder coating again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm still undecided on the colour, I'll see what I come across at the paint shop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 One exam was awesome, answered every question with confidence. However the other was a nightmare, stated up all night revising but my mind went blank in the exam! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Right then, heres an update.. Not a very big one, but more detailed than normal as one of my mates came over who loves his photography!I picked up another set of ARP headbolts so the head is fitted and the bottom end is back together. I'll hopefully get some more done tomorrow such as the sump, oil pick up and the turbo kit fitted.Hopefully I'll have the wastegate welded shut on the TD05 tomorrow so she will be ready to go on.Cams also going back in..A couple of randoms. Please excuse the dirt in all the pictures, I didn't expect him to bring his new camera over!Please please no dibs on my Purple gloves, I'm not selling them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
