Malcolm GT Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Wheels look über, need to do my headlights. Presume you just copied the guide off here? Quote
whitestar Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks! Gonna propably paint the wheels white, but not yet...still like 3 months untill it's time to take her out again. So not in a hurry. Actually did a diy + turtlewax kit combo. Sanded the lights first with 800 and 1200 grit sandingpaper. Then used the sanding pads from the kit, then rubbing compound, then used a drill and a polishing pad to swipe the dried compound off. To finish the surface I used the sealing wipe that came with the kit. Came out pretty well. The kit cost 17€ so not bad. Quote
hughes21 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Them headlights look brand new mint job on them mate Quote
whitestar Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Cheers! Yeah very pleased with the result on the lights! Couldn't even imagine that clear finish. Can't wait to get it all back together! Gonna get my manifold from the workshop on thursday! Then I can start to put stuff back together again. Edited January 15, 2013 by whitestar Quote

whitestar Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 These parts keep on comming! AEM Uego and Depo boost gauge! Took 26h from payment for them to arrive, and free delivery! The best customer experience ever. <3 Quote
whitestar Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Not much happening recently since I was having a great time in thailand. But now back in the middle of snow. Installed my actuator yesterday. Next up gauge installation and sand blasting my rocker cover. Need to order a few bits, like pcv valve to get all back together, but soon I can start to put stuff back together! Quote
whitestar Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Cheers fellas! Got good news today! My stuck coilover works now! Took it to a local racing company, they got it loose. Gonna get it back tomorrow with my sodablasted rocker cover. So lots of stuff to do this weekend! Also planned to take my TTE wheels to tyre shop to take the tires off so I can have them soda blasted too. Going to prepare them myself for painter. Propably some interesting color comming up for those. ;) Sunday might be the day to start put my engine back together, or maybe adjust my suspension again. Going to put LOADS of copper paste to the threads to prevent them getting stuck again, ffs. Edited March 7, 2013 by whitestar Quote
whitestar Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Sneeky peek of my new rimmmmz ;P Gonna get them painted soon, propably I'll do the rocker cover the same color too. Edited March 15, 2013 by whitestar Quote
whitestar Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Ok got some gauges installed the other day too. I was chuffed that they lit up and seemed to be working fine. couldn't start the engine yet though, it looks like this atm. This is the once so stuck coilover. Works fine now, but the threads have seen better days. Now it's covered in copper paste. The mofo wont't get stuck again, EVER! Edited March 15, 2013 by whitestar Quote
whitestar Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Wanted to try fabricating my own gauge pod and it's coming along nicely Quote
whitestar Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 YEEHAW, got my new rims powder coated! Was going to keep this a secret a while longer but just can't. Also got the rocker cover powdercoated to same colour. Quote
Amjad Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Ooh those are quite nice! 16s? They remind me of the 15" TTE alloys one or two people on here have had Quote
whitestar Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Yes, 16x7.5" ET35 with 195/40 falkens. Those are TTE Grand Stands. Optional extras with corolla and celica back in the days! Quote
whitestar Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 It's RAL6027. Depending on light, it looks more blue or green. Quote
whitestar Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Another pic of the new wheels, got the crappy peugeot van out of way finaly. ;) Also a sneak peek of the engine bay. More of it when it's all together and cleaned! Quote
