Sam44 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Really enjoying people's builds. Getting skills. I need to get mine painted. Full paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Had an impulse and purchased an air compressor spray gun and all the bits to go with it at least will give me something to do if we get locked down 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JxckGlanza Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Wow that was a serious read. 65 pages start to finish, good to see a serious loyal glanza owner lol. Great build and hope you keep up with it even though I really don’t know how those blue wheels make me feel haha. I saw you wanted a wolf ecu last year. Sounds crazy in this day and age to pay for one of those. Surely could speak to rob at fiske and get a link sorted for the same kinda price. over the years you’ve not really had a bad word to say about Tuning Developments does it still stand like that? Still speak highly of them? Your old evo recaro what’s happened to it? Would be interested in buying the pair If I’m honest, any possibility ? You could use that to get a passenger fixed haha.

akyakapotter Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hey dude still stands with td good mates with Mike speak to him every over week. Wolf is the chosen ECU td use for mapping so I'll go with that when the time comes. Seats in my girlfriend's loft lol not for sale though. Thanks for the kind words.

akyakapotter Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 First time using a proper spray gun today only primer sooo much better than using spray cans. Tomorrow I'll get some onto the skirts give it all a rub down then paint it all got loads of time now as I'm on furlough for 2 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 good effort mate. nice to see youve got a filter on the gun also. Have you got a little regulator on the gun? you might find that helps. I know you have one on the compressor but one on the gun allows you to fine tune what your actually getting at the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JxckGlanza Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hiya mate, where do you get your paint from? what company u use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah got one on the gun aswell isn't any good mind you tells me pressure at the gun but as soon as I pull the trigger it goes to zero and sod all adjustment on it even though it has a adjustment nob that's what you get for getting it off Amazon lol. 14 hours ago, JxckGlanza said: Hiya mate, where do you get your paint from? what company u use?

akyakapotter Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 So..... May have got to the point where the genuine livesports skirts done my nut in one to many times this happend So they are no more oops I'll order a set of fisk ones they do the next run. Off down my garage the other day to get my oem skirts that I painted black when I had my na to bring home and repaint white for the time being. They will do for the time being better than no skirts at all. I'll get the rear splitter sorted at some point and back on probly repaint the rear bumper aswell as I wasn't happy with it. Thinking about raising the car 5 - 10 mm aswell as I keep having problems with rubbing on the arches. Cheers nick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Had this delivered today hopefully will stop the rear main leaking oil seams to do it not long after changing the seal I'd assume it's because there is a ring right round the crank end so it seeps past the seal.

akyakapotter Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Yes mate it's a sleeve for the crank to cover the damage so the seal has a nice surface to seal to hopefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
