Idrees Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 If your keeping the SR graphics I think you should get the side ones made up again, without the gap for the bump strip! Quote
RobSR Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 Been busy doing some engine detailing/spraying...as it was a bit of a mess....still a long way to go, but have to start some where - Did the fuse box cover, washer bottle cover, and the rad overflow bottle...^Theres one little dimple, but it isnt to bad....may get some mini decals to line up down it to cover it up....In that pic you can also see i need a battery clamp..so if anyone has one drop me a PM please Ill start on the headcover tomorrow aswell, as the rad brackets!As for the SR Decals, ill see if toyota have any hanging around, and then if not, ill make some enquireys about getting some made up Rob Quote

JAG Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Glanza S InjectorsAm i right in thinking that a glanza S is a non turbo Glanza? Agree nice colour I wana start spraying stuff Quote
Jules-B Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 nice one man..What colour is that on the covers?? Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 After having a chat with scutch0, its been deemed the FTE TB isnt going to work ......so i may try to go twin TB's on the standard plenum....@ JAG yup, the glanza S is the non-turbo. But with a different ecu, injectors, and ignition system to the UK starlets...@Jules-B, its Renault Electric Blue....rattle can from halfords, with their white primer and clear lacquer...Rob Quote
Guest Enzo Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 twin tbs on the standard plenium sounds interesting. Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 could work....need to find someone who welds ali tho, which aint atal easy... Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 Update on the painting...refitted the washer bottle cap, rad overflow bracket...and painted and fitted one of the rad mounts....Took the cam cover off...and sprayed that...aswell as the other rad bracket...both of which will be fitted tomorrow...Some pics - masked up...then rubbed it all down and cleaned it etc..Then obviously primer, and then the first coat of the electric blue...All in all, im very happy with the finish i have been able to acheive with rattle cans...what do you think then guys?!ThanksRob Quote
scutch0 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 it'll work buddy.i think i could get it working no probs. Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 you not going to letchworth tonight?! I presume your talking about the Twin TB's to work?! - i have faith in you Rob Quote
Galliano Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 looking good mate, did you use high heat paint on the little caps and covers? Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 ^ err no lol...ive done it before on another one...and never had any problems...the paints fine..the lacquer can go a bit dodgey sometimes tho..Rob Quote
Galliano Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 so if i dont use laquer it could come out ok? i guess it would depend on the overall finish of the paint Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 i would use lacquer but it may take a bit of time....the first time i did it the lacquer had some really small cracks in, nothing really noticeable...then just wet and dryed it down..and re-did it...now its fine... Quote
JAG Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Such a sexy colour My dad was saying something about if u wip the cam cover off 2 spray it u'v got to buy a new head gasket or sumin?Anyone shed some light on this? Quote
RobSR Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 no you dont your not taking the whole head off...only the cover for the cams..so its fine...ill put a pic up of what its like underneath tomorrow for you if you want?!Rob Quote
