Ahaha :D the car was dirty going down but i went straight from work so didnt have a chance.

Aye the car was on a slight hill, if the car was that low i would not be able to drive as i think it would constantly be rubbing!!

Car's having its summer detail tomorrow though ready for the shows :)

1) I need me some H&R Springs... I aint low enough! lol

2) I need to buy some Snow Foam.. haha

[BRIDGES]

Well if you want to wait for H&R springs until the end of the year i'll be selling mine. I'm going to get some coilys me thinks.

Hey yall,

Need every ones oppinion if thats ok?

I'm not too sure what to do next to the rolla!! The exeterior is complete imo, not sure what you all think? But any body got any requests to see lol!! I know its my car but just gather interests.

I'd have a look at getting the black tail lights that a couple rollas have here. Also start pushing for mag features!!!!

[BRIDGES]

Not keen on the black tail lights but thanks for your input dude.

Hmmmmmmm car mags could be an option, but I would like everything to be completed.

I was thinking ICE install as I cant get rid of my Speakers. Thinkin of fiberglass covered in carpet to make it look original.

Or to get a new clutch and a TRD light weight flywheel!!

I recently saw a post made by MarcTS about the Fidanza being too light, the TRD may be different though. I wouldn't bother unless you don't care about what he saw as a problem. :)

An ICE install would be good but it will cost a loooooot! Clutch sounds like the best bet so far to me...

shave the side mouldings off - looks miles better.

[Clawliger]

If your planning on coilovers, gimme a shout and you can try mine before you buy. :-)

S/C?? lol.

or an uprated clutch and manifold combo?

Ola all

I need every ones opinion on what to do to my centre caps. They are corroding a little so am deciding to spruce them up a little.

Do I use metal polish (although plastic) to shine them up or do I spray and paint them in Gunmetal (same as alloys) or Gloss black or any oter recommendations

Cheers

tim, you could paint them but they may peel a bit on the areas which look like allen keys. Id say either grey or black but use the colour match to the wheels and they will look nice ;)

If not give japshop a call they can get you new centre caps. :)

[BRIDGES]

I was thinking grey too buddy. I think ill give them a go and see how it goes. If they go completly wrong then yep i'll buy new ones but as their not broken no need to waste money yet.

[BRIDGES]

Jobs a good one yall

Very happy with the results and I think they look a lot better than when they were chrome B)

[Clawliger]

mate, were going to have to meet up soon, i live like 20minutes from you.

and if your stuck for ideas next, if you dont fancy coilovers, how about koni-yellows? adjustable damping, as the ride height looks sweet on 18's.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

WOW! They look much much better and damn you work fast!

But clean those wheels! :P

[LOZZA_T_SPORT]

Very good work mate and deffo look better then in chrome, so whats next on the to do list ?

Thanks for the comment

Kparris my wheels do need cleaning lol!! And being a detailing freak it does annoy me to see my car dirty but its raining in S.Wales

Didnt take long though, wet n dry sanded them down, then primered, wet n dry again, primered + another layer of primer, then the colour + another layer and then laquer all heated by a hot lamp to quicken the drying

Very good work mate and deffo look better then in chrome, so whats next on the to do list ?

Ta for the comment

Hmmmm next on the list me thinks:

Engine covers wrapped in CF

ICE Install (Its a must, i love my music to much)

Ported mani & custom downpipe

TRD Strut & Roll bar

[farhanali89]

nice stuff tim!

they came out really well! and clean your car! i was going to wash mine again today but the weather looks nasty.

[BRIDGES]

I've been spraying again!! The covers have been wet sanded down to get a smooth surface, primered then wet sanded another primer layer then onto 3 layers of gloss black and wet sanded back and another two layers of gloss black. I've done this in readyness for the CF vinyl which a mate will be doing.

He had a look at the covers and stated the vinyl wouldnt stick to the surface as good as a smooth painted surface so walla they are ready for the vinyl which will take place next week, so keep an eye out B)

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Looks nice as is! But will look sweet with vinyl IMO.

[BRIDGES]

Cheers dude

I do like the look of the gloss may get the grills done in gloss B)

[jonnnnnnnnnnnno]

Looks good man :) and dw about the heat taking the vinyl off on the rocker cover it shall be fine ;-)
