    After an 80 mile journey and another shorter journey tonight engine cover has held up fine so think my painting texhnique must have been ok.

    Was thinking of a little jdm character for the cooling panel. Ive got a tarmac sports sticker to go on the brace for when he sends me a free supercharger. Maybe a little blitz sticker to represent the exhaust. Not sure yet?

    All the powder coat bits fitted aswell as the custom rising sun engine cover which i did myself. Also got a carbon cover but i think i prefer the custom one. Need some bonnet lifters now I prefer this one but the carbon one is below aswell. Whats peoples opinions? The carbon one.

    All finished. See my thread in my signature

    Finished, apart from the clear coat. Looks a little more oval than round but once on the car it will lookabout right. Few bits where the taper lifted slightly but overall im well happy with the outcome

    The paint is still wet in this picture by the way

    Whats your opinions on this. Thinking about leaving it after one rough coat of red. Sort of has a weathered look. Problem is if i remove the tape now i cant really go back

    4 Black coats are done and im happy with how it looks. Just waiting for it to dry. Do i need to clear coat before masking up for the design or just go onto the black paint. If clear coat first how many coats, also how many coats to finish it off, is 2 enough?

    Another small update. Carbon engine cover. The strut brace and upper plenum are currently in the powder coaters. Should have them back in a couple of hours so will get pics up when i get them. Gone for black on both bits. Anyway, for now the carbon engine cover. Coming soon hopefully if it comes out ok, black and red rising sun engine cover.

    So far so good on this. Its all primered up and is currently drying following wet and dry sanding to smooth it all down. Should be getting the black paint on throughout this evening and then onto the sunrise tomorrow. Ill keep it updated and try and get some pictures along the way.

    Anyone can drive fast. Doing it safely on busy public roads is where skill and ability come into it. This bloke is clearly just a pratt. Emergency services have very few crashes in comparison to the speeds they can reach and the general standard of driving by the public in this country.

    which tyres to buy

    theheff replied to ddcboyle's topic in Tyres

    Ekona knows his tires Don't think about tyres as just for going round corners. If they fail you while you braking then you will regret not spending an extra £200 when you paying the repair. Get the best you can afford. I went for the mpss, worked out £50 more per tyre than the shitty falkens I had on before.

    Tarmac, just to confirm w/brembo means these are for 350s with the brembo brakes?

    And do I need to strip paint from the strut brace or can I prepare that and primer and paint on top of the old paint. It's all in good condition.
