    Hydro Dipping

    its what i currently supply if you have a look at rtcustomz on facebook you'll see all the work there, in one place, its oall on here as well, but i'd need to string together lots of threads. issue with the centre console is that it needs a lot of prep before dipping, as you are spraying it. so dimpled surface or not it needs lots of prep. as for wrapping it the thick carbon like hexis ( i also supply covers the dimples well due to the texture. so no prep work needs doing, but if you use a plain colour like black, the dimples show through as the vinyl is thinner.
  3. is that your garden? who just leaves cars to rot? is this the site of a welsh mafia shooting? is it the Viet-Taff Killing fields?
  4. a biscuit sandwich....doesn;t sound healthy
  5. windows surface
  6. so this would be your new shed car I like your thinking. A nice cheap runner that you don;t mind taking the carpark dings. nice proker by the way :wink:
  7. And stop writing in italics too, you! Do you even know you're doing it? I've seen a few of your posts like that now, and you know how my OCD is...! its my new tablet, i'm still getting to grips with touch screen. look how long its taken me to master a normal keyboard and i still forget to put capitals at the start of a sentence
  8. 4th place, not bad. worringly BBK's just behind me; i think he's making a charge from the rear!
  9. they haven't shut yet and the vouchers are still valid. there is still chance for a buyout. and as they have stock they will continue to trade. once they know there will be no buyout and if no one takes the stock etc. then its a case of selling off the stock to pay the creditors. and possibly a comet style sale. but seeing how the comet store near me got pillaged once the sales started by people who seemed to know before anyone else. i don;t hold out much luck for the jessops sale.
  10. Will try too when I'm next using it.
  11. I never found it that bad, have you lot got no hand eye co-ordination?
  12. I think There were 2 on here over the last few years and from memory both blew up. I believe the zed engine doesn't like lpg as much as some v8s do.
  13. we are good just for the forum alone
  14. a high powered RWD car is far easier to spin out even just pulling away from standstill than the equivilant FWD. FWD is far safer ina corner if you go in too fast as understeer is easier to correct than oversteer. they want you to gain experience in RWD before going for more power. it makes sense to me. and to put it in context i've seen the difference. a few years back i did the nissan free race challenge. got through to the qulaifiers. and there were a mix of drivers both amatuer, novice and pro. all from different car backgrounds. and the funniest to watch were the guys who had only ever driven FWD cars. the qualifiying car was a race specc'd nissan 370z. and chatting with some of the guys before going up som eof the FWD boys were going on about how they were going to slid this part, tail brake that bit. oversteer this bit etc etc etc. what was funniest was then watching them spin on the spot. or go slide everywhere but on the track. there is a big difference between driving FWD and RWD. i learnt it by starting in smaller RWD cars and working up. been in them for 10 years now. and you drive them both very differntly. a FWD car can make a bad driver look good. but RWD can bite you in the arse if you don;t know what your doing.
  15. if it wasn;t for teaching i would have joined you in the pax
  16. where in essex are you. if your on the suffolk border i'd say make a trip to the garage i use at martlesham. they build race cars and are very good.
  17. saw that and wondered if it was a member on here; and if they knew the baby machines
  18. i looked at m3's about 2 years ago and they were round the 9k mark then. should be able to find one around the 7k mark by now. and running costs will be about the same as the zed.
  19. do both. dblock says dropping the stock rays from a 45 profile to a 40 profile gets rid of the bulge.and if you drop the width by 10 that should give a slight stretch. other options is not to be so ghey and run the tyres properly.
  20. ah yes i've dealt with them before, was going to use them but went with some one cheaper and more local. good place
  21. need to do my BBS wheels at some point. be interested to see them when they are done. i need to find someone who will do a proper job on a set of split rims.
  22. oh dear
  23. be interested to know where you dropped them off was it ipswich local or further afield?
  24. just knock 5 off the profile or 10 off the width
