  1. Need dry ice for removing sound deadening in Christchurch. BOC the best place? Can anyone just walk in with a chilli bin and buy some? Thanks

    PAINT THREAD

    Newbie here. Tried laying some 1K primer over the weekend. At the start of each run I got very little material coming out which gave a sandpaper finish. But the further in it would thicken up so it was coming out of the gun nice and glossy. Happened every time I filled the gun, didn't change the air pressure or gun settings throughout a run. What am I doing wrong? Insufficiently mixed? Crappy gun? Pics for thread.
  3. Spray soapy water around all possible leak points, look for bubbles.
  4. Yes use fine sandpaper then polish. You'll need to clear coat them in a clear that is uv resistant otherwise they will go cloudy again.
  5. The VIRM states that a horn must be easily operated from the driver’s seating position. I assume this means it is okay to have a button in the dash as opposed to on the wheel. I wish to relocate the horn to a button in the dash due to 1) never using it and 2) having consent problems with the contact ring in the hub. Thanks.
  6. I have relocated the battery to the boot. The cable is quite large and thus the bend over the crossmember shows up through the carpet. is it okay to cut a hole in the crossmember in order to route the cable through, or is this considered a structural change? It already has several holes from the factory, just not in convenient places for me.

    Thanks, I guess this is because the edge of the clearcoat will peel / flake over time? Will do for now I guess.

    Going to do some minor touch ups over the summer break. The existing paint is a base and seperate clear coat. When doing the touch up areas (about 10cm x 10cm) will I have to do the entire panel, or will I be able to blend in? I am worried that the new base will stand out in the blend area that will go over the exsiting clear coat.
  9. Have a car that needs a boost leak test done. If someone in Chch has an air compressor with a standard schrader valve adapter (to fill car tyres) that they are willing to bring to my place to hook up to my DIY boost leak tool (that is worthy of the fabrication fail thread) sometime on a weekend I would be happy to provide a box of their favourite beers. Thanks.
  10. Some of them were LSD, most aren't. I don't think strength would be an issue, back in the day Liberos were quite popular for drag racing due to the solid rear end. I have heared rumours about swapping in Evo 3 parts into the Libero diff too. You could give Jeremy at Evoparts a call, he may be of some help.
  11. Are GPS trackers any good in cars that don't get driven often? i.e. project cars that sit in the garage. I had a cheap one in the daily I got off the tard, it drains the battery within a week if I don't drive the car.
  12. Is there any way to be notified when these newsletters are issued? Like a subscription list? Would be handy.
  13. I have a car that has had the battery relocated to the boot. One of the fail points on my cert sheet is that the battery cable needs to be secured avery 300mm. What kind of clips work best for this and where to buy? I assume others have had to do this. Cheers.
