ryanfels Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I use a scotch brite to scrub off the rust on things that arnt painted like the intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Scuff with scotch brite using wax & grease and paint? or if its bad you may want to get them blasted, using a wire wheel can eat into the alloy pretty easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Media blasting is basically the only way to get it nice enough to paint. edit, too slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sweet will try scotch brite. Il look into getting the rocker covers blasted as they are pretty bad its eaten alot of the paint off already. Simon- What ratio was that diff you got from Brendons Celica?

Simon Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Simon- What ratio was that diff you got from Brendons Celica? I never got it in the end man. I'm going G series IRS from A70 Supra. Never will I worry about breaking it and I can get high ratio from the LS400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
