ANT Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 i buffed a spare piece of alloy using same process as focus centre. then used a 15$ rattle can clear. seemed fine. Didnt have the balls to spray the focus though. Will leave it for a pro / The englishman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 13's look pretty hilarious due to the guard gap. 14 wil slightly taller tyre will help alot. I need to keep aiming for cert so its going to look goofy for a month or so. But afterwards. 175/60/14 and buckets of slam, 6 speed box and no mufflers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 6x R1 bike carbs too thanks with the guts of a 1g-e dizzy in the 1g-ge one so no aftermarket ignition wizardry needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be missing something here, but why not make all the changes, then get cert? Or otherwise skip cert and save yourself the $$$ if it's going to be modified away from cert specs anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Interested in how you go with clear coating the polished wheels.... it's relevant to my interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I had some wheels clear powder coated once. It took away some of the shine (I didnt attempt to return it by poishign the clear however) and after some time (a year or so?) it started degrading Just keep a tube of autosol in the glove box?

Or otherwise skip cert and save yourself the $$$ if it's going to be modified away from cert specs anyway? most of the changes aren't things that would be effected on a cert plate. plus you'll get further with a plate than not so its 100% worth having one even if you are outside specs, easy to revert back to cert specs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Have you thought about that trick the E8 guys do of welding the flares from the front onto the back? Worth considering perhaps? It would give that clean, sleek, stock look and potentially cover that extra distance the wheels are poking out. Maybe. I don't know, just a thought. It's looking super crisp though man. Got any vids of your revving fun-stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I have but these spec wheels have been done many times over in japan so i know it can be done. Talking to a couple japs last night and all i really need to do is roll them hard and repaint. No vids yet as its stock exhaust still. Trip to Hamner will see lots of rev stick'n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 It can be arranged. Also, certs only going to be used as a bargaining tool for when i get pulled up as i will be lower/wider/have less tyre then the law states i should have. But having one is 100% worth it imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks! Its only done 2 short trips with the wide wheels on as it looks mental with them on in person and i dont want the attention/pink sticker.Soon i will cert it so it can become a garage lurker/sunday driver.
