Made hot dogs instead, lol.

But I think I have to go back for a cheese burger soon!

You do NOT want to know what is in your Hotdog 'meat' (shivers at the thought)

[Adam]

Correct.

I like hot dogs.

You are certainly contributing to the 'nose to tail eating' philosophy, so good on you

Ignorance is bliss!!


I had a really good day yesterday, Pete! Thanks for organising. Btw.

Though I think I need to do something about my power steering pump. It's going to die on me soon. And I also need to work on my engine bay heat issues

[nickknack]

Yeah me too,the B4 heatsoaks like a mother fucker! Thinking about a water spray setup

Hi all.

Same. Mine would be easy,
Basically steal the rear window washer line and wire in a switch.

Also, I want to heat wrap my headers, up pipe, and dump again, and put a heat shield back over the turbo.

I also need to fix exhaust gaskets, and possibly replace the flex join in my zorst, I looked at it the other day when I did my oil. It looks old and worn, could be part of my stinky cab problems!


gaz!

I had the Foz serviced on Thursday, and new tyres all round put on. Man it feels so much better to drive. Plus I had the weaping hose from the clutch master to slave cylinder replaced. Gear changes are much more solid and smoother now. Car feels good again. Pity I dont drive it much anymore.

[peteRS]

Do all that Adam...
Buy from these guys...http://stores.ebay.c...984.m1543.l2533

I use the Magma wrap and the embossed heat shielding in my bay...well, I'm getting there.

In other news, I'm doing this at the mo...

Not gonna bother with any of that haha, just the water spray. Unsure if I should go a manual switch or something that activates when you stick your foot down/at a certain boost level/something automated

Also need to finish sticking my tablet in. There's been a big hole in my dash for a while now haha

[Liberty]

gaz!

Miss me 'dam?

Let me know how you go with this, I may end up doing the same.

Pete those wheels look sexy!

And I know what's in hotdogs, and I still love them

Love doing things that make the car feel good!


I don't want to push the friendship of no tech in the G.T but how many metres do you reckon for the heat wrap? Is it hard to do neatly (im a bit of a perfectionist haha)

Nik, The I reckon the KISS theory is a good practice re: the IC sprays

Those wheels will look tidy, Pete. Though I LOVE the enkeis I would love them on my car haha, but I own a home

Miss me 'dam?

sure.

Also, COP conversion... hard for my car?

[nickknack]

I think that american bloke with the outback mentioned how much heat wrap he used for his headers in his build thread?

[Adam]

its in feet though, and we all know that isnt a real unit of measurement!


Plus I wanna do the up and dump

[Liberty]

I think that american bloke with the outback mentioned how much heat wrap he used for his headers in his build thread?

I'm pretty sure he said 90 ft = 27.43200 metres?

[Adam]

Just google that colour run thing.


Looks hugely gay

Also, my headers are much simpler than those borla ones

[Liberty]

It was actually pretty good 'dam. I didn't run it though, my mrs did with her friends. They loved it. Pretty good bubbly and positive atmosphere though. Was a good day even if I didn't participate.

You should do it; The Color Run.

I watched the YT vid.

no mud. No care.

Also, COP conversion... hard for my car?

The magmawrap is very easy to work with and DOES NOT NEED wetting to work with NOR painting to seal afterwards...It's Bassalt...it doesn't matter if you soak it in oil, it will not burn.
Looks like this on the Sled...


Depending on what exactly you wrap and how many layers, you can use loads. Start with at least 30 metres.
On my Wagon, Alex has had the up-pipe ceramic coated inside and out, so I won't wrap the up-pipe as too much heat can cause the inner coating to come away. The headers weren't wrapped on this car, but will be soon...I will also make a heat shield with the embossed stuff to go around that.

As for the COP conversion, just talk to Ichiben

There was a great spray set-up for sale on rex-net the other day for $120, but modifiying washer bottles will help a bit...real sprayers have more pressure and capacity. You really only need them in summer or track days etc.

There is a storm coming, so no more wheel painting for now, but they are just the track rims. Enkei's 4 Lyf.
