Yeah I sorta figured that, turning the wheel less for more wheel output.

Though a wrx pump will be stronger (higher pressure?)

[cliffo3rb]

Chuck the brakes on mate.

[Robert]

Have to put the wheels on first

Won't be happening to the weekend now, can't get a full alignment till Wednesday.

[Cam.]

Quick racks feel much firmer. I don't think it's a pressure issue mate.

[Robert]

The system must have had an air lock or something.

As of this morning and during the day the steering has become lighter, it just feels firmer which is great.
Last night it was genuinely heavy.

Good Job on the progress bro. I've got some things coming up also.

Interesting update your thread when you do

Chuck up dem pics when you get a chance

[Cracktastic]

Yeah ive got a few pics of your beast, finally got my new PC running now so will be working on those images.

Gave it bit of a scrub and Claybar this morning, cleans up alright for an old girl.



Considering it looked like this for the past month...

[SSIKness666]

How long did you spend on the claybar? What brand? I use Meguiars.

Seriously, wax prepping.. what a job.

Looks clean man <-- Pun. Err..

 

When is the GTB front bar and wheels going on?

[Robert]

Yeah I just use the meguiars clay bar, it's a little bit expensive, But seems to work well

I spent a good 45 minutes maybe more on the clay, probably could have taken longer if I was to try and remove every little imperfection.
Car should be getting a pro buff and detail before HVC, hopefully

Rx bar will be going on when it gets painted hopefully before HVC and the wheels should go on this Sunday

[SSIKness666]

Dope

How many bars did you go through?

 

Any wheels going on before HVC?

I envy you for the quick rack, something I'd want.

 

[Robert]

Just the one, seems you can reuse them

Still looks like new with a kneed in some water

Gen 4 gt wheels going on very soon

[Adam]

only 45 mins to clay?

[Barbbachello]

i should get a detail before the hvc

[Robert]

only 45 mins to clay?

Probably not the best job but it felt plenty smooth and looked good.

i should get a detail before the hvc

Well worth it, $150 bucks is the going rate for a good buff and wax I believe.

[Barbbachello]

Yeah but I also need a full service, a wheel alignment, a speed sensor, interior trims and money for the trip lol

[Robert]

I'm at bit of a cross road...

Should I paint the black strip along the side body colour, or leave it black?

Thinking colour coded would look good

[zahmad]

Colour coded, so it doesn't look like lower spec

[Bumpty]

Colour code 100%, unless you go some whacked out black and white scheme.
Just don't blur the two and go grey :s

[Adam]

Colour code the car to the strip
