Wrappage???

Yeah boi! Wrap and fresh splits, should completely transform car!

Good news, put my old NGK plugs in today, gapped them to 0.7mm and car go much better now :)

Bad(ish) news, tested the recaro's and they sit about 3" too high, so they back in the shop to have the subframes 'adjusted'. Its no biggie, just means more waiting :D

Adjustment is best done with a very big hammer! :grin:

I wish lol. There are times where a hammer works, but it needs precision cutting and welding haha. The hammer is called the adjustmenting tool.

Cheers dude, always cool hearing that!

I did see a BMW on just stance yesterday that made me think. Rough camo spray job... Not that I would do camo, but something different with rattle cans. BUT, sample pack of wrap vinyls came today and I think I'm going to stick with that route, some nice colors there! There is a tempting iridescent color :lipsrsealed:

Worked on splits today, got the barrels prepped for primer and paint.





Get them sprayed up tomorrow and look into rebuilding the VR.

Replaced subframe bolts today and knocking has gone (for now!), drives real nice now. When the new rims go on, I'll check the tracking and camber and with the near-future purchase of new coilovers, it should be driving much much nicer soon! Looking at KW Varient 1's or Spax RSX at the moment. AND yes it does mean raising car a little, but will be for the greater good!
