insane clown Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 yes very clean and shiny, do you mods mentioned and if thats all you want then get a remap, depends what make and where you go, i spent £470 on full s/s zoorst and fitting decat, £41 on panel filter!, £185 on chipped ecu, but no remap.....too old!.......gave an extra 40/50 bhp (est) mark Link to comment
Sub_Mike Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 thx took me a good hour polishing, gonner really spend a good half day on her on sunday if it doesnt rain Yeh hopefully going to get full de cat, but not sure what mine has on at the moment as its got a prodrive back box, so maybe might be a full system? Then going for a remap, dont want to push it too high as the car has done 94k miles and i dont want to tempt fate But miles happier with the front end with the new lights, really wanted some sti ones but they are a wedge anyone local for a remap or is it worth a trip to Andy forrest ??? heard hes the best Link to comment
Stressymare Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 can come polish mine too if ya want [] Link to comment
Criss Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Nice pics, I like pics at dusk with the cars lights on! Always come out top if the exposure is set long enough! Link to comment
rasher Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 what polish/wax do you use???? Link to comment
Diablo Blaze Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Blood and sand that is shiny. I think someone has cottoned on to my Lynx method. Looks cool though man Link to comment
Sub_Mike Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 aye did come out nice in the pics, some close up scratchs that need abit of attention tho i just used the turtle wax colour coded one that comes with the lipstick style chip pen, was very suprised with the results, i normally use auto glym but just ran out and had some of this left over in dark blue from a past car so thought i would try it.might stick with it, but not sure how long that shine will stay on the car i know some waxes fade pretty quick. No where near as clean as yours Nige from what ive been told yours is 'outta the box mint' Lynx, i give it go , lol only thing i used lynx for apart from the norm,was too set my hands on fire and blow torch stuff ! thx for the posts guys and gals Link to comment
Stressymare Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 i just used the turtle wax How many times have i said about Turtle Wax ????? and you all laughed about it lol told you all it was good nerr nerrr [] Link to comment
Sub_Mike Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 lol these colour coded ones seem to hide the small scratchs really well, plus the shine is not bad for 6 pound wax hope it doesnt rain tomoz, want to get started on the engine,4 years of crap to get rid of ! plus an extra coat of the turtle wont go a miss Link to comment
rasher Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 how bad are the scratches??? Link to comment
Sub_Mike Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 has some deep ones on the rear side of the bumper/body which will need filling and painting, other ones are just the usual small scratches nothing too bad, used a new wash and wax today, it was a right pain left loads of wax marks all over the car,didnt chamosis of the paint properly, damn sun light prob better of just washing it then waxing it seperate to avoid the water marks in the future.
