What have you done to your car today?

From here..

Just tell em you want both sides..theres no logo on mine..

But i must say the finish quality was poor 3months use and had faded quickly could see bubbles in the clear and cracking in places so i had to rub them back line the outsides with paint and spray about 7-8 wet coats of clear to bring them back. was very close to painting them white tbh so might pay to go fibreglass

All good, was just throwing it out there.

[Rosssub]

Used a tiny flat head and vacuum to clean out my TMIC, straightened some bent fins then gave it a quick respray of satin black. Then replaced a couple of rusty bolts that have been annoying me:

Then ripped this haggid looking thing off:

After the first scrub with degreaser:

[94 Leone]

Looks awesome Ross! You gonna get something to stop the bonnet paint peeling?

got the legacy going td04 and 2.5" downpipe makes such a difference. I love the response legacy is no longer the 'lagacy' haha. should have gone td04 from the start. Lol

its crazy going from the wrx to the legacy full silicone intake of the legacy vs. factory on the wrx bov is so audible haha.

Didn't think it would be an issue really? Mt under bonnet temps are pretty good. Figured if it got hot enough under there to damage the paint it would be melting stuff near the turbo. Do you think it will cause problems?

[94 Leone]

Thats a point. have just noticed that many of the cars ive seen without liners also peel the paint a bit. may have been issues with clear coat though

[hijacka]

Its UV that ruins paint, if it was a heat issue under the bonnet the paint would bubble.. i had paint bubble on a old mk1 2dr escort i had back in the day had 2ltr cortina engine and driving along then the engine started to dying and smoke and flames coming out bonnet lol.. was the fitting that came out of the carb and pissed fuel all over the dizzy, common fault with them wish i could afford one now

[Rosssub]

Good old Escorts, did you have an extinguisher handy at the time? I'd figured it might help lower engine bay temps in exchange for slightly more in cabin engine noise. Would hate to put the cover back on after just finishing pollishing it.

[GC8E2DD]

I'm taking mine off too then. Ever since I left it at a mates farm, where it got rat chewed, I've wanted to remove it.

[Guest]

Right ross ive got a garage full of tools and a bottle of mount gay on the fridge. You get up here somehow and ill feed you till youve finished making my car cleaner and tidier than yours. Only catch is youve got to tell everybody i did it myself.

[Rosssub]

Deal. I'm almost running out of stuff to do to mine...

That is a CS quotable quote right there. Am I right?

[Guest]

You drink much sam? Here i was thinking you were mature pffft. Go on find the quotes thread then.

[GC8E2DD]

Nah, just had a few beers and thought you sounded lonely =P

[Guest]

Oh you mean little bastard.

On another note sorted the little bro a v6 sti. Rung me up while he was looking at it to go over the basics and turns out it has an apexi turbo. Heres hoping its an ax53b70 or whatever the big one is.

[ADIKT]

Don't you know that it's not the size which counts? Lol
