hey guy just wanted to tell u bout my roll

it was red faided with a little rust :(

so i decided to ask around bout respray prices

and after askin a panel shop then a mate i diced a mate was the cheaper n in this case the better option as the penal shop wanted 4g,s just for paint my mate only wanted 2.5-4g's depending on parts i monitored his progress was very happy with his penal work prep n honesty he had a spray painter do the sparying in a both using 2pak not acrilic paint ;) and if he ran into problems rather then just goin ahead with the work he'd ask me any way heres the before shots when i get it back i'll post some after shots

so you didn't do the bumper?

He might have a fully sik FMIC to fit behind a hektik front bumper that he hasn't got around to putting back on yet?

The only photo that really tells me anything about the paint is the rear left quarter, and that looks quite nice and fresh.

Cheers, Gav.

nah not gettin it sprayed i like it black i think makes it look tougher n i already have a front mount cooler 75mm thick hiden behind the bar

n yes i know theres not a whole lot of difference that u can see on the net but u really notice it up close more so if u sore it before i had it sprayed

so i got my car retuned on a different dyno glad i did car feels like it makes more hp its smoother and it revs over 7500rpm but heres the catch

on original dyno tune it made 252fwhp

on new dyno it only made 211.9 fwhp but it feels so much quicker

why do dynos have to be so inconsistent

the tuner guy did state that he has had cars that have made over 280 hp only make 220 hp on his dyno with out touching tune at all maybe i should have got him to check before retuning any way its a whole different monster now and i love it still have to take it to wsid to get some real figures xoom your the bench mark im out to beat :lol:
