today would have been an excellent night to just chill out and relax and kebab run...

OK guys, question for all you panel beaters. from my limited google research, i've come across mixed opinions about painting these two types of paint over one another. here is my story: 1) sanded back the interior plastics and got rid of the shine of the original colour. 2) sprayed it with metallic black (acrylic) 3) wasnt happy with the finish and sparkly bits so i took it back with 320 grit paper and tried to take back all the acrylic off 4) panel shop painted 2pac on (no primer) over the part 5) there is a wriggly line on the bloody corner of the part! :( apparently to the panel beater, the glue type substance came up when he was using the wax and grease remover when he cleaned the interior bits before he painted it. the ONLY interior part affected was the gear shifter housing. the other panels i made sure all the acrylic was off before i gave the parts to him. just the corners of the gear shifter housing was hard to get the paint off so i gave up and gave it to him instead. now would it be ok if i just sanded it back lightly and buffed and polished it up? or do i need to sand it back AGAIN :( and then have him redo the part again? also as a general rule: is it OK to paint 2k on top of 1k or do you have to take everything back to bare plastic and prime it etc before painting it? we thought the interior parts aren't going to be exposed to the outside environment so its ok to not use 2k primer before painting it. He said if he used primer, i'd have to sand it back = more work = not necessary. so we didnt end up doing it. thanks in advance for you input guys. cheers

daddy sems happy with it too :D

for something like that i HIGHLY recommend you getting a brand new bearing and hub from toyota... u dont want a second hand one to sh#t itself when you want to keep your car for a long time. yeah we all know its expensive but one less thing to worry about if you replace it new.

oh is that what the ad-on does? i thought it was just for it to look prettie... :P

id imagine the quickest route would be on the hume hwy. ;) oh r u coming? oh too late, i put u down on the list LAWL. :D

looks at fernando

stop driving it hard :) rear sway is addictive isnt it? :P cant u find it and slide them back in? broken??????????????

it will increase throughout the whole band from mid range so the transition into lift would be much smoother. it will feel like you loose power because there is no "kick". dyno would proove the gains though.

I actually asked already about the visors hahahahahaa

Thanks to the DUTCHMAN! :P now i can replace that stoopit remote control antenna and replace the "BEEP BEEP", with a "BOPPP BOPPP" also bought some washers and spacers and some high tensile bolts to raise the height of the recaros just that little bit. now just need my damn car to fit them in and test the height. i think it maybe a bit taller than stock but we will just have to see. at the moment my car's sitting like this. :P whole panels had bloody stone chips. and ALOT of them. also on this side as well... door ont he left side is being replaced as it was warped drivers side guard was warped as well. (possibly from a previous accident?) rear quarter panels have been lipped as well. i was shocked to see how well he did it just with a dolly and hammer. the lip was flat up against the outside panel and you cant even see it was lipped. hello phat offset :P just about time now...

definately second this. low is just a "stance" factor, nothing more. I've tried to raise my car but to stock height but the coils dont let me :(

just curious mate.

got the bushings thanks to Noogstar :) might use the stock bolts as one washer was missing... back to sexy locking shifting minus the reduced throw. (which makes me only shift 0.000000000000000000000001 second faster anyways)

thats a very good number for a cruise.

beard's gone a bit whiter when we last met john? btw, the centre console bits look excellent :)

DAMN THAT LOOKS SOOO SEXY!!! :P

Some black bits... :)

the pre run was fukn epic. any of you guys are mad to miss the cruise!
