ELEGNT

wow sorry to hear that mate everyone dreads that happening to them but its sure to come in due course...just a bit unlucky...****r ford drivers lol but mate me and 'supercharged TRD' on this forum where out driving the other night and he had a pretty massive crash, the car was undrivable....that was about 3 or more weeks ago and as far as i know the assesors havnt even looked at it as yet....now thats SH|T survice!!! and he hasnt even got a replacement car that in AAMI's policy he is entitled to but all the best in geting your car repaired man and hope to see you up in bris soon with a fresh new bumper :)

i dont think azza realises its not a 2GR...there is plenty of 4cyl camry turbos

welcome mate :D u got any pics of your truck?

OFF TOPIC...eargunk id be keen to see your system and how it sounds i need to be motivated to change my inside speakers....u at your new place yet?

hahahaha howd u forget that champ....easter treasure hunt cruise is on my missis bday....shes SPEWING!!

lancers are cheap u can get an 00' for less than 6k or even a mid to late 90's civic, 1.6, cheap as to run, go resonably good and ud pay next to no insurance

I think...... SRI is ok as long as its secured... and not an Oiled filter. defect yes if the pod is exposed but theres is not much point in doing it at all if u box it wouldnt a CAI be defectable too tho?

black is the go then :) u said use can do it at work, so ill be happy just getting the mild steel and getting use to put the HPC on. back OT, JIN u obviously used heat protective paint on that cover right? and did u spray it with plastic primer before painting it?

yep thats exactly what im thinking....so am i able to paint over the coating drew? if so that will be what im going to do

Yeah, we can get stuff coated for you. It's a baked on ceramic coating, used mainly on exhaust manifolds but can also be used on intakes/manifolds, heads, pistons, etc. It stops the transfer of heat and is resistant to scratching, peeling, rust, all chemicals, etc. When I get this AW11 built, I'm getting absolutely everything I can HPC coated. You can buy chrome paint, not sure what it ends up looking like though. yeh chrome paint in a can looks horrible its just silver. theres a mob down the coast that chrome dips bits for your car but there pretty exsy! the coating turns out a grey'y colour hey? you obviouly can paint over the it but it wont have a nice smooth finish would it?

wow thats nice....defs painting mine now...and i really like the black intake too drew (or whoever else can answer) is that HPC coating that stuff that you wrap around headers?

Thanks mate. So SRI is all figured out? I saw the threads that having problems with SRI. Hope things go well so we can see the result.:) I bet you gonna paint it with shiny blue. :P EDIT: ^^ more questions updated in last past as u posted sorry yeh it was supposed to be this weekend but he couldnt slip me in so in the next few weeks ill be doing a trial one in mild steel the if its all good they will put a stainless one on OK question for everone with a black engine cover do u recon keep the mild steel piping and just spray it black or go stainless?...dont no what i wanna go for...everthing black and sleek or shinny but there will be only 1 but of shinny thats the thing lol and i have a white Ultra racing strut brace should i leave it white or paint it too? painted will just look stock then, or chrome it?....ahhh so many options :( and no defs black not blue....too rice for me Oops, my bad :P Sorry Rowan, you've got no idea how flatout we've been lately. I'm doing an extra 10+ hours a week just to cover my *****, and even then I'm only just keeping up. Good news is my pay has gone up a decent amount so I should have that Scantool before you know it. If you want to do this SRI in mild steel, you could get it HPC coated? It would look a lot better than just painting (my current intake is painted matte black) but I've noticed it gets quite warm even on little drives and it shouldn't cost -too- much. Personally, I'm a fan of the chrome/stainless matched with black in the engine bay. Too many colours just looks ridiculous. You can hit those black plastic covers with a dash protectant and they will end up looking a fair bit darker than they are now. no worries man just whenever you have time will be fine i dont want u to be put out of your way...do you know a place where i can get it coated? is it a spray on sh|t or is it like a wrap? if i knew somone who did it i would chrome the cover(have a black badge and black writing) crome the strut bar and have the stainless SRI...if it wasnt to expensive
