Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

tis true

what type of cleaning materials did you use? Ive recently been a convert to turtle wax products. Their liquid wax, polish, and finish REALLY works great.

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

All the more reason for me to stay with blue silicone Chris! The SS lines you see are for evap, turbo water, and the little oil feed one.

Mad dogg, just go to Imageshack and set up a free account. Once you get them hosted there, you just nest them in IMG tags with brackets. Do a "Quote" on my first post here to look at the code to see what I'm talking about.

George, as crappy as my bodywork is on the passenger side, I never wax my car. I just use Coral Blue car wash, Simple Green and that Turtle Wax protectant spray (neon green bottle) for the wheels and engine bay. In fact I left my clear coat as a matte finish to help my crappy body work!

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

Wow loving the car, and the engine bay, looks really nice. yeah based on the outside, wouldnt have guessed it was turboed. i want mine like that, i have an 03 lx sedan. i want to turbo it, but wont be for awhile, short on the cash.

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

@1syk - Yeah I know, I just eyeballed it on one side, measured my little template and duplicated it on the other side. The fenders will be replaced when I get back to states - Z3 fenders FTMF.....L - so I'll measure them properly this time around before I hack into them.

Gear and mexi - that's the exact look I'm going for. Which is why I painted the CF hood, FMIC, went back to stock heads and tails - well tails are UKDM - and will be ditching that pillar pod is favor of an integrated setup in the center console. Sleeper is the way to go for me. I don't even get looks going through town anymore unless I pop the BOV. Just the way I like it!

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

What rims are on yours now Adam? I don't remember.

Oh wait, just went through your threads you want these for Momma's right? I'm getting rid of them in the spring, probably for really cheap as they will need to be re-cleared (don't use that purple bottle Castrol degreaser...) and the rubber is guaranteed to be gone by that point !

If you and Momma are still around, we'll talk, sound good?

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

How strange Clint I also washed my car today because we had a rain storm here on sat. I also waxed my car with Zymol.
Yesterday I installed my H&R springs and SPC camber kit.
Your car looks great and I'm glad you ditched those lame projectors.
I think I'll make a thread to show of my ride.

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

Well, I wish I was as good about washing the car as I normally am Richard. Although I guess it has only been a week since I last scrubbed her down. Yeah, I'm glad the projectors are gone too. I like the stockers so much better. I don't even know if I'm going to BO them or not. I'm kind of happy with the way the car is now.

Glad you finally got your drop in! Two 4x4s in your driveway is just overkill man!

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

Well, the other stock C-pillar is grey, just a little darker than this one, but that's not a bad idea Jose. Honestly, I'll probably just leave it until I make a different gauge panel for the center console area.

Re: Giving the baby a wash - Speedfoos-style!!

She's a fickle bitch, that's for sure!! I replaced my 3rd HG yesterday, but that's my own fault and not the turbo's. I love it though. I make every excuse I can just to drive it. Best mod ever. Period.
