Gambit Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would say they will need a re paint sorry :( the way Jay said is best way to do it I pumped it (Not in that way you dirty minded lot) ;) why it was still on the car holding the other 3 in place. But lets just say what should have taken 20mins took me about 11 hours time I was finished :) But I hope you have better luck then me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm guessing with it now being nearly 3 o'clock things not going to well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariocinq Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 i have decided i am going to spray the car satin black, i know this isnt every-ones taste but i like the idea, what i want an opinion on is weather or not to do a white, grey and black Union Jack on the roof????well i set about doing the brakes at 10:30, only just finished now thanks to 1 stuck piston in the passenger side calipar, once i got it freed and i was cleaning it up i made the mistake of not slackening the bleed screw off and as i pushed it back in i pushed the other piston straight out and ended up with brake fluid everywhere lol. 1 scary brakeless drive later i had some more Dot4 and a quick bleed (and burnt hand) later and all is well again, no vibration and the caliper isnt sticking anymore so i am a well happy little mario.oh and i swapped the passenger side headlight out for a one that wasnt broken, the original one had 2 broken mounting points out of 3 so was amazed it was even staying on lol.

Gambit Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Nice one sounds like it went better then mine did :) And with the paint like the idea of black not to sure about the Union Jack But if you was going to do it I would look at having the roof wrapped with a carbon effect for the black :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariocinq Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 i had black carbon wrap on my old prim on the bonnet roof and boot and just fancy something abit different lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Another job ticked off the list - like the idea of matt black not convinced about the UJ - watched deathproof the other day again how about getting a graphic knocked up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariocinq Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 satin and matt are too totally different finishes, Matt is like a black board and satin is more of a flat/faded gloss. i kind of want to keep it looking fairly sleeper, so at a glance it blends in, but at a really close look it it gives a wow factor.

Jay762 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 aaahh right I see - there you go learnt something today as well B) mind you I don't know how I managed to read satin and then type matt duh! (probably because I didn't know what the difference was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariocinq Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 its ok a friend on NPOC told me the difference as he has just sprayed his primera in satin and it looks lush lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariocinq Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 well since i found the source of my vibration today is actually a failed top mount i started looking into all new springs and shocks and top mounts alround and gave up when the price for all 4 corners exceeded new coilovers, as a result i turned my atension to coilies and i have just agreed to buy a set of Cusco Zero-Z's off a classic Type-R for a really nice number, cheaper than buying 4 topmounts lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariocinq Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 cheers, yeah it handles really well at the moment and to be honest i am prob going to keep the ride height fairly stock and keep it a fairly soft ride, unless i go to a track day then it will get slammed and stiffened, oooooooo i am so excited, its just **** that i have to wait 4 weeks for them :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
