The reason i was thinking of acid dipping was to remove every part of the paint/primer/underseal/seam sealant and stone chip underneath the car and whatever else is lurking under the paint work. When the car gets sprayed it will have a few coats of paint inside/outside/underneath then numours...

Awesome, I'll give them a bell and see what they recommend is the best option. Cheers Keep me posted on the outcome of the mx5 :).

Gutting, that's one thing i don't want to happen. Cheers

Yes i'll be driving the car once the car is all done, i'll look more into por15 and find a bodyshop that's had experience working with the stuff. Cheers

That's ok then, I spoken to a few respray garages around my way and none of them had experiance with cars that's been dipped so i wasn't sure of the process. Cheers

Does these acid dipping company's offer the coating after it's been dipped? If not then that's going to be a problem :(.

Awesome i'll look for the mag or website and get all the relevant info :). Cheers

Just checked a few videos on you tube the car in question is almost mint so think that por15 is for more serious rust, but saying that i don't know what's been covered up in the past so hence the dipping idea. Always a option after being dipped if it's a nail lol.

I assume por15 is some technical term for acid or treatment that it goes through. Can sandblasting remove seam sealer if the granules used was fine and at a low air pressure?. Cheers

I'm after info on this really as next year my plan is to rip into my M3 and start from scratch and rebuild it to concours condition with the occasional mod's, i've looked into sand blasting but it pits the metal so not a chance in hell this is happing. From what i've been told acid dipping can...

Every person i see while driving with stretch tyres drives like a granny apart from straight lines, I havn't got experience with driving on them but i wouldn't be ragging a car as it's mainly for show anyway.

Fair play that's pretty tight in there, good effort on the quick progress :). Looking forward to more updates. When you say a S14 do you mean S14 M3 parts or a Nissan S14? I always getting confused as the M3's running gear's called S14 my fault i'm a E30 M3 owner. Lol

Re: iPhone Event - 4/10/2011 - Read post #1 before asking questions Sorry my bad

As you're from Netherlands and being a left hand drive car to make it easier to understand you'd need to bleed the brakes in this order. 1)drivers side rear 2)passengers side rear 3)drivers side front 4)passengers side front Hope this helps

When bleeding the system make sure you start from the furthest point of the master cylinder and work your way closer. I.e N/s/r then O/s/r N/s/f then O/s/f

Great project dude

I played for a hour to see if it would change my opinion and no it didnt it's still rubbish and still got crap graphics so turned it off and jumped on black ops. Roll on MW3 :).

Downloading the beta for the 360 :), will report back on my views as i couldn't get along with the 2nd :( maybe it's coz i'm a COD man :).

I have cliosports-ph2's short shifter, good bit of kit comes with a shorter bar to replace the standard (under the gearbox)aswell, but abit of a nightmare to re-aline the selector as there is very little tollarace between gears coz of the reduced throw. Have given it a short road test when...

I'm easy on what ever we do, just need to know dates to see if i can make it or not. Also noticed another welsh guy in the list :) so if i'm able to make it on the dates, Ryanhavana you can shotgun in my car if you want? just bring a pillow with you as i'll prob end up taking my clio with cup...

Gutting i couldn't make it guys looked like a good turn out and some sweet looking cars, roll on the next one i'll defo be there even if it's to help out hodgins get down without getting lost ;) lol.

Sorry guys can't make it my car is still prepped ready 4 a spray job the guy that was doing it let me down as he now can't fit it in for 4week's as insurance jobs are a priority :(, even though hogins (adam) offered me a lift down in his car i've still got a few things to do like strip the 4pots...

Hi Adam, Hopefully it should be done if everything goes to plan then we can go down in a convoy :). But if not that would be great if you don't mind, I'll pm you closer to the date and give you my mob no and let you know the outcome. Cheers mate Thanks

My bilsteins cup racer Coilovers are awesome :D. I'd gladly pay £1600 for the hole setup and modify them to my cup packed hubs again, Although they prob are in a different legue to other cheap Coilovers so can't comment on the others.

Just waiting for a nice sunny day atmo so i can spray the inside door jams and inside the doors, then it will be a case of see my friend that sprays cars to fit it into his for him to blow the hole car over for a barging price of £100 lol. Gotta luv mates sometimes :).

Omg can't believe that Coilovers has been brought up. Someone please Explain?

Just been looking through your threads on there didn't realise that the M3 was done back in 2005, you were lucky to have done it back then as the prices for the M3's have shot up stupidly now (I'm not complaining though it makes my car worth more money) :). Not high jacking your thread but...

I didn't spray the xenon bulb capsule glass, so the brightness is not affected but here's pics anyway.

Omfg some proper expensive kit there :), kudos for the amazing work you've done, if these pics was on s14.net you'd have people w**king over there computers infact i just had a moment then lol. Where about's in wales are you? If i can i might come down (providing your not 100's of miles away...

I never drove a RHD E30 M3 so cant compare. Awesome pics :) but 50k in a car that could easily be smashed up by a simple mistake is insane so good choice in selling it, love the engine pic especially with the carbon airbox i take it you was using the alpha-n management?. Was that a originally a...
