[BioHzrd]

Whats a rough cost and time to underseal a car ??

Mind you the underside prob needs a clean down first to remove surface rust.

Cost me around £120 from TGM. Id pay for someone to do it, its messy and smelly.

That mates rates or just a walk in and ask price mate ??

 

[Bjorn]

Just normal rates mate. TGM prices are competitive, but doubt youd pay more than that.

dont underseal ,wax the underneath .lasts longer and less messy m8
i use merc wax on chassis ,driveshafts ,b/pipes ,the flexy metal parts before the rubber joints ,struts and all suspension parts . inject the doors and chassis legs everywhere you can .
get the underside steam cleaned then allow 2 days to dry out then wax it down
my new RS 200 is going to be done when i come back from holidays in 2 weeks time ,only 2 months old .
in 2001 i waxed my polo and kept it for 2 years and sold it to a family friend,every year i service it and mot the car as i am in the trade
and so far no rust problems .the mot tester commenents every year on its condition. all original brake pipes ,drive shafts still look like new,no rust any where
since then i have waxed all my cars inc 3 subaru impreza 2005 2007 and 2008sti hatch.fiestas x 2 peugot gti 180

Yeah shouldnt take too long. I had a full service, underseal and some mods fitted in less than a day.

You got any dyno graphs for your EK, itys supercharged isnt it? A supercharged DC5 i saw on the dyno was awesome, just kept pulling and pulling.
