Powder coating

by Chri5, 07-12-2018, 06:31 PM

Ok. Just found my drift wheels
But they are in need of a good refurb so was going to do that and paint them a nice lairy colour.
Was thinking either
Candy red
Bright fuscia
Or maybe ???
What's anybody think and more importantly can anybody recommend a reasonable powder coater???
Here's the wheels which are a bit **** but quite wide 8.5j and 9.5j x17" so hopefully they'll fit without too much hassle.

And here is the car if somebody could maybe Photoshop them for me???


Thanx in advance

Project 'Koshin' - Mazda Eunos 1.6i

by Demon, 07-12-2018, 05:13 PM

Evening All,

Was going to wait till Sunday when i know for certain if i have the car but its looking more and more like the car is mine! Insurance ends on the lexus on Saturday at 11:59pm and starts on the new Mazda one minute later

Have already said that i will take it if everything checks out and its as MINT as it looks. Now i wouldn't normally be this keen that im going to buy a car before even viewing it but i have spoken to the current owner and he is sound. The car is well known on a MX5 forum and several members have said how MINT it is.

Here is the original add and some old pics.........

[COLOR="Blue"]1989 Eunos 1.6 - Mariner Blue - £2600 no offers!

SUBJECT TO VIEWING THE CAR IS RESERVED FOR DEMON

The car has full service history. Road Tax to 31 July and MOT to 21 Feb 2011.

The car is in excellent condition. Very low mileage. Last owner in UK kept the car for 14 years and no expense was/has been spared with servicing/sorting any mechanical issues etc. The car has covered circa 8,600 in the UK and was imported with 44,000 km on the clock, 36,100 miles total!!!!!

Always garaged and has seen very little poor weather. No rusty sills etc

The car has had a full conversion to UK spec (speedo, gearbox, rear panel & number plate etc)

The stuff I have done:-

New Arc Magic Chamber
Blue Mountney wheel (340mm)
Bespoke "Bridge of Wear" blue leather seats & door cards
Leather gear and handbrake gaiter
Polished Voodoo knob
Chrome gear surround
White dials (blue numerals)
JVC radio/single CD player
New door speakers
New headreast speakers
New Magnecor leads
Bespoke induction set up
Polished Cam cover
Timing set to 14 degrees
Polished engine brace bar
SS Cat back exhaust (less than 500 miles ago)
SS Silenced de-cat (less than 500 miles ago)
New Lenso RS5 wheels & Toyo's (new 500 miles ago)
Lowered on new adjustable KYB AGX and Eibachs
Car has been fully W.I.M' d
New Garage Vary splitter
TT Style/roll over bar
New Blue Mohair hood with zip out rear screen
Smoked black side indicators and markers
New Blue halogen headlights.

They don't come in much better condition than this!

Only reason I'm selling the car is because my back is buggered thanks to a young lout who ran me down in December 2009. I fully intended to keep the car as it is the best example I have owned but my poor mobility has put paid to that.[/COLOR]

Some old pics.........















and a recent one..............




Been told that the underside is like a new car and the only thing he can fault with the paintwork is a very slight blemish in the laquer on the boot, nothing a machine won't fix

He is also throwing in spare set of headlights, side indicators, leads, cambelt, jack, sideskirts etc

I was originally after a 1.8 but this was just too good to miss and the only difference is about 10 mph off the top speed.

Plan is to do a few little mods, new steering wheel, maybe flock the dash?, back to import plates on the front/back, engine dress up and just continue to keep it as MINT as i possibly can, which will be the hard part!!!!!!!

Already have the first mod waiting, New suede/blue steering wheel (£35) thanks to a stand at the Autosport show on Saturday.





Not long now.........

Would love to know what you guys and gals think......

Cleaning your car

by Lexusboy, 07-12-2018, 05:04 PM

Has anyone started to give their cars a good clean?

With all the salts that have been put onto our roads it now time to get the jet washes out and give the car a good clean and remove that salt off the body work.

Look what i found in my garage!!!

by jomo, 06-12-2018, 12:57 PM

Digging around in my garage today looking for a length of flex i found this in a box stuffed in the back of a cupboard!

House project

by P.Lindblom, 05-12-2018, 06:15 PM

Two months ago me and Sara moved to our first house. It's not the biggest house in the world but it was built in 2003 and no one has lived here before us so it's in good shape. The interior style was pretty outdated, though, with a lot of unpainted wood and stuff.

This is our plan:

[X] Move in
[X] Redo the kitchen and make a chimney for the new extractor hood
[ ] Turn one bedroom into an office
[ ] Get a lot of wardrobes in the main bedroom
[ ] Etc.

Here are a few pics of the house when we bought it.































We decided to only bring our kitchen table from the apartment and get new furniture for every room.

This is our living room now






I will upload pictures of the other rooms as soon as they are complete. We're almost done with the kitchen. Still a few drawers short but this is our progress so far

HTC Wildfire

by Fry-Up, 05-12-2018, 05:45 PM

My main question is at the end of the post,

I have a Nokia N97 which i've had for about 18 months, I'd heard all the stories about dodgy software, but I like it and put the effort into finding out how to make it run efficiently (as efficiently as a Nokia smart phone can be anyway) and so with periodic software update checks, gettin rid of temp files and storing stuff where its best to store, it hasn't let me down, but it is slow sometimes and does test my patience from time to time, now the mention of the N97 is relative to the features I want from its replacement, I use the Sat Nav, I use the Camera, Email, Internet, I use various apps but obviously Android I imagine will more than cater for everything I have on the N97, but the point here is the N97 has done everything i've needed from it, just now its slow, bulky and a little dated

now the Wildfire seems to tick all the boxes (minus the physical keypad which I think I can live without), an important one being the price, it will be bought sim free to use with my existing Contract Sim

it may be worth mentioning I work in a phone shop, we don't do the Wildfire yet, and we don't do Sim free either, I know a fair bit about the Galaxy S, the Desire, the Desire HD etc, but since my knowledge on the wildfire is only what i've read, does anyone have one that they can give a little more insight into

the main question is, given the huge price difference between a Wildfire and a Desire Z for example, what makes the likes of the Desire Z/HD/Galaxy S worth so much more than the Wildfire

I know some features like 8mp camera with dual flash are an obvious difference in some cases, but th Wildfire seems more than adequate....
any opinions welcome
