Then when you want, they make replacement covers for the Sparco seat. I think they are like $125 or something like that, comes with new pads and the cover. Cant beat a free Sparco seat!

i was actually wondering about that. i might just have to save up for that thanks for the heads up!

 

[ajkulish]

expect some big changes coming soon...

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

Turbo Supercharger?

 

[ajkulish]

well some motor changes technically, and also a big change in the way the car looks...

I cant remember for sure, but I recall you were looking for some Evo8 wheels? Came across a set on CL up in Troy north of Detroit. 18x8 +38... Decent Price. Contemplating for my ms3 but don't have funds at the moment. (shrug)

should have removed more paint to get a good area of clean metal for the body filler to bond to

 

[ajkulish]

probably, but i got it all sanded pretty good with 80 grit, cleaned with alcohol, then applied the body filler. and the new paint is super strong and should keep everything in tact well.

This! Bondo doesn't stick well to a painted surface, needs a roughed up surface with bare metal. Take a small grinder to those areas. Same with rust, gotta eliminate all "cancer" before filling.

Subbed, I'm sad I've missed this thread

 

[ajkulish]

aww gooby pls.

and believe me, i sanded down pretty good before i applied the bondo, and all the areas that were rusted were completely sanded down to bare metal, and i applied rust converter before putting on the bondo.

 

[ajkulish]

not incredibly different, but very different at the same time.
