What sort/brand of paint is the green paint on the calipers? Never seen green for sale.

Website · by **Emperor** » Fri Oct 08, 2010 11:17 pm

I think brand is Blaze, it's from Repco, it's just fluro dazzle, like temp stuff you'd use for marking construction work.

It'll rub off callipers over time, but cheap enough to just give a quick respray.

Wheels were done with Dulon custom mix green though, and Autothane 2k black.

Snaps, you'll have to mount the battery properly and come and play with us some time!

Haha, I would love to, but I'm not sure this thing would be up to the task.... no front shocks/springs doesn't sound all that fun when doing jumps like that! :lol:

The battery thing isn't permanent, which I'm sure you've guessed already.

It's coming along quickly, might be working within the week. (Hell, might be running today if I sort a few things out).

Lookin good. Are there any limitations on roof spec eg up/down when on the track?

by **cogent** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 7:47 pm

Only requirement seems to be roll protection if you're doing anything more than clubsport basic. Top up/down/on/off doesn't really matter as long as you have homologated roll protection. You can see the halfcage I have in some of the pics.

When you can't overtake left... and you can't overtake right....

(the purple car is on it's second bounce)

It's actually quite deceptive. I've dropped over 5 feet from the highest point in the jump. The car is also bigger than my Terrano, so it's actually considerably higher than you think.

You can also get it very very wrong.... 2 lateral rolls combined with an endo. Car was fine other than two heims ripped from a lower front arm (now redesigned). Should have backed the car up and gone over the finish line dragging one front corner.

Snaps, would I be correct in saying that I see 4 bays in your garage?

by **Snaps** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 11:07 pm

You would.... 3 brothers and me.... One has an R33 GTR, I have the TT UK spec supra, another brother has an '04 Honda Accord Euro R, and the youngest has a TT Mitsi GTO.

Edit: Oh, the mums '04 XR8 stays in the garage connected to the house, so does dad's '68 Muzzie. The Mitsi Outlander DD'er stays outside :lol:

Don't get any idea's that the parents paid for our car's though... They do help, but we pay for the majority of them.
