    200 kw 5.0 ?

    yeah but nothing beats the sound of an angry 5.0 with a gilmer belt drive. if it was me id spend some more and go a single turbo setup fpr even better manners on the street. reason i say that is because a friend of a friend bought himself a charged vq and it was pretty tough but he...

    200 kw 5.0 ?

    apparently the come manifolds flow a metric ####load and will be way too big for your intended application. if youre gunna go n/a get yourself a torque power dual plane hi rise and 1000cfm t/b, that will be better suited. if youre going to go charged keep the banannas for low down torque and...

    200 kw 5.0 ?

    11ish:1 comp, solid cam in the 240's and decent intake will make that easy. other option is a 355 with a 286 or similar with stock intake. best thing about that is that you wont have to rev it like the 5.0 and the stock intake and tamer idle will keep the cops away...

    URGENT- vn v8 heater vaccum hose diagram

    i tried to not #### around with it but i had to pinch a vac hose to use on another part on another car and that was like 2 weeks ago so and i cant really remember where **** goes now. ive got a repair manual but it only shows one half decent pic of the heater box so ill have a good look at...

    Hardtop Sanding, prep for paint. How to. pic heavy.

    honestly, its easier to get a flat hardlid... re where its rubbing through- have a look where it slides into the hinges there should be some sort of adjustment there and if that adjustment isnt enough just file the edges of the hard lid until it dosent touch the body anymore...

    bonnet and roof respray?

    id be trying to work out why its peeling to start with, theres no point painting over paint that could peel again. if it was my car id bare metal the roof and bonnet and paint bonnet, 2 guards (for color accuracy) and bar while youre up the front there. the color on the roof can be blended...

    lol warranty bare metal jobbies :D im sick of the things they just kep rolling in... shockwave is shitful when it comes to coverage thats why i mix up my own ground coat that covers in 2 and the 2 full coats of shockwave and one mist is enough to get it covered nicely. ill be ####ed if the...

    blending into existing paint?

    lol, yeah, blend white then you turn 2 panels a bit yellow because of the clear, its inevitable unless the car is c.o.b. then if some other ####wit has already painted it and ####ed around with it and you dont know exactly what tinters went in and if they used a different system with slightly...

    blending into existing paint?

    a spectrometer is what that machine is called, it helps when theres no code on the car or truck thats been resprayed by someone in whatever color. it dosent calculate a formula as such but it does find the closest match in from the thousands and thousands of formulas in that paint system...

    painting engine bays

    just use slow thinners, lay it on heavy but not heavy enough to run and once its covered mist over the top till it looks right. sit back and watch the metallic settle and go from there.

    painting engine bays

    bout 300 for 4L or you can ask for it to be mixed in with your tin of black so it will just be add hardner and reducer and off you go. just remember that any huge bits of **** that land on the panels cant be buffed out. most wont be seen that bad but if theyre huge the panel willl need to be...

    painting engine bays

    matting agent- we mix it with clears and solids to get a satin or matt finish. it just saves having to keep two different products on the shelf (satin and matt clear) and sometimes its just quicker to chick it into some solid color and get the finish we want. not really sure what youre...

    prices/painting harlequin

    take your pic your premium will be higher due to the high cost of materials. get a few quotes before you get your paint job imo.

    Paint Pealing!

    this is dodgy, like real dodgy lol but you could maybe try to hold the paint edge down using some superglue? not sure if it will react with either paint but its worth a try. btw the finish on that panel is ####ing terrible

    VQ Paint job?

    same color unless you want to do the engine bay and door jambs etc. otherwise its your choice, youre the one that has to look at the thing all the time so any colors i might like you might not.
