Nice...I'm hoping it slows the rust down a bit. I had the hatch repainted this summer and I found some rust developing on the inside-bottom portion of the passenger front door. Also, found a bit of rust developing on the rear wheel arch. The seam sealers have been cracking and developing rust...

Completed in the last couple of weeks: 1) New Nokian Hakkapeliita R3 winter tires for my car - I believe they are 205/50R17 2) Took my car in to get a Krown Rust Control treatment...does it ever stop dripping oil everywhere? My car is leaking oil like a Land / Range Rover. Need to...

@Awafrican, I'm starting to develop rust on the inside bottoms of my doors and the rear wheel arches. I've applied some rust check to those areas myself as a stop-gap before getting some paint supplies to fix those areas up (non-visible so who cares how it ends up looking). Just curious how...

How much would it cost to just get a revision? Shouldn't have to fork out the whole amount again since they're not starting from scratch.

Wow, there are a lot of replies to this thread! Some of you have really high mileage still on the original motor. That is awesome to see! @VintageBikesUSA, I would do the downpipe at the same time as the turbo install since you'll be in there anyways...no sense doing it twice. I'm still on...

Why did you end up having to rebuild the engine?

Wow! I would say you got really lucky! What colour did you get it in?

I think it was around that mileage when my car started using a bit of oil. We're only talking about 1/2 to 3/4 quarts between oil changes...so nothing major. Compression and leakdown are fine on my car too. I'm in the middle of a 2,400 mile camping road trip with it too.

Are you experiencing boost creep with the CST4? Or what kind of boost issues are you dealing with?

Even though the Gen 2's only have one resonator, I think the sound is a lot more subdued compared to the Gen 1 with dual resonator deletes. Overall I'm pretty happy with the cheap mod, but I may weld on some 4" exhaust tips from magnaflow or something to dress it up a bit. Mechanical mods are...

I'm just looking to get rid of some of the micro-swirls in the clear coat. To be honest, it's a bit nitpicky for a DD with 123,000 miles and surviving 8 Canadian winters. Haha, it's in pretty good condition to he honest.

:( Haha, I have been...but then I decide I need to do this or that. When I start projects I finish them...built a garage last year, but wanted it insulated and drywalled. So worked on that with my dad. But then I noticed a low spot in the concrete (punchlist item I need to fix) that...

@rang-a-stang, there are lots of knowledgeable folk on here. I'd suggest that you upload the datalogs you sent into Freek for everyone to review. Maybe he gave you a very conservative initial map to get you up and running and will start dialing it in for you now. You're probably just running...

Thank you for the suggestions @Orangatang! I've only ever hand waxed a car myself before. Ive never tried a power polisher as I've hear horror stories of burning the paint or clear coat. I'm sure I can do it myself though...just need to find time. I have a to-do list that never seems to get...

Awesome work man! I bet you've been itching to get her bolted back together. Kudos to you on your patience for waiting for the Grimspeed. I think I've order two things from cPE and both times they were backordered, so I decided to cancel the orders instead of wait. I'm kind of glad I did as...

'Cause I love rubbing my chin! Haha, no idea...new driver mod. Yeah...I was thinking wet sand to remove the micro swirls. But, it's also no show car. I will have to ask the shop what they did because I was expecting a cut and polish. I'll research some of those products. I used the...

Looks great! What products do you use?

Clearcoat was starting to look a little rough, so had my car professionally detailed...looks better, but not to what I was expecting. May need to do a wetsand for what I was hoping for...but, it's a lot of work for a winter driven daily driver. I'll just accept the fact that cars are only new...

It's hard to see what melted in the picture; the entire housing or the black accent strips? I'd be surprised if the heatsinks threw that much heat...did it happen on both headlights? Btw, what kit do you use to reseal your headlights? I need to reseal the tail lights that are on the rear...

@rang-a-stang, great work and progress! That's a bummer about the delay on the turbo...bet you were amped up to get it installed and the car running again. Did you replace your plugs with stock heat range?
