iggybdawg Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 get camber plates to move the mounting perch. Vorschlag makes a nice ($$$) set. Much better solution than wheel spaces (hokey). There's a reason I bought the BC Racing c/o. Came with camber plates built-in. :-) I have the seems like now discontinued GTWorx camber plates, because they were cheaper. Would the Vorschlag's mounting be any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought its the same thing as plastidipping the hood. No major heat as its not a high-heat direct contact engine component.

scoobyroo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I mean they hold up fine in headlights apparently. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nealkubitz Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I never thought about plasti dipping my engine interior. Does plasti dip hold up to high temps? Yes it will, in some of the dip videos they explain it, so I'm not sure of the exact temp, but they dip the exhaust tips on cars, and it holds up great... I think there is even a video of them hitting it with a torch... ill go look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE3841-1E8s]Plasti dip vs heat gun - YouTube[/ame] Typical head guy can get up to 900Degrees i think, so i think it would hold up quite well... Would go and color my engine with it, but around it i think it would be just fine. Even the high head spray paint get discolored pretty quick with high heat.

nealkubitz Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Removed a few layers of tint from my tail lights, got them WAY too dark when I did them. I know them mind set with tint, but Meh, I hate the red. They are bright now, especially with LED bulbs in them. Just need to get a blinker resistor and LED bulbs for blinkers. Did a test with the G/F and even with direct sun light i can see them fine from a couple hundred yards back. I wet sanded them down a ton, then remembered that I let my buddy borrow my corded drill, and my cordless sucks, and was dead. SOOO hand polishing it was, rubbing compound, then PlasticX, still have some little scratches even thought i used 1500gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_12 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Repaired the bumper, still need to wet sand and clear coat but it came out great!

boxkita Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I have the seems like now discontinued GTWorx camber plates, because they were cheaper. Would the Vorschlag's mounting be any better? if you have plates, use them until the adjustment settings are not enough. I believe whitetiger or stoplightassasin or xenonk had/had the vorschlag plates. Ping them for their opinions. When I looked into them, the plates were $600. like some other mods, they will boot you into another class, be sure to check the rules.

iggybdawg Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I showed the car to a mechanic buddy that races. He said shorter springs would be best. I have 8 inch, will probably go 6 inch sometime later. I don't feel like taking these off and putting them back on yet again right now. I'll pick up some wheel spacers for now.

SeattleLegacy Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Had the kids help me with a wash this morning. While I dried, waxed, and detailed, they were busy washing their wagon. They did a damn good job on both considering they are 3.5 and 2 years old; they were probably even more thorough on the wagon. On another note, I'm proud to report that the head gasket replacement I did about +10k miles ago is holding strong and that car is running like a champ at 132k miles. Had some worries about warping and general mistakes since it was the first one I ever did. *knock on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like taking these off and putting them back on yet again right now. I'll pick up some wheel spacers for now. You'll need to change your struts, too. The shorter springs will make the ride much harsher for the road. IDK what you're doing this weekend, however, I'll be at Bremerton on Saturday helping with Porsche Driver Skills. If you want to show up, I can run yours & mine thru the course and you can see the diff. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
