***Official What did you do to your EK today***

No its not. As stated above your are allowed one intake moficiation before you require engineers cert

Ah thanks for clearing that up with me

Matts you gotta polish me car one day :P

ahahah dude man im still a beginner! lol theres still some imperfections on the guards but its not that noticeable lol. Its mainly on the sides because i cbf taking the guards, bumper and all that out lol. Overall its a BIG improvement from before. Before was like a finished product with lots and lots of orange peel.

So yeah you would need cutting compound and then polish, i recommend meguiars for cut and polish. I tried using 2 different cutting compound and does not work as good as meguiars. It may be abit pricey but trust me its definately worth it.
Also buffing by hand is no where near as good as buffing by machine unless you really wanna give your muscles a good work out lol

Thanks for that, will be getting a buffing machine soon. Did you clear coat it and sand it at all?

No worries buddy. Yeah i gave it 3-5 coats of clear (first coat being pretty light, last coat being pretty thick but not running) and then gave it a day to fully cure then i sanded it.

Got a wheel alignment and took RHS tail light out to see why it kept going out, only to lose a screw somewhere inside the body forever. -.-

Fitted up a blitz sandwhich plate with sensors, start it up first time, its not leaking, but oil temp not working, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Than i decide to take off the plate an redo the sensor as i think i didnt put it in properly... put it back in.... start it up, its fine but started leaking a bit, im thinking it must be cause i didnt put plumbers tape back on the threads to stop the leak wen i put the sensor back in the plate.. Fuuuuuuuuuuu

3rd time, take the plate off, redo everything properly, start it up and leaks more FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKK.................

Shattered!!! first time was spot on, maybe because i didnt fit the o-ring one the sandwich plate properly??? ill have to recheck 2morrw... fukkn drainer!
