First and second coats of...

wow a lot of inspiration for me. great work, cheers.

I will be receiving my new gun in 1-2 days so once i get it i will prep my area and give it another try. Unfortunately im in perth so i wouldn't be able to make the saturday lessons or else i would...

Yeah i did and i wound it all the way in and all the way out, it was making a difference when i wound it all the way out but not enough. But like other users have mentioned that i could be spraying...

Aight, I have purchased the first link. Give that a go, work on my technique and go from there. I believe the issue with my current gun is it is 1.4mm or less using acrylic paint. And the 2hp...

Ok i believe its my gun/pressure setup/nozzle setup. So I'm going to purchase a HVLP gun...What is your thoughts on something like this? I know its not a known brand or anything like that but im just...

I did wet sand it but I didn't buff it? What compound or product should be buffing with?

Also if i wet sand it more will it even out the current issue?

I don't know what gun head but I will...

So basically I want to learn how to paint parts, panels and if possible my whole car. I have purchased and used the following:


acrylic paint made up from auto1
acrylic clear coat
primer
...

Yes it still runs even if there is no gas.

If you haven't had much experience with automotive wiring i suggest dont do it yourself. But if your have then not that hard, there is a write up on the...

:| second this....sometimes u can find wreckers with pre-rebuild box's but always unsure about the integrity of the work done. Thats why i did mine myself.

Best just get a used second hand one...

For the original post:

The Rad fan turns on around 90 degree's from stock temp sensor, Ac fan turns on obviously when you turn the AC on

If your fan is never turning on and the car isn't over...

Sounds like shift linkages mate. These just go at any point really. my first d15b4 original motor with 93hp crapped itself with nanna driving after 150k. Eventually the gear likes to pop out into...

The tool i have is made for a perfect 1 man bleed.

none the less i got my missus out to help and tried it the old fashioned way and after another half a bottle of fluid im almost 100% sure its...

I have defiantly bleed it correctly. I used over a full bottle of fluid to make sure the line had no air in it. I also have a Vacume gun for bleeding breaks etc which has a one way valve on it to...

So i bleed the breaks for almost a full bottle, Got the clutch working fine now but i think my original problem when i first had issues with my clutch is still there. I have a leak somewhere and i...

I have a Vac Gun so i don't need the second person. Like this >>> http://www.unitedtools.ie/product_images/x/182/BER5202__55245_zoom.jpg

I've bleed a bit so far but it must need quite a bit more....

Bludger,

If there was air in the system wouldnt it give some resistance on the peddle?

My peddle stays on the floor if you push it, it doesnt return.

So 3 months ago i took my car off the road when my clutch peddle gave way. Figured it would be slave or master cylinder. At the same time i needed to remove my gearbox as it was on its last legs from...

ill pull appart in a few weeks, 3rd gear synchro needs replacing cos its a little filthy in and out of 3rd. Gonna call honda up tomorrow and order in all the bearing etc.

So the isb needs to be...

Input shaft bearing is that annoying a$$ one with the clip to pull apart the box right?

Yeah i know there are a few more bearing than 3 but the main 3 i know are those.

Replacing all major...

Another thing i want to know is, is it causing issues with my box if i continue to drive it? At the moment i feel no difference in power, performance or handling. Just making a noise really.

So basically in the last 2 weeks Ive started having a noisy tranny. I dont think its my Clutch bearing but i cant be sure. So here are the symptoms atm.

I have no noise whilst parked, either in...

Hahhaa learned my lesson..

Heres the finished product.
