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

[Alvis]

Hi guys!

I thought it would be good to start the Official Thread What did you do to your EK today

That way members who are not working on a build, can post those sometimes big, small, good, not so good, funny or just out right annoying things that happen during the day

I think we can make this a great thread for the OzHonda community!

stupid thing happened, went to shopping centres, underground parking, the freaking side curbs are ridiculously high, and roads narrow as, so as i went to turn around a bend, poof!, run over the curb, pulled over, looked, a massive gutter rash!!!! and on closer inspection, a chunk of rubber has ripped off :S, so pissed!!!

never driving underground parking again >

Today, I changed out my interior lights with nice 24 smd LED ones.



However, also some idiot at uni opened their door into me, leaving an annoying ding.

If you dont mind me asking how did u manage to polish the heatshield and get a really nice result like that?

[Mullensxxx]

start with a low grit and keep going to 1000 or higher then a nice metal polish, its easy as, obviously gonna be harder if its in crap condition

i actually used a polishing buffer head attachment on a normal drill press. But you will need different polishing compounds depending on what condition it's in.

My heatshield hadn't been done since the car was new, so it was a bit messy... so what i started with was the different polishing compounds (like the ones below) - the brown compound gives it the once over and removes the dirt/debris, while the green one actually polishes it.

After that, best to use a metal polish (Autosol Metal Polish - good sh#t made in Germany lol) to finish it off!
