  1. 99% sure you won't find a colour code for it and if memory serves it's a satin finish. Chance for some hydrodipping Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  2. Last time I heard a noise like that it was the power steering motor shorting out on a mini but that never quit. It just kept going and going until the battery flatted out. To me it sounds like an electrical motor Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  3. I'll take it bud. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  4. Love it! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  5. Hydrodipped plenum Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  6. You'll lose BHP with the pop charger so maybe it's offset itself again the spacer so you've only seen 4bhp instead of perhaps 10. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  7. I believe you really need a remap to unlock the power the mods add. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  8. Left hand side of the engine on the gearbox mounted where the flywheel will be inside (I think ) To test it you need a multimeter and to know the correct resistance values (which I dont). Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  9. Any why for the love of poodles would you not change the slave! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  10. ^ twas meeeeeeeee! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  11. So much want for the revolve company car! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  12. What a shambles. Sorry to hear this mate Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  13. Also would add they will be a lot cheaper to study and a lot easier to fit into day to day life. You can even do a 3 day course to get upto practitioner level in Prince with the knowledge academy Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  14. Can I make another suggestion mate. Especially with your engineering background. If you're purely thinking of long term and have no particular attraction to accounting other than its good money and desk based what about doing your Prince2 and or SixSigma. Project managers earn a fricking fortune. In the finance industry a contracting project manager will be on an absolute minimum of 400 a day and employed 40-70k (doc might be able to verify). It's money for old rope as well provided you can talk the talk. I did prince2 before I decided I was going to go crackers doing a job I hated for another 15 years and I could have walked into a junior PM job even with limited experience.

  15. Ah that make a bit more sense! I thought they must know something I don't! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  16. Don't know how much you know about painting so forgive me if I'm telling you how to suck eggs so to speak. When your polishing back in I'd be tempted to do a second stage polish with a lighter compound like farc' finessit to refine your polishing marks out before you seal. Rotary and G3 is a very blunt instrument but an unavoidable one unfortunately. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  17. To be honest mate (not that it would give a great finish) if you put enough rocket hardener in it you could theoretically paint in the morning and flat at the night but I wouldn't want to chance it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  18. Clearcoat even without baking is usually ready to flat off with wet and dry and polish back in the following day after spraying in my experience (or at least that's what we do and I've never seen us have an issue). I've used ceramic on the missus bumper 4 days after it was painted without causing any issues but as Ilogikal said common sense and doing a test spot wouldn't be a bad idea Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  19. Honestly after a week your prob ok with most products but as Stu said the solvents will still gas off for a bit That I guess leads us on to solvent based sealants......couldn't tell you 100% but they would bey only concern in case they could some how soften fresh paint. That said you're only looking for 3-4 months protection so a decent wax will probably do the trick and not cause you want issues. Ed is obviously a leg-end in detailing but Ilogikal will probably give you a very well informed opinion as well as he's experimented with loads of products. One important tip I'd given is to do a wipe down with isopropyl alcohol before applying as you'll almost certainly be lathering the car with G3 to polish the lacquer back in after its been flatted. You need to get that completely off so the wax/sealant can bond properly. Ceramic/glass/nano will last longer but are more expensive and tricky to apply Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  20. Can I ask why you want to change? Only because to me engineering (probably rather naively) sounds such an interesting skill. Guess it depends what your engineering. To give my tuppenceworth on accounting I'd say studying in spare time to become ACA/ACCA takes a long time and needs day leave for university study. Friend of mine did it whilst working for the bank we were at. She had to drop to part time to accommodate it and it took her years. Dollar was good after though Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  21. About 6 hours Jesus was he using a 6 foot wide polishing head! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  22. For me.....on a show car or at least a car you're going to take to shows.....royal graffiti works. Everyday road car your going need to be a serious baller to pull it off. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  23. You want hello kitty mate ;-) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  24. Looks great! How long did it take bud? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
