Sheesh...thought was ok after installation of the oil catch tank.

With aircon ON :
Encountered erratic idling today ranging from 450 ~ 700.
Once it dropped nearly to 350 ( almost stalled ).
Adjusted the screw near the manifold but to no use.

Probably the manifold starved for air.....
I think i will connect the return line back to the IM instead of venting to atmosphere and monitor from there.

Regards,

i found the flexi tube used in my previous car. will try to fix it up. now like no air intake cos no piping used. guess its taking in all the hot air from the engine bay area.

Ok...everyone...finally the my callipers are done...

Here is the Story...
Tried to contact Peter but he went to the church, then remembered that bro tohallan had silver left, so came into the forum and look for his contact number but stunned...

can't find any...only got email.
Finally, no choice, went down to Johnson and buy....reach there, he said he only got 2 colors left...Red and Black...bought Red in the end...Oh no, Ah Beng car...

Here is the photos...I started at 1 plus...

Starting Product

After 5 hours of sanding...shag sia...good workout

After 5 hours of spraying...starting to see the fruits of my labour

Final product after 10 hours of hard work. Can see that the photos getting darker and darker liao too...But it was worth it lah...haha...sense of achievement(But I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!!!???)...

Total Cost:
1) VHT Paint - $12.50
2) Sand Paper - $0.30
3) Electricity - Free at Peter's carpark...hahaha

congratulations to ron for his calipers

next DIY day will probably be 8th or 15th april.. i'll be installing my sparco bucket seat.. so you guys can start planning too if you wana do something..

i think the prelude caliper spraying is quite tiring if you follow my extremely anal methods of sanding and prep..

so if anyone wants to do it pls let me know in advance.. prob hold it on a separate day unless you wana come punctually at 12noon on DIY day (like ron and darren last time haha)

oh and my dad says no smoking! haha he says you can smoke at the gate not in the carpark

healthly lifestyle la..
