When I did mine, I shot blasted them in the uni shot blaster and that took AGES!
Etch primer, filler primer, primer, paint and laquer cost me £40 as well but that did all 4 wheels. They are 10" wheels mind.
Agree'd about the successful jobs but they hardly ever happen. However, my indicator relay went on my A3 and it's concealed within the hazard switch. I queued in Euro Car Parts longer than it took me to swap it over but they always take forever when I go into ECP
That looks great Duncan. Glad the tracking has sorted the handling out for you. Right, I'm home for a few days so I've done a couple of bits and bobs.
Cam cover ready for AN fittings to be welded on:
The rear hub nuts were properly stuck on so I ended up grinding away at them and smacking them with a chisel. Finally got them off in the end.
Rear radius arms built up with SC hubs and lightened superfins:
Lockwired my steering arm bolts too:
It's quite satisfying to do when it goes right.
Want to have my rear subframe built up this week but snapped/stuck bolts are holding me back. Any ideas, I've tried welding nuts onto the ends but I can't get any good penetration and they keep snapping. Tried drilling a hole into some 2mm steel and welding them together but again can't get good enough penetration.
My friend has an S3 and I was really impressed by it. Ice Cream Sandwich makes my 4S seem a little dated, hopefully Apple will release an update soon to compete.
