I'll give it ago. It's only cheap and can just peel off again right?

I think most the stuff on eBay would be pretty much the same

I did the whole light, but then redid it and preferred the difference with just the indicator section done.

Easy to do, easy to undo.

What I used.....

That's what I just bought.

We'll see how it all goes. Heaps to play with as well I think on that roll.

Cheers Mark.

So next weekend I'll finally have a chance to get the car off the road for the weekend.

I'm thinking I'll paint my calipers.

Undecided on colour at the moment. Black, silver or blue. I don't think blue would work but black or silver would.

I stumbled across this kit as well whilst on YouTube watching some DIY videos.

Anyone seen it before or think its a good idea ??

That kit looks shit.

Just go to Bunnings and buy something like Killrust which is self priming, and do 2 coats of it. Plus some sandpaper if you are going to hand sand it, and some turps if you don't have any around.

Lol fair enough.

Any thoughts on colour?

On the stock stuff I wouldn't do anything other than black. Looks shit house having stupid colours on small brakes.

Tom, you painted.........everything........... :shock:

by **HoFF** » Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:09 am

Yeah only taped off all the rubber bits. I didnt see the point if trying to mask off the pad and the clips

Well the track day was a great success on all parts until I was literally 1minute away from my house and then I had a pulley fail on me

I guess that was the noise I was getting checked out on Monday anyway. Luckily my mechanic just happened to drive past and helped me get my car back into their workshop

On a good note

My brake setup worked flawlessly. Not a single hint of fade at all. Very very impressed with those results.

My Kido coilovers worked an absolute treat. I had the wound all the way up to hard and it just drove like it was on rails.

All this together and I actually won my group

.

That was after 3 runs

Just wanted to comment on how flawless this wagon looks in person

Very tidy example and tastefully modded hoff

Hope you sort that pulley issue easily and look forward to seeing you at future events

Cheers
Mick

Cheers Mick

means alot coming from you. Pleasure to meet you mate

The pulley should be all sorted on Monday maybe Tuesday depending on parts being in stock.

My fastest time for Marulan was a 49.43 which I'm pretty happy with aswell

Glad to hear it's getting sorted mate, was great to meet you on Friday and glad you enjoyed yourself! I agree with Mick, very nice looking wagon!
