So Fresh So Clean

 

I use the cheap turtle wax heavy and light compounds, they work great for bridging between sandpaper and polishing compound on metals.

A all in one would be cool, but from my experience rubbing compounds have a grit to them (the heavier the compound, the more abrasive it is). So i feel like a "all in one" would just be a lighter/less abrasive compound that will require more work in the long run.

Sorry for the long response, blame it on thw alcohol

 

Yea i think maybe the ultimate compound is a more abrasive polishing compound. The 1500 grit paper likely will do somewhat of the rubbing compounds job and the ultimate compound will finish up the job. It was recomended for the spray paint job im doing. Almost done wet sanding the sti limited lip before 3 more coats of clear and then wetsand again before compound. The oem match paint looks great when the wing is wet. You can really see the blue pearl flake come thru once glossed.

 

Gave it a wash, took some photos.

 

Nice, thats my favorite spot for photoshoots. How long did you last before before security came? lol

 

finally got started on my 2012 quad tip install on my 02 GD RS. This system will include a cutout that will run straight pipes to right side when opened.

First I started by relocating the charcoal canister into the trunk well for piping clearance. also removed the tow hook for now as well as wired up switch

I still need to mock up some piping, make hangars, design custom diffuser, and some more items.

here are some prelim photos of relocated charcoal canister. ill be making a thread for a few more relocation DIYs ill be doing. (power steering tank, ABS module, battery, windshield washer tank)
damn piktures wont load.,

 

 

Did a thing a few days ago...

 

Looks good man. I wanted to do a custom pipe for dual exhaust but decided against it lol.

 

thanks bud! ya i was hesistant when i realized how much work is needed to do it properly. but decided F it, lets do this isht!

 

No one bothered me at all. In fact, I never saw any security while I was there haha.

Man thats nice, Ive done 4 shoots there usually around 7am and got pulled about 10 minutes into each one. We had tripods setup each time.

 

This morning, I finally installed my rear lift assist bar that I had gotten for my Legacy, but sold before I could do the work. I was really nervous about drilling holes on the hatch, but as soon as the drill made contact, I knew I had to commit to completing it. Really happy with the results.

 

Another shot of the bar with my little helper.
