So, you painted over the plastidip? How's the finish, is it glossy or bumpy like plastidip?

 

[TurboMirage]

It's in between. The green went on very thick out of the can.

 

[double0Si]

That color is pretty popular these days. Seeing it on everything.

Painted directly onto the sidewall too? What did you use to prep the tire?

 

[TurboMirage]

Nothing. I peeled most of it off the tire , the rest I just rubbed off with my hand.

CART event this past sunday to check out the new rubber, it was like ZEN. my co-driver (reigning FSP champ) beat me by .7 seconds and we were ~4 seconds behind a porsche cayman S. the car is very competitive.

Here's JMs 2nd run taken from my iPhone-

Really like the new wheel color Chris

there is zero reason to do that. it handles like a bag of shit. however the ride is smooth and eerily quiet even with the pedal down, it is roomy inside and quite luxurious... his SC400 is a much better choice for this.

Hmm. Good to know.

CURT trailer hitch with brand new hardware i picked up for my tiretail project. putting 2 tires outside the car allows me to carry 3 other passengers inside.

We were going to do that with out LeMons car -- take it to a bullshit local AX to shake it down.

But we didn't finish it in time. I think we finished the car IN THE PADDOCK BEFORE TECH.

 

[TurboMirage]

i installed the hitch today. took about 20 minutes.

 

[TurboMirage]

30K on the clock as it sits outside my office.

 

[Celerity]

How long have you had it ?

 

[TurboMirage]

just shy of 1 year and 3 months.

i wracked up miles on the mitsu much faster, about 7-10k more a year at the least.

 

[Celerity]

That's not bad. I'm hitting 5000 miles a month - so far. Just moved into town so I expect my car will be parked all the time until I'm ready to hit the highway.

carbon wrapped my roof last night, and like a dumbass i tried to wax it today. should have probably done some research before doing so, but heres a question, happen to know how to get the white haze out of the texture?
