    So nothing big, but just getting ready for fitted friday at the end of the month at eastern creek sydney motorsport Park

    so my car was backfiring like absolute crazy couldn't figure it out thought it could of been fuel pump or coilpack, but the only one that made sense was my spark plugs as it would backfire under load and acceleration and i would loose power straight away.

    so went and bought some new plugs and this is what i found !!!

    Looks like they haven't been changed in forever



    Sorry for out of focus but this is it next to the new ones




    chucked them in and all is good now no more backfiring and misfires of the cylinders under load !!!



    i have lost motivation to finish my wheels but my Beautiful Girlfriend Ellie has said she wants to help sand them down and get them ready for paint and prep !!!
    she's awesome so thanks to her they will actually get finish

    also getting the centre bores for the spacers bored out as i bought them from a 5x100 celica, so the needs to be bored out to 57.3 in diameter


    Til next time happy scraping

      also forgot to mention, so same night i fixed the sparks i went for a quick test drive to make sure all was good and then i was going about 140km/ph down a backstreet in my area and i took a chunk of the road out with my sump and subframe all is good on the car no cracks in the sump ( good old 12v mk3 vr6 steel sumps, soon hard to break them !!! ) and the subframe wellllllll its holding up, but might get a refreshed subframe sometime this year haha

      sparks flew everywhere wish i had a camera for it was cool to see tbh haha then the shock settled in and i stopped to check if everything was ok, and not a single leak or broken anything

            Wheel Update Photo heavy

            Alright soon quick wheel update on the Rays VolkRacing CV Pros

            my Beautiful Girlfriend Ellie knew that my motivation to finish these wheels was extremely low so she has been over every night this weekend helping me sand them back so i can spray them with a filler primer and then get them ready and closer to paint.

            as the wheels had paint stripper on them at some point and the original owners of the wheels had done shitty paint jobs the paint had lots of bumps cracks and other shit that makes them look cheap, so this is where I'm up to

            Ignore the shit in the garage, my house is currently under renovations so theres crap everywhere haha







            Paint stripped and sanded back to bare metal









            First coat down







            In the background i have the dart board, defyallodds banner and my Bora to do list



            Second coat down




            So i haven't taken photos of the 3rd and 4th coat on both Centres that were down to bare metal

            and the ones with the paint left on them is currently like this

            Sanded down and almost ready to get filler primed







            so til next time happy scraping

            ON THE ROAD TO FITTED FRIDAY !!!!

              nice progress,

              still looks like there are few imperfections in the dimple(?) of the spokes, or it might be the picture is making it look like that.

              sorry if i've missed this, but what color are the wheels going to be?

              interested to see how this goes


              i shouldn't be daily driving this:

                Yea theres quiet a few imperfection in the spokes or dimples whichever you would like to call it, there imperfections all over wheels as i didn't get them sandblasted and money is tight as I'm in my last year of school.

                Well first off i was going to paint them white then maybe a dark purple but now i have made my mind up with a gloss black with my gold and platinum hardware as it should just match the style of the car so far ( Black and White )

                but again open to suggestions and photoshops haha

                        Getting them painted as i type this, first coat of paint is going on, i went with Black as it would look good on the black and white and the purple idea went out the window as i couldn't find a nice purple that would suit
                        and white, well its white all imperfections show up sadly and keeping them clean will be a bitch and a half !!!

                        Cheers back in black, haha yea its very underpowered, but as P Platers like myself in NSW we have Power to weight ratio Restrictions which is 130KW per Tonne, so my car falls into the top 5 fastest P Plater cars in NSW which is good and its enough power for a daily anyways, will be ripping it out and going R32 Supercharged After i get of my P's ( Previsional Licence )

                        yea oath man was pretty scary did it again tonight actually bring home chicken and chips for dins ! smashed the subframe into the ground again, couldn't stop this time to check the marks as it was a main road but sparks flew everywhere lol

                          Quick Update *Photo Heavy*

                          So this is just a quick update on what i have done in the past few days and Last night!!
                          soooooooooo much to do before Fitted Friday on Friday night this week at Eastern Creek so i will be in the garage every afternoon


                          So first off i got down to changing the Headlight covers to new Plastic ones


                          Old headlights




                          Looks Rad without the front bar !! IMO



                          Front bar without the lip
                          VDUBBN



                          then my Girlfriend came to visit when i was half way through doing them






                          Makes the difference and totally updates the look





                          then the other night started with polishing the Lips





                          Then i started the painting of the centres, tbh theres a lot of imperfections but what can you do when you're on a tight student budget, so this is how they've turned out

                          First light coat



                          then a few coats later





                          Played some darts whilst waiting for the paint to dry



                          Getting some stuff done on the list finally




                          Then painted one of the other centres



                          then put a clear coat on both centres




                          Then quickly put the bolts around with one of the more polished Lips
                          still need to drill the lips centres and barrels out so the Hardware fits





                          Put the "waffles" in and centre cap
                          probably won't run them as i only have 3






                          To be completely honest I'm pretty happy with the result I've gotten for a home job and the first time I've rebuilt wheels
                          not completely professional and they aren't the best and i can say that but I'm happy with what I've got, now to finish the lips and paint the last 2 centres drill it all out and then mount the tires up and finish then get the spacers bored out and then mount up onto the car !!

                          so this is all I've got for now, will probably have a quick update on the finished product before i head off for fitted friday !!


                          Til next time Happy Scraping
                          On the road to Fitted Friday !!!

                            anyone got much info on people chucking the fender edition beetle wheels on a mk4 platform or jetta
                            i know they're 18x8 or 8.5 and 5x112 so will need adapters but i guess trying to find a set will be hard!!
