Time for paint! So I've got all the interior done besides the door cards. I've fixed as much as the drivers side wing as I possibly could with the little talent I have with body fillter. I've fitted a VTI-S splitter on the front. Unfortunately I was unable to source a rear lip or side skirts but when I re-colour the car I'll try and get them before I paint it. For now, I think it looks pretty good anyway. I still need to fit the lowering springs and exhaust back box so it does look like it's on stilts right now. I went for matte black full dip base (Similar to Plasti Dip), with a Midnight Blue Pearl top coat, finishing off with a gloss coat. Unluckily, I did get runs in the gloss, and my poor masking skills did present a few hiccups on some of the edges, but it's a learning process and I will improve on these next time I come to paint it again. The Process Here is the car prior to paint. Setting up the gazebo as my DIY spray booth. Car all cleaned and first coat of matte black base. Second coat on and starting to look good. Third coat of matte black. Final coat and ready to dry over night. Time to start on the pearl coats. Midnight blue pearl mixed in to 50:50 matte clear and glossifier. Dust coat already covering the black. First wet coat applied. Second wet coat. Final coats applied and looking awesome. I took off the tail lights and did a few coats of PlastiDip Smoke before applying the gloss. The smoke dries as a matte finish the same as normal dip, and I wanted to go over them with gloss also. Gloss applied to car, and left to dry over night. Jap2Jap Monthly Meet at Botany Bay, showing off my work. Before & After Thanks for viewing! Few more updates to come on exhaust, springs and any other mods I do.

Awaiting Tom to enter a deck

So on Thursday 23rd June we took Dave for his first all day open pitlane session! We went to Cadwell Park and took our Dad with us, this was a joint birthday and fathers day present for him to let him drive the track car. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the day! Large variety of cars, a few offs and good banter with the other people there. Between us we did 65 laps of the track, it was the most hard work I've ever done for track driving so far, the circuit is narrow, twisty and so intricate in parts! The car performed so well, took a lot of abuse. We were quick in a straight line but this track really highlighted the handling shortfalls against some of the other cars. Though a couple of Clio's were running slicks! Thanks to @Jayhoath83 for our latest sticker, VTEC farting unicorn in rainbow vinyl! Sound testing, 105db limit and we made 105db! After my Dad took a trip on the grass! Rain tyres Semi slicks Cooling off. Track drying out, too much for the wets! Old skool Astra, bloke bought in from the Netherlands a week before the track day! The three loons and Dave. Videos: Dad Stef Krzys
