NitroDann's Long Awaited Garage Thread

[NitroDann]

Im getting sick of some stuff about my car.

Im going to get a ms3x, with flex fuel, so I can refill anywhere. And finally have some fuel economy back.

Also id like to improve my interior.
Still thinking really.

I have some spare interior parts if you want bits, if your looking to leave it stripped but tidy it up I'm sure we could make it cleaner easily!

[NitroDann]

Yeah im looking at doing new door trims, with no holes for handles, and GT3 style door pulls.

Along with new crash pad coverings, running along the front of the dash. Probably a removable hardtop window, along with so brackets for the side windows. New steering wheel, new gearknob. Gearstick cover.

Repaint the whole car.

Advice people?

Off this topic but welding gloves with more wrist, spatter etc in ones gloves can be a horror story.

[NitroDann]

I normally dont wear them at all, and theres no spatter with a tig welder, but I appreciate that, ill get longer ones for the stick welder.

Does the Gal not bubble and pop with TIG?
Greg.
P.S. Sorry Dan, nice work on those looms.

[noobee]

and use a fan to blow any gal smoke away from you.

To get a nice weld you need to clean the gal really well. So no it doesnt. Bit good idea with the fan thanks.

I reckon you're going soft.

I'm thinking of doing something similar with the door trims when I eventually get mine and delete the stereo. As usual, give us a shout if you want a hand with anything.

I know stickers are heavy and everything, but I reckon this would be a useful feature for the passenger's side of your dash:

Only in my thread.

Alos, thats a great sticker!

I used to have

''No, there is nothing to hold onto. Good luck.''

I though it was good for an original dash sticker.

The Pulsar should have "No, there is no seat. Good luck."

[NitroDann]

''Hold on. To the rollcage. Good luck''


Hahaha

Update:

Got a new laptop. New tune, went from 4.5km/L up to 8km/L. Also replaced a coil that was very weak.
The car has its power back and is actually driving 95% like a stock car, but faster.

Also yesterday a hard shift into 3rd broke both M10 8.8 grade steel bolts that go through my engine mounts and therefore hold the engine in the car. One engine mount block fell shear out of the car.
Just picked up a 10.9 grade ones.

Also, my radiator finally split in 2, half my fault, but it was ready to go, hence the EOIs the past few weeks, 52mm dual core ordered should have it in a few days.

'Spikes' is lending me his stock old one which I repaired, for a few days.
