Beau's Trueno..

[Mr Beau]

well well. Didnt really get as much as i would have liked this weekend. But i did do more driving then anything and that was a nice change for once.

Have to say the FOX held its own, even for the fact it needs a service BAD, needs new brake fluid and pads, new rear tyres and now a new battery as i found the current one had been leaking and ripping the paint off the chassis. so that is now getting fixed up next weekend with a bit of a spot welding hit for that sucka!

But what i did do was put all the interior back in. GOD DAM that made the car quiter and nicer! i also put on those TRD spark plug leads which really do nothing other then add flavour and a cusco strut brace thanks Kev!

Come to think of it... i did fuck all, other then drive it!! Im really happy with it! and im hoping after new tyres, braided brake lines the HKS brake fluid and Mu secret pads it will be much better including giving everything a oil change and installing the PWR steer arms

ohh well enough blabbing here are some pics!!

Mr Beau Wrote:Pedro: Hey, well i dont know how this one has been done but normally the best way to do it is firstly getting a good qauilty wing then using blind rivets and stik-a-flex (dont know what you guys call it) but a strong water tight glue.

But reading your post again i think you think its not painted or something under the wing, as it is so that keeps the rust away.

Hope that answered your question

Thanks for the response, is what I needed to know, since I just ordered Shine Auto's wing and I'll be slaping it in a couple of weeks and I will do that water sealant glue to be on the safe side.

And yes, I understand that the whole hatch door is painted :wink:

Well, thanks for the info. Great car you got there

Also the car is getting a bit of time spent on it tomorrow.
-Pwr Steer arms going in!
- New oil
- New Diff oil
- New Brake fluid (HKS race fluid :wink: )
- Braided Brake lines all round.
- New rear tires

Im really happy with the car, really just hanging to get my Bride and a harness in it and more and more track days to be had.

I have one next weekend and i cant wait!

[Mr Beau]

well work happened today like i stated it would.

Braided lines front and back! Found that the front left rotor has the texture of a motorcross track so next week the fronts will be swapped for slotted and some TRD or Mu pads. like 600c or something to keep it sane!

next on the list was new engine oil!! thank god! it needed it! new filter and all that jazz!

then new rear tires feels alot better but we will see how much better they are tomorrow morning at one Mt.

Though it was not all fun and games Hydro handbrakes suck ass and effect everything so that is getting launched and replaced by a stock handbrake! cant wait it will be better, safer and look cleaner!! Hope to get that next week!

Also got a new battery as the current one has been leaking, im also going to be mounting it in the boot tomorrow. So its all done for when i slap a odyssey in there!

Well enough of the novel writing here are some pics i could be bothered taking!

Drinky drinky!
