    Spray on chrome

    yeah durability have crossed my mind as well. i.e. front bumper on a daily driver. it wont be as durable as a proper electroplated chrome finish, but if there is a finish durability guarantee for it then it could be worth it. although i would think that it would be suitable for those tiny chrome bits inside the car.
  2. 318is is an awesome daily driver. especially around stop and go stoplight areas. shouldn't have sold mine.

    Spray on chrome

    oh is there? its basically the same product but the methodology is different. who does it in auckland?
  4. i always ask when i get my fixed at a garage i always ask who will be the one working on it. i always specify if possible i don't want a trainee / apprentice to work on my cars. downside is usually i have to wait a couple of days before the senior mechanics are free. have had a trainee before who did not bolt on the transmission oil cooler on my e36!! the bolt was on top of the radiator rolling around and he did not press down the the clips of the radiator properly. good thing it did not fall apart in the motorway on the way home.
  5. ^^ puts my hand up as a jungle mechanic

    Spray on chrome

    been perusing around the interwebs on why the hell it is expensive to get bumpers rechromed which i found the price FAIR for what they need to do. a lot of work goes into it and came across this Visit My Website the cool stuff starts at around 4:45. dont think we can get it yet here basically what you need is a base coat. the solutions and then clear coat it
  7. if a mechanic whos going to work on my car says "what is this engine flush for" or how do you change diff oil.. i would be high tailing it out of there no second thoughts.
  8. a bit of an old video 2004, but still a good watch. racing factory cars in 38c weather to see which one wont break 2 x 20 min laps of tsukuba. csl overheating a bit
  9. yeah seen that one. its a bottom spec nsx. auto too. last year IIRC there was 3 nsx for sale in trademe. none were manuals. was in a subaru workshop 6 years ago at east auck. the guy had 2 nsx in bits on pallets stored up in the garage. ask him what he was doing with it. he said he was rebuilding it but dont have the time now. he offered me each for 25k not assembled. I would give a kidney for a type R NSX!! need two arms and 2 legs to enjoy it a 1992 Type R nsx still sells quite hefty probably priced around 50+kNZD base models 30k NZD. there is a 2002 type R in ebay atm (the only type r ive seen for sale lately) selling price of 114k USD ~>145k NZD they hold their price way more than most mercs and bmw lol.
  10. The only Honda to hold its value? they still selling circa $40k still. manuals cost more and the Type R cost an arm and a leg still.

    megaupload vs FBI

    haha he has a 30 million dollar house!!. ^^ if you got the cash.. why not?? i would.. they are probably not going to end up in jail serving a long time, they just going to lawyer up and its going to drag on to a stalemate and become very expensive, megaupload ending up shutting down or they win. probably going to argue,depending on the accusation, something along the lines of: they are just providing a service to the public. they do comply with authorities in that when requested they take down offending files (which they do often) good business for lawyers this is.
