Looking for Black Friday deals for the Evo. Anybody got leads?

 

Have you driven the car much with this white bed-liner or whatever it is in the wheel wells? After I replace my chassis legs I was going to go with a white epoxy on the entire underside of the car but I'm afraid it will constantly be dirty. Or at least more noticeable than black.

 

Probably don't need to drive the car to know it will get dirty. Very dirty. As in everything you drive over.

 

I got 350mi since, been trying to break in my TC. It's on jackstands again to install more mods. maybe 4hours drive total, no rain, so its still clean. even my spare tire bottom is clean. This is not like the sticky wet OE undercoat which collects road grime, oil and sand (that goes on to my tires on a wet course). If the undercoating dries like paint, like your car's bodypaint then dirt just comes off with soapy water. My plan was to use soapy water (spray degreaser if needed) and a large paint brush (use my water/tire sprayer to rinse & catch it all with my garbage bin cover when inside the garage) and it should be as clean as in the picture again. I regularly remove my wheels to swap or work on something so I would clean if i need to. if this was daily driven I would just hose them off if I'm washing the car, or jack it up by the tow hooks if i want a sparkling clean wheel well. Most nice things 'suggest' high maintenance but it doesnt have to be (but let them think it is). your car gets dirty too as you drive it. the OE undercoat is just gross, even if you clean it the adhesive has that 'used bandage' color. your only real issue is wet tar, then again your body paint get some tar too

I already removed all the crap in the tunnel from TC to rear diff, no coating for now. it looks nice already. I may only need to coat the running board areas, depends what I see when i completely remove the black stuff. as it it turns out every drip of oil/fluid from the front splatters to the underside and collected by the black stuff. No wonder its stingy when i get some in my eyes

 

not true. things fall of when its dry (unlike the OE undercoating)
you can make a white car "dirty" but it wont be shiety-gooey-black-dirty
I bought a 90 degree attachment for my portable pressure washer, Just in case I have the pressure washer out for something else, I can do a quickie underwash. before i put it away. maybe the house siding cleaner works fine for it lol (dont use the pressure washer on the body adhesive or epoxy btw)

 

~350mi


doing the Tomei scrapper (!%@$# black sealants ugh)

 

Powdercoated/rebuilt Brembos and new rotors. Few eyesores down now I gotta do something about the curbed BBS's..

 

oof. so dirty

 

about to start the ACD reloc. just removed half of the packaging

 

Whats this ? Are we going to get a write up in the process ?

 

I bought an extra ACD bracket and it came in packed like this. It's going to be a while since i'm implementing several upgrade/maintenance items (i'm 10years behind lol)

 

Road grime makes great rust protection 😆

 

I hacked up the brake vacuum hose and ran it backwards (check valve in correct direction).


Now it tucks with the ABS lines


Now to restore my fugly brake booster

 

Mine looks exactly the same haha


Picked up this super clean manifold

After a nice cleaning she looks like new. Even factory colored markers still there after some Spray Nine and parts cleaning brush.

 

i miss yellow zinc plating
