Looks good man. I ran the some BC coil overs on my STI a few years back and they were insanely rough, even on the softest setting so i'm glad to hear with the Swift springs they worked out.

I think you guys are putting the PSI on a pedastool. (40 year old virgin reference anyone?)

PSI is just a by-product from Forced Induction (and an undesirable one at that).

Rusty is correct. Different forced inductions units at the same PSI can have widely different air flows. If you're curious, pull up flow charts for different turbos and compare their CFM at the same...

They do have clear plasti but it doesn't look so great when sprayed onto regular clear coat. You can definitely tell, it looks like a messed up paint job.

You would be much better off getting...

Once you use a synthetic clay towel/pad you won't go back. They perform at 90% the level of traditional clay but is like 3 times faster. The only time I find myself reaching for my actual clay bar is...

Have you considered doing it yourself? For the price it costs to get your whole car's paint corrected you could buy the stuff.

It doesn't look as if it's through the clear coat. The general rule of thumb is if it catches your fingernail it's most likely gone through, in which case it will need to be repainted. If not, they...

Ahhh I see you used the Kevin Brown method of M205/MF Finishing pads. Good call.

Can I ask why you used the Griot's DA on some panels instead of the Rupes? Were you just after the shorter throw?

You are spot on! Before detailing it I asked him as this was probably the most swirled out car i've worked on. He said that when it snowed he would use a broom to dust all the snow off it. One of the...

Thank you. I haven't had the pleasure of working on that Black Cherry though, I can't wait to get my hands on one. If they sold the Nismo in that color I would have gotten one for sure.

You are correct, hardness level of the clear coat is caused by the mixing ratios of polyurethane with whatever thinner you use.

Injector duty at 99% is way too high, you can't even account for variances in temperature at that point. No wonder the engine ran too lean.

That sucks man. What caused it to run so lean? What AFR's were you getting before it popped? I just dont see how any knowledgeable tuner could let it leave their shop while it runs lean.

Unfortunately there is nothing that will hide scratches in plastic. For UV protection, 303 aero works good as does numerous other dressings. Just don't use Armorall.

Also keep in mind that clay comes in different grades/duties. A light duty clay bar will have a hard time picking up iron fillings, tar and tree sap. While a heavier duty will pick it up no problem.

What you are seeing is iron fillings attached to the clear coat. You can remove these by clay barring, or alternatively use Iron-X which will dissolve them. Iron-X is relatively safe but take caution...
