Just a quick word on soda blasting – and I am certainly no expert. I have an old holden I need to have stripped, and a couple of professional painters have said that after soda blasting cars, the owners have had their fresh paint lift off the metal a year or 2 later. They recommended I use some other media to strip the car.

I never get sick of reading about this thing lol!!

EDIT   Not saying you are an average driver lol. Thought I better clarify that hehehehe

First of all, beautiful car and great vids. Definitely picked up a lot of time with tyre and brake upgrades. I did notice you mentioned you wanted to fit a bigger front stabiliser bar to combat understeer? That mod will actually make the car understeer more. As odd as it may sound, stiffening up the rear will get the car to turn in better but dont…[Read more]
