They worked before everyone started looking at the pics! It should be fixed in a minute or two.......

Anyone know how long I need to wait in between coats of XXX Hardcore? Does this wax need time to "cure"?
 
Thanks. Nothing was applied by machine. I did everything by hand. I figure in a year or two I will strip everything and machine apply some polish and go from there.



I used the Blackfire "Gloss Enhancing Polish". Since they are local (Tampa) they recommend this and I though I would give it a try. They are some good people at Classic Motoring Accessories - Car Care and Detailing Supplies!!! I have always been a Meguiars "3-Step" fan, but wanted to step it up a little after buying the Evo, and they talked me into it!

awesome I was considering getting a bottle of that but after reading some posts it looks like what I need is the Blackfire SRC, tho that GEP does sound promising.





Wish I could buy it in sample sizes to try it out.
 
One thing about the Blackfire wax and polish is that they go on so smooth. They come off even smoother with no residue whatsoever. I compared this to the Meguiars NXT paste, and it seems as though the NXT takes more pressure and more wipes to get the wax off. Just my opinion though.

cool thanx, i already have optimum polish but looking for a upgrade. It doesnt get better than BF and Menzerna





is that a stock exhaust?





Any mods?



Had a eclipse GSX so I am familiar with the 4G63
 
BC Racing coilovers, boost gauge, WORKS air filter, Injen SES cat-back, GT spec trunk cage are the only mods right now. I am trying to retain a close to stock look, with a quiet exhaust. I have a TTP downpipe and Helix high flow cat going on in the next week or two. After that and a MBC and 93 octane flash, I am done! Should be good for 320 or so AWHP.

Cool, is the Injen full 3 inch or does it neck down at the stock cat?



Is the DP 2.5 or 3 inch?



A cat wow what are those? lol



I had a apexi N1 with a 3inch dp from Buschur damn this was loud but it had no cat



I know even stock that the 16G is pushing soom boost, 17.5psi maybe?



What u turning it up to?



the flash eliminates a AFC?
 
Stock boost is set at:



20.16 psi @ 3500 (wot)



and tapers off to



16.10 psi @ 6500 (wot)



I may turn it up to 22 or so, and get rid of the taper. The downpipe and HFC I have is 3". They say the Injen muffler "tapers down" at the muffler, but I seriously don't see how it would bottleneck like some say. We willl soon see once I get this all installed!



I just put my second coat of XXX Hardcore on, and all I can say is WOW! A few more coats to go.....
