Oops.
Meanwhile still leaking oil like a bitch, so that'll probably take priority over wheel refurb.

Admittedly there was some there before but this made it worse.Daniel2019 wrote:
Apparently about ~$50 a rim to fix though, so not too bad when I get around to fixing it.

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
Well, the first time was in a parking spot that was narrow and close to the road and I misjudged. And this time was turning left at a set of lights and paying too much attention to potential oncoming traffic and not enough to the curb.Vectose wrote:This.Daniel2019 wrote:I've literally never kerbed a wheel, I dunno how you people manage to do it

I think I would classify "punishing" myself via that action as being "noob as f**k"

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
I've curbed mine a little, from taking a corner too tight, but I'm just a noob, and I'll use the excuse that I've only been driving for 2 years and that's mostly highway driving :p

Part it out!
Could be worse I suppose, at least it's silver on silver.

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
For this 1111th reply, I am pleased to announce (as most of you probably saw already) car is fixed and back! \o/
Right headlight now requires a more comprehensive polish than ScratchX to try and bring it up to standard with the new left one.

They did a really good job aligning the bumper!

Yeah, pretty good for two accidents worth.Technikhaus wrote:They did a really good job aligning the bumper!
It somehow feels as though the new bonnet is lighter too... might just be my imagination.

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
Washed. Useful bits were off couple weeks ago in preparation for moving it on. Actually impressed at how good the handling is with just the springs and Enkeis on it, now that both strut braces are gone and the sway bar is stock. Also polished driver headlight with Turtle Wax kit, but no particularly spectacular results. Looks better than it did though.

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
Washed it for the first time in a few months so it was semi-presentable for Slow Life's "Soft Parking" meet. Discovered exactly how much brake dust had accumulated on the wheels.
Nearing the end of my need for this one with diff for the white car ordered. It's been really weird seeing it on the stock wheels, as the RPF1s went on at the same time as Dstocks facelift factory ts bumper. Certainly reinforces that a decent fitting wheel does wonders for the overall impression of shape for the FTO, especially the rear.

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
Put the pod back on the stock intake pipe so I could fit the UAS and panel filter to the white car.
Forgot how humorously obnoxious a pod with stock exhaust is. MIVEC, though!
