markssupra Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hows it going Mark? not scratched it yet i hope. Lol, not yet. Being very careful Rob! Decided on wheels yet bud? Not yet mate, been tied up sorting other bits out recently. Once I get the rear suspension back on I'll be able to check what clearance I have, then go from there. Could do with some ideas on styles and colour but I think black will be best We need more pics :p :D haha, loving the updates dude Thanks Alex, more pics soon. Busy sorting things at work as need more machinery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do with some ideas on styles and colour but I think black will be best I reckon that black will look best for you as well dude! Maybe even the slightly different colour combo that CCW have started doing on some of their wheels? https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/q71/s720x720/1524967_10151782084890916_1662971327_n.jpg Satin black centres with gloss black lips. Looks different certainly! --------------- EDIT --------------- Here is another picture as well, maybe more the style you should go for http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=179176&stc=1&d=1389268922 Edited January 9, 2014 by James (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C12MMO Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Ye your onto a winner with black alloys and orange calipers. Loving watching this come together. Your doing an excellent job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Loving the idea of the black CCW wheels, Getting very tempted to get mine done. As for the calipers, I'm personally not a fan of the idea to paint them orange. I would paint them dark grey/gunmetal, same as the inserts of the facelift front and rear lights assuming your going facelift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would paint them dark grey/gunmetal, same as the inserts of the facelift front and rear lights assuming your going facelift. Oh don't say that! My backup plan if the clean-up of my wheels isn't successful is to black them out haha! I agree completely about making the brakes match facelift inserts! Might be too particular but I wouldn't be happy with orange calipers unless they were exactly the same shade as the bodywork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Some good points there, hadn't thought about doing the calipers the same colour as the inserts. I have got the facelift rears lights but not the fronts yet, I do fancy the idea of the calipers being body colour but not sure if could be replicated in powdercoat. I need someone with photoshop skills so I could see what it could look like with either caliper colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange calipers FTW! why have mahoosive brakes if you aint going to show the beasts off! Thanks everyone, I am leaning towards body colour calipers if poss. Car isn't exactly a subtle colour so might as well show them off behind the black wheels.

markssupra Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Another job started, stripped down the brake master cylinder ready for some polishing bling. Taken a good few hours already with more to come, need some polishing bobs for the Dremel to get into the nooks. The bigger mops cant get in there.

Kaan W Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That looks great Mark! I did this with mine it's a right pita lol. Is that a 2 or 3 port? Mines a 3 but wish I used a 2 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrashcanman Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 What did you use to polish that up with mate? I'm guessing it wasn't just some elbow grease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 What did you use to polish that up with mate? I'm guessing it wasn't just some elbow grease? Haha, no chance. A few different grade polishing mops on a bench grinder were used, only trouble was looking like I had guy liner on, that shit gets everywhere. I had to use make up wipes in the end to get it off around my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markssupra Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Spent an hour or so Sunday morning giving the fuel tank a good clean up before it goes back on. The neck sleeve was especially dirty and took a bit of effort to get that clean. Breather hard line had a few rust spots so out with the rust killer and then covered it in adhesive lined heatshrink tubing. The last two pics show the heatshink.

Also not sure if its just me but can't see the pictures in your above post mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
