D-Turbo Rallycross/Track Car Project

[Jtrigga]

Good project this will be an interesting one. Can I ask what kind of standard equipment you used to paint the car? And are you experienced in painting or was it just a one off? Interested in painting mine but from what I've seen before it seems quite tricky with paints reacting and what not.

We just used a compressor and spray gun with 2 pack paint we only used 2 litres. We prepped the car with a 320 grit on a sander and a scotch pad we did get lots of dust but the car is going to be dirty most of the time anyway so didnt really matter. The paint didnt react at all its so much easier than a rattle can aswell.

Also if its rallye cross I'm guessing your going for a standard turbo / pump as you'll only be skidding / spinning everywhere anyway?

Well we are going to be using it on track days aswell so we need decent power so that will come in time.

have you taken all the sound deadening out??

can weigh more than you think!

There is nothing of the interior left we took out everything its surprising how heavy some of the interior items are.


The interior all painted up
