Did those lines come with your intake tube? I'm debating on a catch can or just doing what you did..

 

came with but i replaced a few things myself. I'm putting on a custom air/oil separator on as well. going with the radium engineering unit. i would start with the intake tube if i was you.

 

Sure thing. Very interested in seeing your finished air/oil separator..

 

Are the 2 valve cover hoses going into the intake tube the only breather hoses feeding back into the intake?

 

very clean engine bay and nicely done.

 

any part outs? ( sorry, somebody had to say it ).. dibs on the exhaust..

 

Installed BCracing coilovers in an RCF today.

 

Did this a few days back. Shot her up with Stabil, pumped her shoes up to 45 psi, hooked her up on life support (Battery Tender), and covered her up for the next ~3.5 months. Will be a long wait!

 

Absolutely love your RCF, especially with all the mods you have been doing. Couldn't find a website for 360eliteusa. I'm curious which company produced the piece and the cost? Thanks.

 

i feel your pain. but its a great feeling knowing its safe in the garage, thats for sure.

 

May the groundhog see no shadow in anticipation of sunnier days!

 

Nice HRE wheels, but I am afraid of carbon brakes, a friend had one sheer on him when he hit the brakes hard while cold. I know it is a no no but it was to prevent a bigger issue. I bet when they are at operating temp they must be awesome.

 

Yeah, and I'll appreciate her even more come spring.

Yeah, hoping end of March like last year was when I got my F out!

 

Black out badges.
Masking chrome trim, spray over rubber too.
Complete.




Paint softening/cloudy.


First DIY mods since I've had my RC F for a few weeks now.
I blacked out the rear badges and chrome window trim.
I actually used Rustoleum Peel Coat, as it seemed equivalent and was a available locally in stores here in Australia.
I did do some research first to see others experiences with it and felt comfortable with it.

Firstly, I did one side of window trim, masked very carefully only leasing the chrome exposed, but unfortunately damaged some fine edges when removing the tape. There's also a very fine chrome line visible which seemed unavoidable. It's not bad, but will re do it one way or another. There is lots of fine rubber moulding to work around.

Next, I blacked out the rear badges and that worked fine.

Then I had another go at the other side of chrome window trim, and this time decided to also spray over the rubber mouldings, but still masked everything very carefully. Frustratingly, there is still a fine chrome line in places where the adjacent fine rubber mouldings are. I definitely covered these while spraying, but a tiny line kept opening up and I thought the spray would bridge the fine line.

One more issue experienced which is the most worrying is that the 1 inch border of the overspray has lost its gloss on the paintwork and tapping/scratching with my fingernail tells me it's definitely softened the paint.
The colour seems to have lightened slightly and you can definitely see the difference.
The Peel Coat was only on for 30 mins too.
I then went to the back of the car to check if the paint was also faded around the rear badged, but it looked fine.
However, the fingernail test confirmed that the paint had been softened.
The badges were done about 6 hours before I checked the paint.

Now I don't want to try to fix the other side of window trim in case the same issues happens with the paint.
Will have to look at other options.

Has anybody else had this?
I really hope the paint issue is just temporary and that it possibly removed a wax coating, however the softness worries me.

 

I feel your pain...hang in there! Luckily, weather hasn't gotten too cold/bad yet so still able to take mine out but weather is changing
