Ian B · 09-09-2019, 11:49 PM

Dropping it off tomorrow to have the roof and both plastic top door trims too painted. Previous owner did not take care and clear coat gone.

Installed an OS Giken LSD, whiteline bushings, and a nismo diff cover

Roof painted yesterday. Drove by to check it out and looks like new. Paint will get buffed today and will be ready Monday. Wanted to load the iphone 10 second video but, got some bs error message.

Once painted, the business next to the body shop will do a full detail on the outside everywhere but where painted.

SPL FUCAs arrive tomorrow.

Rebuilt the foam for both side bolsters and one thigh bolster for my Sparco seat. Driver and passenger flooring is now soundproofed with CCF. Interior of Z is fully reinstalled. Just finished sanding the rust off a used pair of SPL rear camber arms that I'm installing this week as well.

Rust on SPL parts? The arms are aluminum. You must mean the adjuster parts. When you put them back together. Use anti-seize on all the threads. When the fuca's come. Take them apart and anti-seize the threads on them too.

The caster arms are the titanium alloy ones, not the billet. Rust at points where paint has worn through. And thank you sir! I have a bottle and gloves all ready to go.

Hate to break your bubble. They are not made from Ti. If they was. The price would be about one grand. Not $299. Ti does not rust. Why do think they use it for replacement parts in the human body.

This is from their website.
SPL Parts Camber Arms are constructed with 1.25" 4130 Chromoly tubing,

I have another bubble you can burst. It's on my left *** cheek

Getting back on point, Chromoly is steely steel. So it rusts.

These companies are slick with their marketing! The Titanium series only adds Ti hardware, as Rusty pointed out:

Blue Anodized Titanium hardware shaves even more unsprung weight from the arms, without compromising strength.
