More modern red? Gm still use flame red iirc. Why not just red do it flame red?

Are you making the loom your self?

Rick Draper · 13-10-2008, 19:54

Mine is Carmine red...

I am making the loom myself from scratch. Will mean that fault finding will be easier too

Contemplating running the main loom through the wings BUT worried about salt etc and do I really need to!?

Oh is it? Thought it was flame.
And can be good and cant be a cont, if theres a prob, but running it thru sealed each end rubber water pipe is a good way to look after it..

flatout · 13-10-2008, 20:26

i still think it should be battleship grey

lee303 · 13-10-2008, 20:26

Shouldnt ever cost any different. Its all made up with the same stuff in the same pait room.

TT is more green (can be a arse to colour match) and noooooooooooooo dont go grey.

Shand · 13-10-2008, 22:58

Awsome car!!!!!!!!!

what i was thinking, its the brands and specials that bump up the price, mettalics and pearls cost more than flat paint and the likes of house of kolor are just silly prices.

if i want something special i just start chucking different colours in a pot and experiment, the paint for my wheels is going to be a severe one off, in the sense ill never achieve the same colour again

Carneyste · 14-10-2008, 01:02

do it vxr red. a bloke in my street has just aquired a spanking new VXR8 in red and its so bright i pretty much need to put sun glasses on to look at it. that colour would look cool as **** on the nova. on the other hand tho, you should also have a random burnt square somewhere on it aswel to remind you of the fire rats lol

**spanishfly** · 14-10-2008, 08:12

Prefer to forget the rats now TBH.
Its going red again, not into the grey tbh Other red I was looking at is Audi Rosso Red like the S3's... although I think most 'Rosso Red's' are about the same!

So today wiring loom duties started, happy to say I done the front loom for things in the engine bay, not bothering hiding the wires as thats' bufty'. You can see the wires in the motorsport spec braiding...

Mostly white wires in this loom

Notice the number 4 (we'll get to that in a mo) Also notice the heat shrink over the connectors to keep away moisture.

All joints, soldered and heat shrinked.

0=Earth on my loom, I have a nice Wiring diagram on an envelope

Fitting alloy rack mounts

(I need a haircut

)

While I did the wiring, Flatout ripped stickers off.

We both agree although the stickers looked great on track, I prefer the look without stickers!

Going to send this to Haynes to make me a 'Spanishfly' Nova work manual

lee303 · 14-10-2008, 14:53

your hair still looks pretty short to me

you do need to lose some weight though

loom looks nice, see you up there later i guess?
