If anyone is bored this coming Saturday I'll be by my mum's doing the head gasket on this thing

Oh no's, it needs a head gasket?

[Earl]

Crisis may be averted. Pcv system might be the culprit

Atleast show the people pics from Rio bash my guy

[Earl]

I'm lazy haha

Somehow never posted this shot from my first drift day at the end of August

And here are the Rio Bash shots

The car held up really well and I'm super happy with how it performs for now. The big thing I want to change this winter is that the springs are too soft and allow for way too much body roll. As you can see, it rolls over enough at times where the sideskirts actually touch the ground. I just need to determine what springs I need to change to and then send the coilovers in to be revalved. I really just can't wait for more seat time next year

[Jdesign]

It looks really good. What coilovers do you have again? BC's?

[Earl]

Yessir BC's

Hit those rust spots with some red while your swapping coils!

[Earl]

Nah. Covering rust with paint has always looked worse to me than embracing the rust. With how much paint fade and clear coat peel this car has, it definitely fits the aesthetic

[Jdesign]

To each their own. From the pics it stands out like a monkey threw some poo at your wheel arches in disgust at your wheel fitment 

[Earl]

But in person the paint doesn't look anything like it does in the pics. Just paint over rust looks super half ass to me haha

[Jdesign]

It is half assed. but its better than the poo until a proper fix is made. But thats also just my opinion too. 

[Earl]

This chassis is too far gone to ever see a proper fix unfortunately lol
