  • planning on taking off my valve cover to paint it and turning it in to something like this...



    question, when putting it back on do i need to change over the gasket as well? and is it as easy as just unbolting it, taking it off to paint it etc then bolting it back on...?

    cheers

      It should have a re-usable gasket on it, so in that case, yes it'll be as easy as taking it off, painting it and putting it back on

            only thing to be done now is the wooden rack which is being done tonight - car still needs a good cut and polish for GAD.

                          and yeah you probably did i was down at hawk and hunter grabbing a coffee ~12-2pm?


                          will be getting the camber shims on and taking a dremel to the inside of the rear guards to stop the rubbing and get this baby sitting where it should! (low-er)
                          also chasing some 215/40/18s for the rears! hook a brother up!

                          and rubbing on the swaybar is stopping me from going lower up front - should i be removing it, getting extended drop links or just undo it for the time being...?

                          cheers guys
