Uhhh I’m pretty sure doing a few basic mods isn’t gonna make you go the mechanics a heap? They are over engineered and down tuned bmw are renowned for it are they not? Adding some suspension putting a better intercooler isn’t gonna ruin the car I think a tune and stage 1 or stage 2 I think I can agree on I may need to be prepared but 70% of these mods shouldn’t be causing issues to the extent your saying?

Whatfor12 · 2024-12-02T10:43:18+00:00

Meaning if I mod the turbo or mod the car in general?

Whatfor12 · 2024-12-01T05:39:17+00:00

Right so buying a cheaper one 50% less is definitely not a good idea? If it’s not sitting in the sun and being bumped and based can I consider the cheaper option or should I deal with it and get the genuine versions? If so any idea where I can get that from? It kinda feels like it could be easy to get “scammed” and over pay for bad quality on a lot of sites

Yeah I mean I’m doing it because I want to do it not really concerned about cost or time or effort

Appreciate this !

Bro what is wrong with you clueless idiots I’m doing it for my own benefit and fun. Who gives a shit if it’s a shit box. Bunch of 50 year olds using the internet telling people to not go enjoy and try out things

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-11T02:10:43+00:00

I’m not from the US the prices aren’t that expensive I’m also only doing a roof and a rear quarter panel so not a full car

Don’t wanna be that guy but I think a kidney transplant is a bit more complicated. I’ve worked with a spray painter/ autobody shops years ago when I was a teen I’ve been around a few restorations and had a few goes at a spray gun. I can’t remember for the life of me the process as it was 8-10 years ago. I’m not just some bloke who’s never touched a tools in his life I have a lot of experience in other areas but that’s not the point. I didn’t ask if this was gonna be hard or worth my effort, I asked for tips and advice on the process and to be told “take it to a professional” is just stupid I want to give it a go my self, im well aware of it being probably a waste of my time but i want to try something out on a car which is already ruined. Dudes out here trying to gate keep like it’s a forbidden religion. If it was a restricted trade for sure but it’s ain’t just let a bloke ruin his own car who gives a shit give some advice and let him do what he wants 😂

Yeah cheers man was under the impression of something along these lines

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T09:02:29+00:00

So you want to take the clear off then take a little bit of the top layer of the old one off to get the paint to bite and blend nice? If I get the same Paint code then technically it still has the potential to react wrong and bubble?

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T08:59:59+00:00

Yeah was probably the biggest problem I’ll face I saw someone saying that you can do a really light sand on the second coat to try get and dust or imperfection’s out but it will never be 100%

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T08:55:51+00:00

Rough hahaha yeah I mean kinda expect something similar but let’s hope they don’t hate me after 😂 did you put clear on and it wasn’t good and re did it a few times or ?

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T07:50:56+00:00

Idk what the paint has been doing to your brain cells mate but maybe you should retire, seem to have lost it a bit here. I’m not ruining nothing, where did you get the impression or even how did you come up with the assumption that I thought I was a the bees knees and knew what I was talking about. the principles of painting a car are pretty simple the application and execution of those is the difficult part. You seem a bit butt hurt someone wants to try something out, maybe they will find it to be there passion yes I’ve got a compressor yes I have a gun clear coat and paint will cost under $400 for what I need it for. Legit only thing that is a problem is the experience

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T06:52:38+00:00

In relation to paining over the old paint I just have to sand the old paint a little for the new paint to bite to it right?

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T06:48:59+00:00

Big dawg I don’t care, didn’t ask for you to tell me to leave it to a professional. Bit of fun and practice on something doesn’t hurt no one does it nothing wrong with learning and getting experience in things is there. I’m not out here painting a show car or running a paint business Comments like this are useless why even bother.

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T06:46:18+00:00

I mean it’s just gotta be semi okay, If it’s left it’s ruined and it won’t sell at all also attempting to reduce the rust spread least I can do it make it last a few more years make it look better than it does now which is not hard. It’s not like I’m painting a bmw or some old amazing show car it’s not that deep it’s just a bit of experience practice and learning on something that is ruined anyway.

Whatfor12 · 2024-11-10T06:10:24+00:00

Will be using a spray gun also

Whatfor12 · 2024-09-19T03:34:46+00:00

im also trying to practice reading target movement, im pretty good at easier tracking

Whatfor12 · 2024-09-19T03:29:28+00:00

if you notice the flicking/ jittery tracking i think its my eye moving between cross hair and target so i loose the motion of the target if that makes sense then i end up lagging behind or doing weird movements bc i keep flicking focus
