Oh, could've sworn it was an sti, oh well, wrx wagon is still okay.
And the day you turbo ANYTHING dustin will be amazing. You're too scared of turbo and think it's hard. |
That, and no $$ = no turbo! :)
|
you can rebuild in your sleep now cant you dustin ;)
|
are you worried about leaving it primer for a long time? If its just straight primer it can absorb a bunch of moisture which is bad...
|
^see thats what i thought.
From what i understand, the primer does a really good job of sticking to the metal on the car, but doesnt fair well against the elements, thats what the second coat of paint is for... |
i waz told buy the guy i got this primer off, that it will protect the metal aslong is it is not allpied to rusted metal, to i am led to blelive it will be fine
|
Neat.
|
No. Primer is fine against the elements like dustin said as long as it's not applied to rust. Then again anything applied to rust is no good.
|
My car is all done in primer (temporarily), besides, when you paint most of that primer will be wet sanded back off. To go over bare metal you just need to use a self etching primer then your sealer/high build primer before paint....
|
hey the rebuild sounds like its doing great, i might have to ask you for advice when i rebuild mine :)
|
And no, not all primer is fine against the elements.
Some may be fine, i am not sure, but i know there is alot of it used that is only waterproof for 24 (maybe it was 48) hours after it's dried. After that it can absorb moisture like said above. |
How long did it take before it idled by itself and start easy? I have about 10 miles and it barely start itself after like 5 minutes of starting and doesn't idle yet. Didn't realize i needed to put awhole lot of miles on it since its not a daily driver.
