Just a small update on the powdercoat thing. I recently tested the neon valve cover (coated white, first try looks pretty decent). I poured some high mileage oil (~5K miles) on it and let it sit for about 36-40 hours and then proceded to spray it down with super tech engine degreaser to see if the coat would stain. It did stain it (lightly) but I am certain that a little more work and it would clean up. I also sprayed the same type of degreaser in a spot and let it sit for the same length of time. It did not peel the paint or cause it to bubble, although it did however take some of the glossiness out of it. Remember, this piece was sitting on the floor and sat at room temperature for the whole time and was not rinsed off until the test was completed. In my opinion the powdercoating held up fairly well and would definately dress up some engine bays. I am still in the learning/practicing stage so if anyone wants me to try out some parts I can. I would like to stay with steel parts for now as I have not yet tested aluminum. I am also going to be testing some "odd" parts off my protege to see if I can do a few more specialty type objects. Pics to come soon...


Oh and I also smacked the valve cover with a wrench to see how bad it would chip. The only part that came off was the small spot that was actually struck, not an area like regular paint would. I also scracthed the valve cover lightly (hard enough to scrape paint off) to see what the effects were. I was very pleased as you can see the scratches but they did not actually remove the powder coat paint. If anyone is interested in some small test pieces being done PM me and we can figure something out.

I think it would be sweet. Now I just need to think of some stuff to powdercoat.

 

my harness has s5 tii injector plugs spliced into it, so it wouldn't work unless you put other injector plugs on it.

 

Did you remove the resistor pack then?

 

my clutch is making some weird *** screeching noises when it first starts up and when you push the clutch in im thinking throw out bearing or pilot bearing any input would be greatly appreciated oh clutch still engages fine but smokes after awhile peace out

 

Ian, wazzup! Steve, wazzup!

 

I just got a line on autocross in waterloo, http://www.iowaregionscca.org/ is the website..
I think i might get my money outta my 240 by beating it to death this weekend instead of selling it

 

Update on my 87 TII.....unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to get the title. The car was sold as a "No Title" auction, now I'm trying to figure out if I should sell as a whole or part it out. I don't want to part it out as I don't have the time. I'll sell the car as a whole for $1,500.

 

Hey if you wanna come up anyways ill make sure i go, i jsut tryin make 240 idle before i go up haha

heres the link right to the event sorry http://www.iowaregionscca.org/calend...uid=2417070730

 

what up binary rotary do i know u
aron price for car seems a little high i got a 88 with near perfect leather interior body was about the same as the one u have and this one ran perfect and i got it for 1600 with a clean title just my opinion but if someone would buy it for that more power to you

 

Well, name a price. I've never sold a TII, not sure what they sell for. Are you still interested in the car? There is a chance that the title can still be gotten (but not by me) You would have to contact the previous owner, and have him get a replacement title, and either you or him would have to pay for the previous registration fees. I didn't really want to deal with the hassle.

 

Holy crap, I thought you died lol. I was actually right by your house a few weeks ago but was seriously pressed for time or I would have swung by and said hey. Cal me up sometime (sun-tues are best).

 

the way it sits i wouldnt pay more than 5-600 for it if thats something you could do then i would think about it but i dont know what you got into it
