    You don't need heat resistant paint on the rocker cover, it doesn't get that hot (although hot to touch).

    Again, its just the preperation thats important.

    Normal paint was used on the rocker covers on my R33 and also on the Evo with no problems.

    cheers

    I haven't done a lot to be honest due to xmas and my new puppy, but i've managed to get some bits back from the powdercoater, still a lot more to send to him...

    FUEL TANK



    FUEL TANK HEAT SHIELD





    REAR SUSPENSION BEAM





    REAR BRAKE CALIPERS

    ( just got to fit new seals and brembo decals, then a coat of laquer & braided lines ).





    FRONT H BRACE



    and loads more...

    Also removed the inlet manifold so it can be polished or powdercoated (not made my mind up yet), the exhaust manifold and turbo are also off - the nuts came off very easily ( I soaked them with WD40 for a few days ) which was nice. I'm going to uprate the exhaust manifold to a tubular manifold.







    I'm whipping the engine out as soon as the car's back on its wheels and the block and everything else will be painted.

    I'm taking all the suspension arms to the powdercoater next week and once they've been done i'll be fitting polybushes and new ball joints, drop links and ARB.

    The arms are being done silver just like the fuel tank heat shield, the hubs are red, the brake disc shield silver.

    The front engine mount beam and engine mount bush carriers are going to be silver too.

    The power steering pot is being chromed (cheaper option than a Spec-R one :blush

    There's lots to take to him....







    As soon as i get all the parts back from the powdercoater and all the nuts and bolts back from the platers then i'll start to re-assemble the rear end once i've painted the floor white - SOON !!!

    I'm DEFINATELY going to finish off painting the underside next week and make a start of re-fitting some of the parts as my garage looks like a parts store at the moment.

    I got some bits back from the chromers today ( I know chrome isn't everyones cup of tea ), seeing as i'm making the underside like new I thought i'd make every nut and bolt like new too, chrome is dead easy to keep clean, just give it a wipe over - plus its very hard wearing.

    So here's the parts i got back, he's got a load more nuts and bolts to do for me and a few more bits which i'll post up when i get back.

    I got the fuel filler pipe done so it will last forever now...







    Fuel filler pipe protective shield...







    Diff brackets...





    Diff hanger washers ( rubber still attached to other side )...



    Thermostat housing....and cam position sensor cover.



    Rad brackets....



    Exhaust rubber mounting bracket ( bolts to rear suspension beam )..



    ARB bush mounts and front intercooler pipe mounting bracket....



    Engine damper brackets...

    I love my car..... my wife and my daughter, not necessarily in that order !!!

    now i've got a 4wd car....

    All the bolts that hold the rear suspension and beams on, inc camber bolts / washers and nuts...











    selection of brackets that hold the brake pipes to car aswell as handbrake cable brackets and AYC line brackets....



    Speaking of AYC lines, I got the braided AYC lines from HEL Performance and will test fit them to the pump tomorrow, also the high pressure line for the power steering pump... great quality !!

    The power steering line had to utilise the existing fittings as they are specific to mitsi - they look brill.

    AYC lines...







    Power steering line...







    updates as I re-fit things....

    cheers

    At last i've managed to finish off the painting of the rear end, rear arches and the whole of the floor pan (well i've put 2 good coats on, just one more coat and a couple of coats of laquer to go ).

    I'm very pleased with the results, I can start to put things back together in a couple of weeks....

    FLOORPAN...











    REAR - fuel tank area





    SPARE WHEEL WELL....



    SUSPENSION MOUNTS.....





    AYC PUMP LOCATION.....





    AND OTHER SIDE...

    I decided to refit the fuel tank today and to see what the rear suspension beam looked like now its been powdercoated.

    The tank looks great, I had it powdercoated gloss black and the heat shields on the tank done gloss silver.

    I replaced the rubber hoses and fitted new pipe clips between the pum and sender unit, just got to replace the filler rubber hose and clips now.







    Also i fitted the newly chromed fuel filler pipe, just got to fit the rear suspension mounts so i can fit the fuel filler pipe guard which has also been chromed...









    I had the heat shield near the front of the car powder coated aswell...



    Rear suspension beam powder coated and fitted.... i had all the bolts chromed too...









    I also had EVERY bracket that holds the handbrake cables, brake and fuel lines chromed, as i wanted to pay attention to the details...



    Diff hanger washers....






    cheers

    Camber bolts and washers.....





    All suspension arm bolts were done aswell...



    So you can see the theme i'm working to, i've got to spray the diff next week and re-fit it, the diff hangers are away to be powdercoated.

    As soon as I get them back then i'll put in the polybushes and re-fit the diff.

    More updates soon....
