flicked the ETACS switch under the passengers seat, and there they are, those sweet sweet chimes I remember so well :)

Hehe. Been a while since Ive heard that too...lol

I have friendly hoists :) No exhaust bending/welding equipment though.

Oooooh, thats good to know, I'd probably just piece it together from pre-made bends, and Ive got plenty of welding gear :). We whall have to talk at the mid feb meet.

Later model pillar vents, tails and 3 piece are on the way. Not sure if I'll fit the 3 piece, but the price was right!

Let me know if you don't fit the 3 piece and you want to part with it...

Dude, jump on the UK starion forums and find someone breaking a wide body, was £46 to ship one over, and about the same to actually buy it, makes for a cheap 3 piece with the exchange rates like they are.

Not to bad... Although I have a GT wing on the car at the moment and warming to it.
Although I have late model everything else on the car.

I think I need to come have a nosey at your car.

Thanks to the Firebrand / FST4RD dynamic duo I've got a proper radiator overflow bottle now, cheers! Popped it through the dishwasher this arvo and will make up a 'rag on a stick' to clean out the inside this evening :)

Been doing a few other jobs. Put a nice steering wheel on I aquired from a friend, have to find a mitsy horn button for it though. Got 2 sets of tail lights from spinners and have taken them apart. Should be able to make one completely mint set out of the two, and one average set (which i will probably put a dark tint on for extra lolzzz). Man prying out all that old glue and cleaning the residue off is a chore though!

Still havent fixed the fuel gauge... Tomorrows job? Hopefully.

don't know if this is common knowledge, but an easy way to clean out the inside of a radiator overflow bottle is to put detergent and rice in it and shake well :)

Have never head that before, but i like the sound of it! Will give it a go for sure.

Great tip Thrash!

I use detergent & gravel!

Cleaning up starion tail lights...


What the other half doesnt know, wont hurt me.


Semigloss black for the surrounds, and polished/cleaned all the lenses. I'm going to have a play with painting the reflectors a really glossy black and see if they reflect enough light, as the lights look really cool with the black insides and the lenses on, would really suit the black car... But if they dont give out enough light, then its pretty pointless.


New fuel filter. Surprisingly, the listing at work was both corrent, in stock, and not stupidly priced! Wonders will never cease.

Lol I use the dish washer for cleaning vintage rc parts hahaha
