what products did you use? Did you wet sand?Fixed my driver side mirror cap. Got a good deal on these from a fellow member, but cheap UV gelcoat and the summer sun just didn't get along. Felt like it took mere hours to cloud over like this. Removed the bad stuff and put new clear coat down. It's a happy little carbon fiber mirror cover now.
Yep. Used a 220 grit to remove the old clear then sprayed with high gloss 2k clear coat from SprayMax. To finish I wet sanded up to 3000 followed by a cut and polish using Turtlewax. No particular reason for that brand, just what I had on hand.

Thanks! I'm not 100% sure what the figures are on E40 but on 93 octane the car made 443 whp and 521wtq with just a downpipe. The car ran a 10.3 second 60-130 on 93 octane stage 2 and currently runs consistent 8.2 second 60-130's on the E40 blend so I would assume it's probably making a substantial amount more power on the E40 blend. Probably in the 520whp range and 550wtq range. The car is tuned on MHD, E40 stage 2 and MHD's tunes are a bit more conservative than some of the other tunes but the drivability is fantastic.
WHAT THE FUCK
Oh, that makes way more sense. haha. I am an idiot.
AHAHA!! A 10.3 for this car would require meth, a pure800, and a ton of practice that I don't have, I've never been to a drag strip haha. That's what my tuner's car is running on his Pure800, meth, MHD E40 tuned Supra. Currently the best quarter mile I've ran was on the street in this cars current form, E40 tuned, on an old ass backroad that almost no one runs, using Dragy and it was an 11.7. My 60ft was 2.09 (LOL) and I let off early. I have never practiced doing quarter mile runs or launching a car to be completely honest so I have no idea what I'm doing. I did do some 0-60 practices afterwards and was able to snag a 3.9, a 3.88, and a 3.82, but didn't try doing any quarter mile runs afterwards, ohh and the tire pressure in my rear tires was 36psi at the time of this "practice" lol. I feel like this car could easily land a 10 second pass if I knew what the hell I was doing lol.
You gonna stay in that range or do you plan on getting an upgraded fuel system/pure800 or anything like that?
I will probably upgrade to methanol before long, tune for it and get the extra bit of power, then eventually a Pure800. The problem with going with the Pure800 is that eventually it will cause issues with the factory trans if you beat on it and you will need to have it built.
I don't think that's a problem
Upgrade the trans!
So far, so good. Running a low boost map right now while we tweak. Gonna dial it up soon, hopefully before it's too cold and I have to put it in storage.
