To be fair; after the polish, I just find so many imperfections

Thats why i hate washing my car. When i clean it it shows up all the damage lol
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
That's always the problem with cleaning older cars! Im exactly the same lol, just get frustrated by all the dings and scratches that it accentuates!
As for the engine bay, I've been jetwashing bays for years without causing any problems so far lol, don't even bother covering anything.
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - ginge191 - 08-07-2014
Small update - insurance renewal came through, hadn't removed the previous named driver, saved myself £150 on annual policy!
Going to try and get another wash and wax on this before pugfest, fingers crossed the weather backs off a bit.
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - Eeyore - 08-07-2014

After an amazing weekend at pugfest, with a round trip of just under 300 miles, the '6 was absolutely faultless! very impressed with the combined mpg also. Think i've averaged about 30mpg including the track blasts!
Also picked up my gear linkages (cheers grant xxxxx) and fit them today, fairly simple job once the battery box etc was out the way, makes life hell of a lot easier!
After seeing a few charged '6s at pugfest, the idea of TC'ing has become ever more tempting... it's whether to really go for it instead of tapping around the idea

Nah I've seen photos of him before and i think he's related to Chris because he has a tiny penis. Doubt it will put a smile on Steves face at all!
Car looked good this weekend mate. Just a shame about that blowing exhaust lol

Meh, excuse for an upgrade
Say what you want guys, Rolf told me it was perfect
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - ginge191 - 12-03-2015
Havnt updated in a while so thought I'd throw something in!
Car has a fresh MOT: passed first time.
Fitted new track rods and track rod ends; sorting the tracking this weekend
Fitted OE splitter as for some reason it was removed when I bought the car
Got an e-tech upper strut brace fitted
Decat onto standard exhaust fitted and a new set of baker bm gear linkages.
Apart from that; it's rubbing true and sweet. Pulls and sounds awesome.
Fitting new droplinks this weekend, will get some pictures then
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - Grant - 12-03-2015
Awesome stuff mate. Will this be making an appearance, alongside its owner, at the shows this year?

Most definitely mate
FCS and pugfest for sure.
Got tracking done today and the car now drives at '60mph' with no wobbling at all!
With the decat, popping and banging is just delightful at the moment
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - ginge191 - 25-03-2015
Not boring with pictures but stubborn drop links got changed and found out that my O/S CV boot is split. Again...
why the hell has this boot only lasted 9 months?! annoying. so ordered new boot and change that next week in between working on a 2.8 Pajero also
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - Niall - 25-03-2015
How low is the front of it mate? No obscure noises coming from that CV?

Nope. it's standard height all round. And no unusual noise; only noise i get is cornering HARD on N/S, which is likely a bearing from the faint groan i here with a window down and music off.
The actual boot is splitting on the folds. It's split in two places on the boot itself...
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - ginge191 - 18-04-2015
Car received a meguiars treatment today with a tar treatment also, removing a lot of imperfections and bringing the paint up somewhat, followed by rainx treatment on the windows.
Excuse the huge photos and feel free to comment/criticise the buffing, first few times polishing the car by hand.

It's by no way perfect, and frustrates me the amount of stone chips the front receives, but can't be helped I guess.
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - Dum-Dum - 18-04-2015
Needs crystalls, I have a set if your interested but you might need a twin optic stalk if you don't already have one.

It's a phase 2 and will stay a phase 2 unfortunately ; everyone fits crystal headlights and fogs, not many people have a standard phase 2
RE: Ginge's Diablo '6 - Toms306 - 18-04-2015
Yes...those faded grey rub strips and frosted lights look so much better than phase 3...can't imagine why people usually change them.
The paintwork doesn't look bad tbf though!
