Charge carrier...oh charge carrier, where for art thou charge carrier? lol

Any updates dude?

 

[slyboogie]

call me fussy ollie, but don't you have some fan blades missing looking at that pic? Also, my next car is gonna be a mk4 xr3i so i'll send you some pics sometime?

For Antony, this post wasn't entirely useless I'm interested in a rocker cover when i get said convertable. I'll probably source one and send you it but not sure on what colour yet, as i haven't got the car yet, so hence i don't know what colour my car will be

EDIT: Actually Ollie, could meet up as i noticed your only in Sheppey anyway, fix that orion! lol!

 

[ollie240585]

slyboogie..........fan blades? Pic? Huh? What Pic? huh? Hey? Huh? Hey? Huh? Hey?

The Orions Taxed, tested, Insured and on the road. Will be taking it to BD engineering end of the month to get the metering unit adjusted correctly. It's also running a tad too much boost so need to adjust the actuator.

 

[Antony]

I have a spare rocker cover off of my Old 1.6 CVH engine If you change the rocker cover on a CVH though, you might as well replace that horrible cork gasket with a rubber one

 

[Antony]

i suppose i better put up some piccies of your charge carrier...lol


here you go...


at last....

 

[ollie240585]

Antony dude, that looks quality!!!!

 

[Antony]

told ya..lol.....

lets hope the pics do it justice...

 

[monkeyjim]

thats right, after a few experiments with my spare rocker cover, i have managed to replicate the Honda K20A Type R crackle red finish to a nissan rocker cover.

i can do you one for just £40 (post-in, paint and postage-out included)

i will clean (nitromors, wire brush etc) untill Gleaming and shiney (you could see your face in mine) will de-grease with de-natured alcohol, Prime with special Etch primer......cure in oven......then paint with a special blend of paint. 6 layers of this paint!! then cure it for 30 mins in an oven.

the finish is very durable, and very sexy.

i can machine the letters down to the "ally" to give a contrast and that "factory look" too.... just let me know.

waiting time would be 2 weeks... allowing for postage and curing times.



let me know and ill send you my Paypal and addy.
thanks

pics soon

Why not buy the black crackle paint as available for mgb dasboards and rocker covers as found on works prepared Rally MGB'S and Mini Coopers Of the 60's.

 

[Antony]

because you cant get it anymore. plus the stuff i have takes upto 700Deg.... and i bet you couldnt tell the difference...


ollie, can you send me your addy please and ill post it to you in the week!

 

[Antony]

did you get it yet ollie?

pics of it fitted then...lol

 

[ollie240585]

There you go fella.

Although now it's brought up how crappy the rocker cover looks!!! lol

 

[Antony]

and if anyone wants theirs doing too just ask.

could a moderator please take the price out of th thread title or change it to. engine painting service from £ 22

No, I have to get my hands on another rocker cover first. lol.

I was thinking the red finish with a nice new shiny "RS Turbo" badge

 

[Antony]

can be done.....

 

[ollie240585]

Something like this:

I'm heading down my lock up tomorrow to see if there's an RS Turbo rocker cover laying around. if not it's fleabay time. Also gives me a chance to help re-build the Series 1 RS Turbo!!!

 

[Antony]

yep, if i can find a badge, i could do a red crackle rocker cover and have that gold badge mounted to the left of the charge carrier.

woul be a little bit more obviously, du to me buying the badge, but not alot, maybe £5...or so.

let me know when matey and ill have it done in a jiffee...

 

[ollie240585]

Well the badge has a little imprint to go on the LH side of the rocker cover (side ways)

They're about £6 + postage on ebay, used that one as an example, there's others out there.

Hopefully i can find a rocker cover tomorrow

 

[Antony]

cool, cant wait to get me hands on one..lol

 

[irietuning]

Hi mate

What would you charge to to the rocker cover of a honda vtec?

 

[Antony]

rocker covers are £30 in crackle red. just like on the type-r covers. i can cut back the letters too so they stand out in silver...
usualy takes arround a week to complete...

 

[ollie240585]

Antony, I'm bidding for a rocker cover on ebay at the moment, will post it direct to you and send you some money too if I win it

 

[Antony]

guess you didnt win then...lol

 

[pap29]

hi what exactly do you get for £22 and can you do GREEN! ??

 

[Antony]

i can paint it green, the crackle finishes are in developement (means im tinckering..lol) and you get a painted rocker cover to your door, but you have to supply the origonal.

 

[pap29]

are the 1.3 and 1.0 cam heads the same?
so for £22 pound you will paint and deliver?

how far are you from northwood/ watford/ harrow area?
and how about shining up the NISSAN? cost?

 

[Antony]

the nissan bit is included, i do that anyway..lol

i live about....200 miles away.

UPDATE:::::

after playing at work with some paint combo's, i am now able to use "chamelian Flip" paint, Chrome paint, Metal flake (any colour), Flashback Gemini (a unique colour designed by me) any colour of metalic or solid colour, Pearlescent hues, Mica colours and Candy paint too.. (so if your after the nissan SR20 standard colour, i can match it)
(still unsure about coloured crackle appart from red of course)[/QUOTE]

Hi there just wondering how much it would cost to get my D16 rocker done in the honda crackle red, but with the lettering and the H cut back to silver and the badge bit behind the H done in black so stands out, i have included a picture of what the rocker cover looks like

 

[Antony]

that would be £35 due to the amount of work involved. but well worth every penny.


and guys i can find my sample pieces. ill have another look tomorrow when im not drunk..lol

 

[browner200]

Sounds like a fair price, how long would it take to do? How do i go about sending you the money, and where do i need to post the rocker to?Cheers

 

[Antony]

my e-mail is my paypal matey ([email protected])
and e-mail me, and ill give you my addy.

also. it should take a little under two weeks (to allow the paint to cure and harden) but should be faster.

 

[Antony]
