Martinnfb Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks to Scott, I picked up the JetSeal from Chemical Guys. And , what a pleasant surprise . The product goes on nicely in thin layer, doesn't dry too fast (20minutes) so you have enough time to do the whole car and polish it. Thanks for the lead Scott, nice product indeed . Also I have the Barton shifter installed together with braided clutch line and Maaaan ! I can drive again, no anticipation of embarrassment . Shifts are predictable, I feel connected again , in the way that sports car should feel out of the factory. Probably the best mod. ever Absolutely addictive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 This made my day just now... Nose drooped when he stopped... A little torque when he launched. Not stiff at all, or dumped into the weeds like you see with most Car Guys lately. Looked really fun to drive. Lucky Bastard! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thats a real clean looking ride... I love the throw back to us old school guys, the slight rake on the back end and the American Racing Wheels 'Torque Thrusts"...... and NOT the 30 inch wheels with rubber bands for tires, those suck, this looks really clean and cool..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Yep, Bullitt Mustang with factory Bullitt wheels. Sexy! ‘67 Bullitt had the torque Thrust wheels. Ever since Ford reintroduced the Bullitt, they’ve been known as the Bullitt wheel. Glad to see someone that knows the real name for them! I saw an S550 Bullitt the other day. Man, that thing was sexy!!! EDIT: Love the window trims. Been thinking about getting a set for mine as well. One of my first mods was the 50th anniv. Tail lights with the chrome trim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Today I had a set of aluminium rear subframe bushings installed and I have to say, what a joy to drive this thing. Very responsive and cultivated ride the NVH rumours were unfound. Tail is not cushy like granpa's caddy anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Scott, I'm an old school guy at heart...... yeah those rear 1/4 window vents are cool, those look top drawer, a friend of mine has a 'Stang and put on aftermarket vents, but the cheap fake crappy kind that glue on the outside of the window really made the car look rather cheap.............. these ones on the car in the pic look just like the original OEM ones from '65 - 68....... I HOPE you are thinking of the kind in the pic and not the glue on ones..... and for my money, the painted Torque Thrusts always looked better than the polished ones..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hey guys, have any of you used the Autoglym Ultra High Definition Wax........link below.......before I go drop a few pounds I’d thought I’d seek advice....... https://www.autoglym.com/products/bodywork/wax/ultra-high-definition-wax 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some here, BUT make sure you get the sealer, I had mine professionally applied, my buddy has a detailing shop here in town and was a former Jaguar employee, and I went on his recommendation..... I thought IF it was good enough for Rolls Royce, and Jaguar, it might be 'just' good enough for my NEW Chevy................ I'm quite satisfied with the final results...... what do you think?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Well, as this IS a car thread.... and so far seems to be more of a Mustang show, I thought I'd spruce it up a touch and post this little ditty..... I watched it live last night...... 0-60 in under 3 seconds AND for under 60 G's......................... I'm not sure about the design just yet, but the tech is something else.... may I be so presumptuous to post this............ it's worth a watch.... https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/next-gen-corvette.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Jeff, Chevy looks the dogs dangles, I had a feeling someone had recommended before. Never seen the sealer, I’ll have a look on the autoglym website. The amazing thing is they are a UK company for a change.........thanks again..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries Phil, glad to be of some use...... although NOT an expert in German armor, I DO know something about car care, ( won multiple trophies with my Corvettes) , yes, Julian, did , full on recommended the sealer, it is a little bit time consuming to put on, wax first, let dry buff off, leave it an hour then repeat with the sealer..... what are you putting it on? Your Silver Cloud? , your XKE show car, XJS, Corniche?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Current Stingray has MRSP set on 65095 looners , plus dealership markup and "just because we can" charges and you're easily in 80 grand ballpark . https://www.chevrolet.ca/en/performance/corvette-stingray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than happy with what I have and I don't need the newest and bestest.................. so in my case, I'm good with what ever they charge, I probably won't be ordering one .................. very soon anyway......................... BUT yes you are right all the add on stuff, and in MY case I MUST pay the BC Provincial sales tax and it is 15% here because the car is over 50 k, so there is a LUXURY tax, of 15%.....................on ANY vehicle that is over 50k............... not many these days that aren't, so yes that will ad a few Looners to the bottom line..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Jeff, picking a new CX3 for the wife on Monday and haven’t had the diamond bright or similar coating applied. They wanted another £600 for it. So cheap stake that I am doing going to wax and seal it myself. May also do my MX5 RF (miata) to you guys as had it over a year and probably needs it to. Did have the the finish applied when new but not sure how long it lasts........ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
