You know it's race week when...
Always feel bad draining oil that looks that good but previous used oil testing with Komatsu told us that four sprint events was the point where we started to see moisture from E85 in this Penrite 10 Tenths so out it goes and in comes a fresh fill and filterπ
Just need that weather forecast to play ball π€

I feel like I've been living under a rock, I had no idea about spray on ceramic coatings like this π€―
I applied this in like 15 minutes a month or something ago was it? I can't get over how smooth the car feels when you're washing and drying it or how easy it is to clean after it's gone unwashed for a few weeks and it's absolutely filthy.
The wife's car is getting some paint and panel work done shortly and I'm going to test it on hers after that because the clear on it is just ridiculously soft and hard to clean (VW) then I reckon I'm going to buy another bottle and do the 86 π
Between this, the rubber remover, and that bloody awesome microfiber towel thing I feel like I've discovered fire π
What are the awesome new car washing tech is out there now that's gonna save me even more time?

Today on weird s**t I buy π
"3d scanning spray" it makes shiny surfaces matte to make scanning easier π€·ββοΈ
Apparently this stuff vanishes on its own, we're gonna test that π€

OK so it looks like we're back to the drawing board after the seller of a car we'd agreed to buy has pulled the pin and is now keeping it π
So, if you know of/have a decently setup S15 please PM me.
Roller or going is fine, the one we had lined up was a full runner, sequential etc, just looking at what options exist to save me time and work before fully committing to longer S13 path.
Random pics for the algorithm.

Holy moly, this thing is RAD!
This is straight on the car, no spray (coming), no markers, just free handing it with basically no experience π€―
Yesterday, I scanned 2 halves of a banana and put them back together (excuse lines I was recording the screen with my phone)π
Full disclosure, I have read basically nothing about how to use the Rockit, just fired it up and started pressing buttons like an animal π
Also how do I stop FB killing the vid quality, annoying lol

Talk about levelling up π€―
Absolutely stoked to have this wicked little wireless Einstar Rockit 3d scanner on extended loan for a bit of testing and collective learning thanks to SHINING 3D and my guy Matty at The Nugget Project.
First impressions? Quality kit in terms of presentation and feel, can't say more than that until I get it all installed though.
I'm very interested to see how the 3yr old Dell Precision 7680 handles it. I think it's above min spec, but I've read really mixed things about how much grunt you actually need to make these things work smoothly π€
What can an amateur really do with something like this? Let's find out π€

Picked up this "little" 7680 in preparation for some nerd s**t, thanks marketplace π€
I swear this thing weighs like 4kg π
What's going on then π€π€π€
