Re-Spray
Hey everyone back from a little bit of a hietas. I have entered importfest which for those who dont know is an auto-show in Toronto which will be going from 11am to 12pm or later on October 22nd. I am thinking of painting my car jet black and getting some other minor touch-ups done. I am wondering if any you guys around waterloo or toronto can reccomend a good paint shop? Also i think i need a new crank my oil pressure after the car warms up, is sitting exactly at 2. Is it not suppose to be at 3.5 when the car is idling and warmed up?

It depends on the oil viscosity, temperature, etc. I've seen mine be anywhere from 0.5 bar to 5 bar at idle given various combinations of conditions. However assuming a "normal" viscosity (10-40 or thereabouts) and a hot engine I'd say 2.5 bar at idle is nothing to lose sleep over. Some oil experts can chime in here.

It depends how much you want to spend. Mitek is at the top of the list and Maaco at the other end. Where do you want to be? Middle of the road, I have had pretty good luck with Royal Autobody.

I thought you had a pretty unique color with a unique body kit...why would you want to mess with that??
Then not doing the engine bay.....etc...
Unless you are going to tie in your original paint scheme with the black.....cool racing stripes......

Impera Body and Paint Shop on Kennedy RD south of Ellismere Rd in Scarborough.
He repaired my 99 outback after an accident .... looks just like new!! I have sent a few friends there and they are amazed at the paint work. He does everything from Ferraris on down ... owners name is Richard.

That sounds like a good option. R.B Had a point i am not willing to pay for a top dollar paint job, yet i dont want it to be shiesty as well. Also i want to get rid of my ugly front splitter, it is a flimsy peice of fiberclass and replace it with another one. So i would be getting the front replaced and getting a paintjob.
