paint
No because their Alloy. Plastic primer is generally a clear substance that sort of melts the surfface so that a normal pre paint primer bonds to the plastic. I've seen some beautiful cam belt cover and throttle cover paint jobs that just start to flake off after a while because the paint can't bond to the plastic.

If your going to paint your rocker covers (Camcovers) then make sure that you get every bit of crap, grease etc off them first. Then you really need a good hi temp etch primer first to stop it lifting and stop Alloy oxidising. Then normal car body paint and Laqure will be OK. Throttle cover will need a plastci primer to stop the paint flaking. Read the instructions on the plastic primer, because quite a few need you to apply your base coat to the plastic primer before its fully dry. Other need it to be dry.

anyone converted the rear speakers..
I have Alpine 6x9 3way speekers in the doors, but the Lanzar 7x5 sway are far superior sound, clarity and volume and only about £15 more. I've got some Lanzar coposite speekers and tweeters for the doors so I'll be selling my Alpine 6x9 3 ways.

Could this be the cause of my problems?
I agree with what Paul say here. Only one of my recirc valves was Goose Honking and a pair of Apexi dump valves were cheeper than a single Nissan Recirc. Didn't realise I could get aftermarket recircs at about the same price as the Apexi's or I would have.

Who's the bond for you?
I thought Lazenby was the best. Then Brosnan was quite good. He was believable as a wheels within wheels type spy. I found Roger Moore painful and Dalton Just seemed like he was on stage playing live theatre. The early Connery films where fantastic in their day and very classy. At the moment though I like the new film as it has a more gritty realisum. I really feel he that Daniel Craig is the Bond of today, but cut become the best of them all. Till then George Lazenby for me

Mitch at AMZ is a nice bloke and I've had a good few grands worth of stuff of him, but his Body kits are very pricey. I ask http://www.whifbiz.co.uk if they can get it for you. Or ask Migel at http://www.neweraimports.com if he can get the kit. I think it would be cheaper as you will not be having to pay for shipping to the states and then to the UK.

Need Urgent Help!!!!! Overheating
The garage puts a rad cap blank on and then attaches a gauge to the overflow/ expansion pipe and mesures to see if your system is being presurised. If it ain't that one less thing to worry about. Sorry to be a pessimist, but if it is that its better to know as it gives you options to hide it and sell or fix it.

Need Urgent Help!!!!! Overheating
I'm not deffinately saying it is. However the reason I said this is because, this is exactly how mine started. Also three people i personally have known who have had head gasket failure has started like this. The other tell tale sign can be heater Matrix failure. Then having replaced the water return hoses from each head (the short rubbe pipes or matrix) full head gasket failure has occured within a couple of thousand miles. What I'm saying is get it tested now. You need to be able to do a presure test on your system to eliminate it as a problem. If it is presurising it gives you time to either sell it or bite the bullet and have the work done. If it is a real small split it may just let gasses pass under combustion. This presurises the system. It will leave an oilly film in the water but won't turn the oil into mayo. The presure builds up then will find the weakest point of the system. ie brittle hoses that should be replace every 60K or 5 years same as the cam belt, but seem so often not to be. Or a corroded and on its last legs Heater Matrix. Any half decent proper old style garage can presure test your system. I assume, but someone like Duffers could clarify. that if the Rad cap regulates at 7 psi that the water system shouldn't exeed 7 psi.

Need Urgent Help!!!!! Overheating
Normal running temp should be 84 degrees so if your car is running at 70 C then it either has a Nismo type racing thermostat or it is sticking open. This can quite easily hit 95 C after a serious bit of kaning, but it should fall back to 84 C quite quickly. So you may have a air lock, but you have to ask why? Don't want to upset you, but this has the ring of a head gasket failure. Check for traces of oil in your water. If no oil then the next thing to check is the Rad cap. These rad caps are a presure regulator and should allow water to flow out to your expansion tank at 7psi which means your coolant system shouldn't presurise to the degree your saying. I'd change your rad cap for what its worth and I really hope it is just the Hoses, thernostat or rad cap.

Captured Sailors
The government has to deal hard and fast with Iran to stop it becoming bolder. If we have evidence that they are paying locals to kill our boys then we should make a serious show of strength and sink every Naval vessel they have. That way the inocent general public don't suffer and it will teach them not to fuk with us.
