迫力鉗噴漆 Brake Caliper Painting (DIY)

 **English version at the bottom of the page**

今日係 OBD2 project 一大突破. Depress 左成個月解決唔到既問題終於有啲眉目. 其實呢一大突破只係暫時搵到一個新方向. 希望之後會好順利.

為左係depress 其間冇咁depress, 我決定玩左一玩噴鉗.

今次實驗又係另一樣想試下到底噴完之後可以玩到幾耐. 下圖就係幾日前岩岩噴完既效果. 暫時未見有即時啡番既現象. 睇落我自己就覺得唔錯啦. 

噴鉗就好簡單, 買噴漆, 拆左個轆出黎之後再搵野包住個迫力碟再噴就搞點.

但所需時間就要長啲啦, (因為要等一等佢乾). 我就用左3個鐘頭左右先裝番個轆. 

等多一年左右, 再上載相睇睇一年後既效果. 

待續...........

----------------------------------------

Finally manage to get a breakthrough in OBD2 project. Over the month I am at a state of depress, almost reaching the limit, and finally manage to get a new direction to proceed. Hope it is gonna to be smooth for the rest of the steps.

During the depression period, I decide to paint the brake caliper to relax a bit. 

This will be another experiment to find out how long can the coloring last after spraying to a different colour. (image below) It is the effect of painting after a few days. (It looks pretty great to me in my opinion)

Simply take out the wheel, cover up the brake disc, and spray the caliper. That's all you need to do. 

But it is the time to let it dry that eats your time. I waited for around 3 hours and install the wheel back.

Let's wait for another year to see how it will look like.

Pirelli 輪胎 - Cinturato P7 (p7c)

**English version below**

作為 F1 賽車sponsor 既 Pirelli , 俾大家既感覺都係跑車呔feel. 其實佢其中一個系列, Cinturato 係偏向行較靜及舒適既方向. 

作為一個打手.... Sorry係用家先岩, 點都要試下有好耐歷史既Cintuarto

 (感謝 Pirelli 香港總代理可以俾我試一下使用 pirelli p7c 既感覺)

安裝尺寸: 225/50 R17

安裝型號: Pirelli p7c

安裝汽車型號: Toyota Estima 

(尾呔用緊 215/55 R17 Dunlop Sport Maxx 050+, 呢個遲啲再講.)

部車原裝尺寸係用緊 215/55 R17. 但我將佢轉為 225/50 R17. 放置於前行駛. 

1) 舒適: 如果用開, 或者有用到一排高性能呔, 用p7c係feel 到個行車舒適感覺. 

2) 聲音: 睇每個人既感覺. 屋企人就覺得對呔行駛時係靜的. 我自己就唔係太感覺到, 因為我行車好鐘意聽music / radio, 

3) 濕地: 由新呔直到現在, 濕地行駛冇問題. 雨天時行駛感覺到渣既實在感. 唔係飛下飛下. 而直到現時都冇客有complaint 呢條呔

4) 耐用度: 至於耐用度.... 會唔會太耐用左少少? 估計都仲有排先可以用完呢對 p7c. 

------------------------------

The feeling that some of the ppl have in Pirelli is , sporty and high performance running tyre. Actually, Cintuarto is one of the Pirelli categories that focus on comfort and silent ride.

I got to try out everything right? 

(Thanks to Pirelli HK Sole Agent for these two p7c tires experience)

Installation Size: 225/50 R17

Tyre model: Pirelli p7c

Vehicle: Toyota Estima 

(The rear is using 215/55 R17 Dunlop Sport Maxx 050+, which will be commented in the future. It's also another very nice performing tyre.)

The original size for the car is 215/55 R17 but I change it to 225/50 R17 and placed it in front.

1) Comfort: After driving high performance tyre for some time, it is easy to feel the comfort of the tyre that it gives to the driver and passenger. 

2) Sound: Due to different people sensitivity, I couldn't comment much on the tyre sound but my family members comment that it is definitely quieter than before.

3) Raining Experience: Even up till now, the tyres have no problem during (heavy) rainy season. 

4) Wear:  I dun feel like commenting about the long mileage that p7c has. The usage of p7c seems to be longer than expected. It looks like it will take some time to wear off these tyres.
