Just got my car back from the body-shop today. These are the best pics I could get without light:  IMG_1113.JPG   928.64KB   22 downloads  IMG_1114.JPG   999.02KB   19 downloads  IMG_1123.JPG   992.33KB   12 downloads So thats a new front bar and new bonnet for my car. Overall I'm pretty happy with the result The front bar is much better than I expected. I know its not to everyones taste and even I doubted whether I'd like it or not, but having got it on the car now, I have to say, I prefer it to the regular bar. As for the bonnet - I feel dirty. I really do. Honest. But I love it, it just sets the car off and gives it a nice stance. So yeh - fairly stoked

Not sure. I'm aiming to buy a Legacy GT-B. Otherwise I may convert this one.

Either way, I got some time left on P-plates to decide....

Oh HEY DYLAN! I did it for you, I know how much you love it

Haha, jokes aside - the bonnet was my impulse buy of the year. Almost instantly I thought "oh shit, what have I done" but now that its on the car all freshly painted and shiny, I'm pretty stoked, I think it looks tops with that front bar More pressure to convert this f**ker now though....

story of my life.. oh seats i buy them.. driving home.. why did i do that :|
actually i do that with everything for the car lol

very nice shiv looks bloody awesome, im looking for a scoop hood myself, but i am 100% on doing a conversion so it WILL be used, my car is in mint condish, i could not settle for any less, and i like the leather =D

as for the exhaust, im running 2.25in, 1resi and a Lukey oval muff with 3.5in tip and its a lil loud/drony in cold/wet weather on the hwy, but on a nice sunny day i dont hear it unless i boot it and it has a nice deep growl i have contemplated going for a 2nd resi but i cant make my mind up.. 2nd res or do i just go for a Varex... decisions decisions.

liked the stock headunit also mate.. i think it actually has a good sound and easy to use, but i got sick of the light turning off and having to touch my fist to the damn thing every night.

what happened to your old rims? soon im going to need a spare that will fit over 294mm rotors and i dont thing the stock spare will fit so would be interested if you end up selling them and cant flog them off as a set.

think i will have to throw up a story line of my car too soon... seems to be the happening thing around here and im bored being out of a job again lol. be prepared for a shitload of headgasket photo's people lol

[Shiv]

Yeh that H/U seriously is the best ever, hahaha.... Which rims were you interested in? I have a set of the original Bilstein Ed rims for sale. I might have a spare 17" B4 rim for sale in coming weeks.

[Shiv]

Hey guys, all is going well with the car Heres a better picture of the rims on my car. Well one of them anyway....

And the second picture is of the JDM-spec corner bulb which is now wired up in conjunction with the indicator. Works well as a 'courtesy light' when I unlock my car as my indicators are programmed to stay on for about 15-seconds on UNLOCK.




I've also got LED dome and reading lights now. And also LED park lights (finally). More pics tomorrow!


Also - new head unit:





New head unit is great! Finally my good speakers can be used to their potential. Its all wired up with the microphone for bluetooth....now I need a phone which actually has bluetooth, haha!
