Thanks man, it's coming along, slowly but surely

[Liberty]

That's how it is. I've got a few more things before I can say I'm 100% happy. After that it'll just be normal maintenance and servicing as savings for a house take priority.

So ummmm yeah.... I'm going to have to get those headlights off your car... could you look over there, away from your car, for about an hour?

Guy on club.liberty does them.

YUP, HKS180 dude or something, was going to get him to do mine, but my headlights are already hazy, might as well, just steal these ones

Haha you're welcome to the old ones, they are hazy to a new level haha. I'm so happy with them. I would get yours done for sure man. Even if you just go all black housings. The main reason I replaced them rather then getting the old ones done was that mine were actually badly damaged and taking in water. The haz can be fixed. Mine were done by Leo (HKS180) for reference.

Yup, thats the dude. Spoke to him when I first got my B4 years ago about Daytime driving lights. Didn't end up doing them, but keen to see if he can get some halos made up for the outback. White outback, so black housing may not be the way.

 

Still, if you look away from your car on the HVC, BAM! Headlights will be mine. Lol!

 

Haze ain't fun.

That's the guy! Been to his place before. His garage is full of light bulbs and LEDs.

June 2016: Dropped past Peter CorgiWerx to grab come gearbox goodies.

 

- Shifter Bushes

- Lever Bushes

- Short Shift adapter

 

 

 

 

Redline Goods should also be arriving also. HardwareBoB and I did a group buy and said that his handbrake boot is for LHD which is annoying and hoping mine is RHD, if it is wrong its an error on their side so at at least it’ll get sorted.

Gave you a toot on the highway last night. Car looks good

June 2016: So the Redline Goods arrived and it was not all good news. Everything looked great but the handbrake boot was LHD.

 

While I wait to see how that gets sorted out I was excited to get the other two items on. I decided to go with Black Nappa leather with Red JDM stitching.

 

The old stuff has certainly seen better days.

 

 

Much to my surprise, is the difference in size is huge!

 

 

After a bit of a struggle, glue and A LOT of cloth pegs it can together.

 

 

 

The armrest was a quick affair, no removing of the old material, just a cover that slips over. I will be replacing the actual armrest at some point as its actually dented in a bit but it will do for now.

 

Armrest before / after

 

 

 

Shifter before / after

I like the idea of how it looks but the sizing is all wrong. The Velcro part that secures to the top of the shifter is not even close to tight enough. That coupled with the leather being to long it means that when I change gears it will slowly creep up and then get in the way of the reverse selector. Both Matt and I have contacted Redline goods regarding the issue and awaiting a reply. I have never heard a bad thing about them so hopefully it all gets sorted out.

Ahaha yes cheers I remember thinking to myself... Mmmm nice gen 2 there!

 

It was a rare chance of my car actually being clean ahaha.

Leather can be shrunk, if it's proper leather.

[Liberty]

Nice updates.

Sweet vids.

[applegeek897]

More exhaust videos becuase why not.

 

Got the rev limit for the LC raised by Matt on the most recent tune to about 6K for some nice noise. Can't dump lanuch it anyway so may as well have some noise rather then being limited to 4K.
