Not much happening in the way of installing as im waiting to buy wheel bearings, which are quite expensive. However some purchases from a long time ago finally arrived and boy are they good. 

Syms front bumper


Blacked out projectors with halos

Looks forking awesome imo


I also picked up Aarons old top feed rail kit however they dont fit a 3/4 mani like i assumed. They bolt up but everything is binding and cocked so would leak under pressure. The manufacturer does sell a 1/2 and 3/4 kit so clearly are different. No loss. Already sold them to a local RS guy. They did look good briefly but

Mate that front bar and those projectors look mean!

Surely that gave you a boner!!

Nothing major to report just a few bits and pieces arriving. Still waiting to order wheel bearings as life and stuff keeps getting in the way of cash and buying other parts lel. 

Managed to finally get a matching carbon vent to finish off the rest of my set

Not so matchy with flash but its close in natural light

Had my intake manifold done in Cadillac Grey. Hotboi af

 

and finally a S1 reo and projector fogs for the bumper. Quick hit of rattle can black and bolted on

[Lukeoly]

Intake looks amazing!
It’d be a shame to cover it up with leads, igniter and everything else

[El_Freddo]

Those carbon interior pieces look mint. I didn’t know you could get those!

Cheers

You could fry an egg on that manifold!

Yeah neat. I bet my left but there’s nothing like that for the L series. They didn’t even have inserts back then!! Very good marketing design to have the ability to change a hand full of parts that literally just clip in - many options to swap the look/feel of the interior on the cheap for manufacturing.

Mainly so they could fill interiors with crap woodgrain

Did a few more odd jobs this weekend. Finally got some fixed length lateral links


Reassembled the alternator


Pinched some air vent whoopy doos from a gen4 with an underseat amp thing to go around future audio equipment


Then pushed the car out for the first time in 4 months for a bath


After a good wash i plucked up the courage to pull the white side moulding from my sedan. Managed to get it off without ruining it and stuck it on. Probably need to redo it with some better tape as it pulls away in some spots over time

[Josh18]

Hey Babs is the sedan there the one in your signature block? If so what happened to it, it looked mint!
