replica borla UEL extractors with stock cat and 2.5' cat back with a larger res into a hitech muffler with 4' tip which i think sounds lovely with no drone whatsoever

whiteline heavy duty adjustable endlinks rear
cusco front strut brace
replica b&m short shifter
tinted tailights/garnish, masked off the reverse/indicator lights so they stayed clear

custom number plates i always wanted; 2DESIR

debadged tailgate

phillips diamond vision low beams
white led's in all interior bits and number plate lights

thats about it as far as i can think

and the sad stuff, gearbox has started to whine under load and just in general now and making a wierd noise when i shift, with knocking on idle and dissapearing when i hit the clutch. currently no idea. but its nearly tax time so ill be sourcing a new one, possibly wrx box when i find out which fits in and a hd clutch

your motor did head gaskets and needs a new motor yer? she would no the difference.

[00libertyrx]

She knows everything lol. Ill do a conversion and just tell her it was cheap as chips haha i dont have much choice anyway 302000ks and the gearbox is ready to give up regardless it will eventually need a rebuild/swap and being 4months off my fulls gives me time to plan

pm me, i got a old box in the sheed you can have for cheap if you want it, got a blown viscouse but can make one good box out of this one and yours.

[00libertyrx]

Well water pump shit its pants on sunday, aand wont get fixed till august 10 sadly. But new pump timing belt, cam seals etc will all be getting done. Hopefully source a new gearbox thanks to the whine and occasional jump out of reverse. On the bright side may be purchasing some new rims, fix a few interior bits.

[bobbyjimmy]

Why spend the money on the original motor when you want to swap it anyways?

[00libertyrx]

Because ive still got 3months before my fulls and i dont have a car have to borrow and gets lifts to work

[Jordan]
