Looks so Damn good.

Happy to see it out of the car hold.

[Matt]

Cheers! Yeah so am i..was good to get a good drive in lately

Even had a moment past a hwy patrol where i threw it into 6th in idled past lol

Gold wheels looking absolutely mint on that car. Do what ever you want to the brembos but don't change those wheels. Wow.

[Matt]

Yeah the gold comes up great on the dark paintwork

I think ill just black out the brembos eventually and see what it looks like before deciding on the rims

As if i keep them gold they need a tidy up and respray as theyve been around the traps and have a fair few scratches

I agree Niko, they work very well on this car.

Yep, Brembo's in black with the gold rims.

 

Gold decals?...... actually, nah, too much.

Plain black.

[Matt]

Yep either satin black with matte black decals...or matte/flat black with gloss decals

Or just black with no decals at all...stealth mode engage!

[RX25SE]

Matte would be harder to clean than satin or gloss.

 

If it were me, I'd go gloss black. I know satin would match the exhaust better, but it may dull a bit with time.

I'd maybe add matte decals later if I was't sure.

 

All black would be soooooooo stealth.

You know they are Brembos, does anyone else need to know?

[Matt]

Thats it ....will muck around with them after HVC as for the moment it all just works and i dont wanna fork with it lol

[Matt]

Rear damper extenders ...came to be a fairly simple and tidy install once i trimmed about 2 inches off them

[GNGBNG]

What coil overs are they?

[Matt]

What coil overs are they?

BC BR's.....pretty happy with them for the $500 i paid...only have an easy 10k on them

May step up to a more track oriented coilover one day...but these suit my needs atm

I have to clean up and put my hks coilovers up for sale asap though...getting over moving them to get to stuff lol








Also

Tweeters finally installed.....after listening to just the woofers for the past few days im so glad theyre in lol....splits sounds like youre underwater without both speakers being driven haha

For a $150 setup...speakers and head unit it sounds pretty damn good!




Clear side indicators next

[Matt]

Clear indicators are now off the list!

Changes the car so much with such a simple yet time consuming change

Will probably give it a go again in a few months as you can see the sealant under the perspex...will attack it a different way

But ya only see it if you know its there....and im a tiny bit ocd so it bugs me lol




and the money shot..albeit a bit out of focus.... (soft focus )



I hate to talk myself up..but fork im so happy with how the old girl is coming along......its blown away my expectations by a long shot

Anyways time for beer!

[Morgan]

Clear indicators is a small yet effective mod. Well done. Always a fan

Thanks Morgz...wish it was as easy as the later models to do them though lol

[CRUISN]

Came out tops. Fluro light diffuser for the lens?

[Matt]

Came out tops. Fluro light diffuser for the lens?

Yep...and a lot of time shaping it at work on the bench grinder so it sorta clips in

But yeah a bit too much sealant went under the lens so ill peel it all off some time later and try again...but as said its not that noticeable

[RX25SE]

fork im so happy with how the old girl is coming along......

You should be, it's fkn good!

[Matt]

Haha thanks Jas! Best is yet to come

[GNGBNG]

The clear indicators do look good.
I'm thinking of getting the BC BR coilovers. From what I have read they seem to be a good coilovers for the price.
