Pretty sure I see a smudge on the drivers side window. 

I was just about to remark about that too.

 

 

You're loosing your touch, old man!!

[CRUISN]

Pfffft, smudge as if, cloud/sun/interior reflection.

 

Never lose the touch.

STi Genome strut brace with the ends painted satin black and a clean engine bay.

Pic with board in racks please?
I don't understand how your board sits...

 

Only use the racks for the longboard otherwise shortboards always go in in the back with the 60 split down.

 

Pics....

That engine bay is super tidy and the colour coded ends of the strut brace look great and do u sand blast off the old paint and then spray the stain on top? Looking to do the same thing on my pink ends: )

[Shiv]

Very neat work with the brace there.

Yes, sandblast, etch prime and then paint. The oem gold mounts just looked out of place in my engine bay.

Mark other than looking awesome does the strut bar improve anything?

[Liberty]

The purpose of a strut brace is to reinforce and add rigidity to the chassis. Some people notice more than others. I have one installed and my car does feel more 'solid'. Rear strut braces are perhaps the best ones to get though after reading comments from people on the forum.

No. Purely bling factor.

Good morning Mark.

 

I've noticed the strut top covers that you have (that were similar to my old ones), and after chatting to some of the lads, they all say you're the go-to man.

 

Got any left?

 

 

I'm sorry to contaminate your epic thread with my request, but I did try to search the forums, but this old n00b struggles in his later years.

I need some for my new project

Your thinking of sway bars Strut braces don't do much

Hey Alex, 

 

looking good in the new avatar. 

 

I got them out of the US for approx $12 a set in a group buy a while back. I'll have to get some stuff soon if you want me to chuck them in an order. 

 

Only thing is once some US shipping is added and local postage you'd be looking at around $25.

Headlight surgery......

 

swapped lenses over between the AUDM and JDM headlights. AUDM ones are very clean whereas the JDM ones have some slight discolouration to the lens and crazing.

 

Also removed the orange indicator lens but need some silver bulbs now.

 

[Tim.]

The JDM ones will craze because of the HIDs. The only solution is the keep polishing them regularly. That's what I found anyway.

I can see you re-fitting the orange indicator lenses down the track to return it to stock!
