Nice work mark, loving it. How did you go about removing the amber in headlights?

[BH5isalive]

crispy clean

[Sven Smergberd]

Going against the grain here in saying that I actually don't mind the bit of orange in the headlights, with those bullet indicators. Looks nice with your mod though.

 

Have you had a look at those optional grilles in the brochures you posted? Any on Yahoo?

[CRUISN]

Cheers guys.

You have to remove the headlight lens to get to it. I was swapping my lenses over from my AUDM set anyway.

I have already purchased one for more of a "see what it looks like". Dont like the optional mesh one much nor the other option color coded so picked up a black one.

 

Im more than happy with the original one, but its better to try than just wonder if something would look better.

 

[Sven Smergberd]

Awesome.

 

No doubt going for satin on that gloss?

 

Will have to stick the Etune badge on it as well.

[CRUISN]

Fit as is to see if like the style more than original. If alright then i'll put a satin clear over it. If not, then Im sure I'll have no trouble selling it for what it cost me.

[Sven Smergberd]

Haha yeah. I like the honeycomb original, but the optional grille would be a good addition, definitely add to the individuality of the vehicle for when you sell it. But agree, a lot of potential buyers if it doesn't suit.

If you don't like the new grille I may be interested Headlights look tits.

[CRUISN]

Interest noted. Cheers.

Only just noticed this morning that the parkers are actually 21/5W lamps and are  21W cornering lights when indicator is on. Nice

 

Soooo...... I got some OZ Ultraleggera's in 18 x 8 +45 matte black with 235/40/18 collect tomorrow. Really want to finish off the Porsche Big Blacks (probably not orange though) for the fronts, STi Brembo rears, as I think its the last Subaru I may own..... OZ rims are just for clearance for now. Really want ADVAN RS / RSII in 18 x 8.

 

 

Had some young guy tell me how sick my roof racks looked yesterday. Looked at me blankly when I told him I actually use them weekly, not just for show...... Got a new summer board yesterday. Ready for a well earned RDO dawn patrol tomorrow to put it through its paces.

 

 

Happy times.

You will always be an idol to car enthusiasts that meet you Mark. Dat tool board though!

 

It's good to see that cars aren't the only thing you're a perfectionist in.

[CRUISN]

Haha, I just got sick of putting tools down and then looking for them again thinking "where the fork did I put that". Easier to locate when its organised.

[Liberty]

Damn straight. It happens way to often. Either that, or you coincidentally lose them amongst other tools that seem to look the same size.

sweet looking board. you riding that bad boy as a single or getting critical off the top?

My 9'4" has got major stress marks on the bottom as I like to surf it like a shortboard off the top.

 

Its a 7'6" minimal but shaped like a full mal albeit shorter with a sliding box and side biter set up. Ive put my smaller California Customs centre fin in it to see how it goes tomorrow for first surf. Then I'll chop and change set ups. 

[patttyfox]

Got a colour in mind for the Brembos?

[CRUISN]

Nope.

 

Maybe just boring old red/white like the 4/2 pots atm. 

[patttyfox]

I guess if you change your mind can always just repaint

Those cornering lamps are so awesome!
