Posts: 91Washed 10 years worth of grime off the inner wheel wells on the SS wheels to get them ready for retirement – so clean!Also, fitted the passenger glovebox, carpeted footwell kick panel & door trim. Just waiting on delivery of the passenger tunnel suede piece. So subtle but so nice.- This reply was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by Richard.

Posts: 91New wheels! Nothing super special but VE International with double whitewalls came out mint IMO!Also, drivers door handle popped out of alignment under the door trim so whilst fixing that I installed my suede bits including new door trim! Just need to sort out the courtesy light..- This reply was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by Richard.

Posts: 91So, a week out from getting the car all sorted I had an epic breakdown… Which I managed to limp to the mechanic thinking it was a coilpack….. But no, it wasn’t..Notice something missing?Yep, broken valve Spring & valve somewhere smashed into the piston… Seized engine!So Hayden from HC Mechanical is hooking me up with a low k’s Eco and sorting out the rest of my list of things to do…In the mean time I gave the rest of the exhaust a hit with the wire brush & a coat of high heat paint… Really happy with the result…August 29, 2015 at 1:17 pm #8818

Posts: 91Sooooo things have been a little quiet lately on the car front, which has meant nothing has broken… YetBut I finally sourced the last piece of my exhaust! Now just need to pull my finger out & fit it upJune 27, 2015 at 12:41 am #7812

Posts: 91Decided to bite the bullet & install a ton of stuff I’d be accumulating in my garage which included:– boot struts– new hvac– leather shifter & handbrake– leather console– Stato pop open drink holder.Was concerned about doing the shifter but I made sure I took my time & organised things carefully so all went well.This picture makes me happy, as I’ve always sucked at doing stuff like this myself but my confidence is growing – next thing to learn, soldering & maybe simple wiring?May 11, 2015 at 7:23 pm #6705

Posts: 91Got my modified corner box & sub back from Greg @ ASR… Man is an absolute genius whilst being the nicest guy & a great source of information.Anyways – corner sub was worth the wait!Here’s some build shots, basically extra depth had to be added due to my type R 15′ having any extra deep magnet – once he sorted that he re-glassed & carpeted the box… Magic!Final product all carpeted below!Also, finally picked up my extractors!May 3, 2015 at 10:13 pm #6205

Posts: 91I’m a sparky so i drive all over adelaide but mainly the eastern suburbs. O guess my point is what do you NEED the footage for? Sure there are plenty of poor drivers but no need/use to film them? I was wondering if popr rich gets hit and run alot or something?
More do to protect myself in the case of someone doing something dumb & trying blame me for it…
Another step towards moving towards 3rd party fire & theft insurance,

So managed to score some L67 twin cats which were in good nick but I thought I’d hit them with the wire wheel & give them a coat of exhaust paint – obviously once they are on the car I’ll never see them again but I’m thinking to do it once & go it properly!April 19, 2015 at 1:15 pm #5055
