cheers guys!! its certainly changed over the years

Car is looking great man. Love how far its come.

What strut brace is that? Looks nice.

its the rallyroad strut bar http://rallyroad.net/content/rally-r...trut-tower-bar

its similar to the oem motorsport bar, which i wanted but theyre few and far between and tend to be silly dollars. the rallyroad one is pricey but so nice

not done a great deal to the car lately, cruise control is working nicely, been using it every day to and from work

yesterday i did an oil change, and finally changed the power steering line setup, forgot to take pics though!! just took out the pointless loop that goes along the steering rack, and went straight to the rack with a banjo fitting.

also installed the rad shroud, which i need to add some holes and clips along the front, due to the shitty aftermarket nose panel not fitting nicely

finishes off the engine bay though, just needs some more cleaning and new plastics oneday



doing some work to my headlights when other things turn up, but ive 3d printed some adapters to replace the stock twisty plugs with deutsch connectors. the stock plugs are breaking at the wires, and collect moisture rather easily, causing some corrosion.



driving this thing everyday im already picking up stone chips and such, but its such a blast to drive.

this will be probably the last picture/update for a while, as in a bit over a weeks time i'll be moving upto queensland, so will be spending time focussing on settling in at a new town/job/everything.

i'll be loading the car up with the essentials and driving up, and i'll truck all my other stuff up once ive sorted a house of my own.

not much new happening lately, mostly just maintenance, been working on some headlight mods, some new carbon bits but my big project has been a refresh on the bbs rf

fronts stayed the same bar swapping out to gold bolts, and rears ive upsized to 18x11. i may change the fronts to a 2.5" lip next year depending on how fitment is with the felony fenders. main thing is i dont want to rub, seeing i cant just unbolt them and swap out

rears ive decided on 295/30r18 tyres, fronts im torn between 235/40 and 245/40. i want as little stretch as possible, but i want to keep the profile height as close to the rears as possible(without going taller rears)

anyway, couple pics





and since i cant find my wheel spanner(i still have heaps of boxes in the garage unpacked from the move), i 3d printed one

Why only bubble lips in the back?

Why only bubble lips in the back?

17s front(how they were already) and 18s in the back for shits n giggles. i may swap to 2.5" lips in the front next year. if i do ill try and go bubble aswell if possible. or if i dont like the double stagger ill just upsize them to 18s also

[cblock406]

Looks great man!

[Benwalsh91]

holy shit! as mentioned, that rear fitment!!!

[hakhawk]

some better dslr photos, with some editing by a mate

[hakhawk]

been a while since an update. new plates only took me 2 years after moving interstate!!

bumped the front wheel lips from 2" to 2.75" bubbles to match the rears, craig from whitehorse knocked it out of the park again!

undecided if i lower the rear a bit, the rake looks good but i still think it needs a bit more low
