I have some, even got them painted at the same time that I did the car!

Just undecided if I should put them on... I really like how it looks now, nice and simple

Doooo eeeeeet ;)

On the weekend, I flushed and bled the brake fluid with motul rbf600, and I also changed the oil, so I undid the oil cooler lines so I could get as much of the old stuff out as possible, given that the cooler, lines, for the filter relocation added about 3/4 of a litre of oil to the system, which means that without doing the above, an oil change of more of an oil dilution, than a full change haha.

Also removed, cleaned, and refitted the coupler that goes from my compressor cover to the piping as it kept blowing off the last time I was at Manfeild, due to a little oil spill the day before, creeping inside it and allowing it to slip off under boost. Hopefully thats the last time that happens.
wak thud gush!

Flushed out oil cooler then moved on to removing old sealant from the windage tray. Used Wurth Sealant Remover. Worked a treat! Managed to get a tiny bit on a cut on a finger... provided a nice pleasant stinging feeling lol.

Bigend shells out tomorrow!

Lapped the valves in the head, and checked them with bearing blue. Didn't wear gloves and went a bit overboard with the bearing blue, so it looked like i'd been lurking in alley ways giving smurfs $20 handjobs..

I gave a friend a lesson on the life of cars. First I tried to leave a carpark and shamefully got beached :oops: Had to get a lift off! Then I tried to flatten a speed hump after I didn't see it till the last minute.

I'm sure she thinks i'm mad driving a car like that :lol:

Yesterday/day before visited the smash repair place. Can't even tell it's had a truck to the side.
Today filled up the rental Veloster with E10. Doesn't drive any different but $48 from fuel light makes me happy.

Nice widebody! Means you get the 260k speedo too :P Loving the wheels on your black one, at a guess they look like SSR Professors and not Meisters??

Today I put some Penrite LSD additive in to try and shut the Cusco LSD up a bit. Is an improvement but still a noisy thing! May pull it out at some point and change the clutch plates so it's not so aggressive.

Yip was stoked when I seen that! Wheels are SSR SP1's, would love a set of Miesters though...

Might tidy up the black one will all the good bits on the red one, then use the red one for racing???
