Hahaa........how could you tell

Thanks to Wes and Brendo........................... I NOW HAVE A BUCKET SEAT

Not a lot has happenend........................ Had a squeaky clutch pedal......................two sprays of WD40 and that was nipped in the bud. Went down to Barbs this morning with the lads.........lovely sunny day and some nice rides. Doing some touch up paintwork this arvo......window wipers getting a touch up and the rear bar corner. In other news.............I might be getting a bucket seat soon.............................

@landscribble.....come to think of it now James (10 4) did mention you ages ago in one of our random car related chats.....and yeah I often drop and pick my sister from uni so that would explain it. Update: Work roster is hectic (lots of people on leave at the same time - slackers!!) and coupled by the fact that I am saving for the rims now car stuff has been put on the back burner sadly. Did however pick these up yesterday (enough of struggling with miniscule rachets)......and plan to spend a couple of hours on my days off scrubbing my current rims till they are squeaky clean !!

I love this pic........................... !!! Anyways.............update of whats planned in the near future. > Repaint the front lip > Clean the insides of the other 3 rims > Keep saving for work meisters

Got given this tee for my birthday and just could not resist

Best birthday present ever...............hahahaa

Dirty wheel After a couple of hours of hard work and a tonne of elbow grease

another hour just then and its starting to look real good..........................................

While the wheel was off I decided to clean it...............................yep....great idea (not) Presenting 16 years of brake dust and road grime.................... Spent the best part of half and hour and they look a tad more presentable............still have a looooooooooong way to go :\

happy birthday to me..happy birthday to me Started the front calipers this morning........................

^^^ like ur plates

FAAARKK!!! awesome signature..................I just restarted my computer !! LOL (sooooo embarrassed) hahahaa

So finished off the sticker this morning....... and then drove down to Ian Diffen land to check nitrogen pressures (because race car - lol) and "hung out" with her

Spent about 40k (plus/minus) including buying it (14k)...but that is including EVERYTHING...I have an excel sheet where my latest entry for example is a $4.99 paintbrush that I am using to touch up the tiny spots right near the brake pads that I cant get to with the spray can. Currently working on getting this laminated...... It will go on the inside of the fuel flap thingo under the Jap monster decal...(pics to come) Also....rain expected for the next few days so the front calipers will be done mid next week....stay tuned

....Yeah they look awesome now - cant believe I didn't do this earlier !! Cannot wait to do the fronts...the back calipers are tiny compared to them so I am expecting the fronts to look a lot sexier... Also cant wait to buy some bright red to do the lettering...hoping it will look something like this (HAHAHAAA)

Happy with and very proud of the right rear....much easier to do and a lot quicker now that I have "experience"........Have to start taking pics with my camera...phone pics are terrible (but you get the idea)

Started the right rear this morning.................gotta love nice sunny days Progress pics...... Windy day so I am paranoid about overspray..heheheee Currently drying..will post finished pics soon.

It did...but I decided that the factory off white looks too boring...so once I finish all four I am going to hand paint the NISSAN bit on each a bright fluro red. Gloss black caliper and drum with bright red writing...should look nice I daresay.

Brake caliper painting day............................. Had to get the subwoofer and carpeting out to take out the jack... Started with the back left.....(wheel nuts were bloody stubborn on the front - so will have to get a longer breaker bar or some WD40 tmrw) Took off the wheel Gave the brakes a good clean with brake and rotor cleaner Covered and patched up everything Before pics Yo man (with a thick Jamaican accent)... Designer stud covers !! Patched up and ready Remembered to rub some vaseline on the NISSAN bit...hope it works Came up quite good I thought..... Also before I forget...special thanks to Jonno for coming to help and for bringing tools...............your awesome man

^^^ thank you Saving up happening as we speak

Thanks Daniel This is what the car is running at the moment.......we did pull 352.9 Hp (road) after running more timing etc..but its too dangerous with a stock head gasket and internals....and I dont really want to break anything for the sake of being a dyno queen and a few different digits..the power curve is nice and linear...and I like the way she comes on now...so yeah

Well I am open to suggestions etc...this is still a "finding my feet" stage....BUT I dont like the stretched look....I prefer tyres that are nice and chunky....and tyres that run a sidewall right up to the edge of the rim..if you know what I mean.... So I want rims that run flush up to the guards...but do not stick out (must be fairly legal)....and tyres that are nice and chunky and do not rub....so yeah basically biggest rims that would allow for this ^^^^ is what I am after. NOTHING BEFORE mid July though......birthday boy

Wont that require a lot of guard work?? I am not a fan of the stretched look....so want tyres that sit flush basically...right up to the ends of the rims if you know what I mean...also what about rubbing on full lock??

thinking of getting work meisters sp1 3pc wheels.....want to run 18 x 8.5 +29 fronts...and 18 x 9.5 +24 rear....is that ok for the rear??? other option is +37 THANK YOU
