something strange.

You have the Oil Catch Tank return on the front of the intake manifolds.

in my engine (european 3zz-fe) the same valve is located on the rear of the manifolds, near the throttlebody.

I think different continent different engine :blink:

im actually having problems with my hoses at the moment, they seem to be collapsing from i think a combination of heat and oil vapour, i cant really see why this should be happening because they are the highest quality industial double layered silicone.

i think by popular demand the mesh inserts will have to be black.............. allso on the side skirts i wont be useing the standard grill with backing plate, rather bar mesh and the backing plate

bit of a rush to get the bar on and make the reinforcment bar yesterday morning, but its on.... still needs fine tuning to get the lines matched up 100%

i think i couldnt of taken a worse picture if i tried, ill get better ones soon

the reinforcement bar looks good, but is that engineer approved as you were suggesting earlier? looks as though you have only 2 bolts holding the bar in place... does the original only use 2 as well? if the engineer and insurance companies have no problem with this then ill definately look into getting one made for my car. looks better and possibly stronger than stock??

sorry to say but the first pic of the frontbar unpainted looks cooler than after its been painted?! stands out more if it was flat black.. almost carbon fibre looking lol! but yea im sure the car with the newly painted front bar looks better if you took a pic during the day. well done overall!

i havent had it engeinered, im sure it would pass.....its more for my peace of mind than any thing, it has 2 front nuts and 2 top bolts holding it in so 4 all up, the whole reason for making the bar was because i couldnt fit the bar with out hitting that section where the bottom bolts are

yeah its a bad picture, ill get some better ones up when i can. i allso think the front end looks a bit plain now needs some thing, maybe eyelids or a badge of some kind on the grill, but im not a fan of eyelids

Looking awesome! Is that with the black mesh? It looks silver, or is it from the flash of your camera?

DO the black headlight mod. That would tie it together perfectly with the black mesh.

Otherwise that front bar looks real good.

i cant seem to take any good photos from the back, car always seems out of proportion from that angle, if any one has any tips for me much appreciated.

Mate that front bar looks so damn good :toast:

Exterior wise the only things I could think of that could set off the car would be:

-black headlights

-smoked tail lights

-factory style rear spoiler.

Otherwise mmmmmm :spiteful:

Btw don't think it needs those foggies you were planning. Just mesh it up.

Posted

bar looks pretty good ;) nice paint job i must say.. but hrm.. it mite just be me but now the front looks like a lancer :S

Posted

nice mate.....some time soon im going to rip my front bar off and pull out all the grille parts up top and down in lower air dam.....and just put black mesh as far back as possible...want it to look like a big wide mouth black hole lol

Posted

front bar looks heaps good!! does it sit flush? great job either way, any plans for a rear bar aswell?

nice location for phtos too

Posted

Well done! Yeah like Andy suggested, the rear could do with a factory style spoiler. :)

Maybe even put the factory tail lights back on, or black altezzas.

Posted

looking good mate and i agree you should do the black headlight mod and revert back to stock taillights. but im interested in how the custom foglights go

also check out maximas's rolla thread

yeah thats a good mod to do if you want to keep your original bar, just make sure if you do it go all out and cut the top tabs off and plastic weld the bottom grill insert holes in, looks alot better that way

nice location for phtos too

if you want some thing done you have to do it your self :D , yeah she sits great, will sit even better once i get time to do a proper fit up, as it was only a quick fit up before i had to go to work that day, as for the rear bar it will be very similer to TRDYUS's rear bar, one piece moulded plastic

Well done! Yeah like Andy suggested, the rear could do with a factory style spoiler. :)

yeah the factory rear lghts will be going back on this weekend, as for a spoiler im ordering a rear toyota sunguard for the back........

looking good mate and i agree you should do the black headlight mod and revert back to stock taillights. but im interested in how the custom foglights go

also check out maximas's rolla thread

yeah the foglights i wanted to make up were going to be similer style to the golf gti, but i have a number of problems now

1.number plate gets in the way on one side

2. my cold air ducting i will be making up takes up a lot of room on the other side

ill try and figure some thing out, thx for the replys boys

i dont know ey.. but i think i seen a lancer with a full kit (similar front bar as tht).. i mean im never a fan of the normal lancer so i kinda "dislike" it but maybe its the same styled bodykit.. but yeh.. dont get me wrong.. it looks nice ;) unique nonetheless..

you mean the bar looks like an aftermarket lancer type bar....ok i see what u mean.

fitted my rear sunguard today think it looks good, though it looks more like a wing due to it being tinted......fail.

also fitted my original taillights back in which i think is a massive improvment over the alteza's, also tried to do the jdm taillight mod but ended in epic fail...... due to dodgy soldering, will try again another day, to add to it i lost one of the taillight nuts in the nether reaches that is the rear hatch trim.

now for some pics
