Hehe - it does look slightly familiar! (thinking one JDMST meet I went to as I was in Melb that weekend) Good work so far :D Speaking of meets, whilst Reece gets his 30+ car one organised you should come to our May meet :) 22nd, still working out details of where to go/what to do, need you Melbournites to name some good places!

Does look clean in the pictures but the paint isn't too shabby in person, its fading :(

Anyways little update! got my intake pipe and 3a racing pod in and damn it stucks the air. Bad thing is my exhaust is a tad loud and can't really hear it from inside and my engine looks no longer stock from the popo :(

You can see the diy cold air feed pipe in the last picture, I'll be cutting up a more longer one so it can fit inside my pod.

Also did a full detail on her today, clay/polish/wax and damn shes looking much better :D

Update!

Got some rda slotted rotors fitted thanks to trung. Have got some issues with the rears with them though may think its just my pads which I'll be replacing soon with qfm's. Bought a Broadway mirror, been wanting one of these for awhile, dont know why!

and lastly, got some new nuts! thanks to reece.

I've assume that i have alignment issues with my rear, according to reece, could be my toe is way out. It has munched both my rears, pretty much bald! Got the car booked in on wednesday for new rear tyres (ku31) and wheel alignment, hopefully this will fix the problem with my rears chewing up. Also my car is due for a major service, I've found a mechanic that knows blacktops very well so can't wait for that too :yahoo: One step closer to tracking it!

kenshin: LOL not yet!

dorifto: sure did, gave them a polish cause they weren't looking as great. Think I'll be spraying them again sometime soon and for sure! Hopefully car will be ready

Been awhile since ive last updated but a few things has happen to the rolla. Got the front lip on though does need a bit of modding and swaped my bonnet with trungs so im rolling all red now B). Got a fair bit of parts off him, tom's steering wheel (feels so much better, more like a go kart now!) and some interior parts.

I've ordered something from overseas, won't get here till late October but you guys will find out when i receive it :D
