lol thanks guys.

John: the bumper is getting sprayed as we speak!!! but the new bumper isn't gona come on till this one gets out of control, ie diy canards and maybe a massive front lip.. will decide later down the track though lol

I have yet to install this, it looks a lil tricky and may need some help over the weekend. But will keep scratching my head for the meantime..

Time to dry!

Before

After!

The paint matches the car about 90%. It doesn't look right when you look up close because the clear coats are different to each other. Other than that im pretty happy about!

C-One Wing Tips: I managed to buy all the stuff required to do it all myself, i was quite excited!

Junk required:

Various grades of sandpaper

260

320

400

1000

(800 grit would have been ideal but my store ran out )

Power Plus primer (PJ0100 i think)

Power Plus paint (PJ5150, Lucifer Red)

scraping tool

cut and polish

screws

plasti bond

preperation began by sanding the old paint back to a rough surface, i used 260 grit, then gradually went finer each time, also using a few wet sands to smooth the surface more.

Both sides have been primed, now comes sanding AGAIN!

Time for top coat!

TWM cradle bushings: This was a very straight forward install, however i did manage to stab myself in the hand with a screw driver, and boy did it hurt!

Anyways..

New bolts and instructions

Old Vs New

Old ones and rubber and the new ones are allumium

Remove 4 old bolts and rubber washers. At this point i stabbed the webbing inbetween my fingers trying to push the rubber mounts out of the hole.

-TWM short shift kit, install went longer than expected but other than that, it was pretty straight forward with instructions.

Try 3m plastfil Duy, I used it on my front bumper for a while and hardens like cement. Should look good if it's not showing

Battle mode:

Damn u Trung! You beat me to the rotas!!! They look sweet on your ride! And nice work on winton :)

camber bolt?

Just did my first DECA day! It was better than i expected and had a blast! The day consisted of 5-6 events course, with 50 cars being split into 2 groups. First group did 2 road courses and the other group did skid pan with different maps. Theres a lot to learn in such little time, like memorizing the maps literally 5 minutes before its your turn! On one event, i drove the course 3 different times and failed to get a time cause it was wrong way haha! Will update pics and results when they come out.. You would be surprised at the variety of cars that came yestday, ranging from a ek civic sedan, ordinary commodore, chasers, 350z and 370z, wrx, and even a KE70 with LS1 in it! I'd recommend everyone give it a go before you hit track days!

Thanks Duy, unfortunately I'll be at the tampered day lol.

I'm running castrol edge 0-40 in my car for the final time. I'm clocking up some kms and will be changing to thicker oil, but haven't decided which one yet. Either castrol or penrite.. Shell is *****, and I can't afford liquid gold lol so those 2 are inbetween oils

UPDATE: After months of hunting around i've finally found a brand new bumper! WOOT WOOT!! AND i sourced a couple of panel beaters/ spray painters to paint my new bumper!! Although my stitches have grown on me lol

For those who don't know what im talking about, heres a sneak peak

Service over due 5000km ago lol.. Whats been done?

Always use protection!

Fumoto drain plug comes in handy and not getting your hands dirty!

Prevention is better than cure!

Also, i've bought some braided brake lines so they will be going in soon. A few more things need to be done before DECA/winton like changing power steering fluid, raidator flush and top up, installing braided lines, and new gear box oil. Ill do these one at a time as I can source my stuff at reasonable price :P

Hmmmmm i may be down for thIs.. Will keep u guys posted

PM me, i have a set aswell, very god nick, only travelled 60xxxkm

shocks and springs, PM me a price guys

Very unique indeed!
