  1. Hi Longz, Could you please PM (and / or post) a picture of these for me if possible. GTR Style Frp,Suede Leather +Plain Cloth $650 GTR Style carbon,Suede Leather +Plain Cloth $650.00 Also is it possible to do any of the brides in black leather / suede. Thanks mate Jeremy
  2. Correct....good spot...Excess filler around the base of the stem.....if you look carefully there is a huge gap between the two uprights (on both sides - basically around the light) as well that needs filling and sealing....issues that are currently being worked on. Bit like cosmetic surgery really...I should name my wing Jacksons nose !!!....(RIP). It was still work in progress at this stage....so just progress pictures really. Will put up completed pictures asap.
  3. Finally after a long wait and ages of tinkering around with getting it perfect.....we have the "son of a peach" in primer and ready to go........excitement overload !! and..... and........... and.......................... and..............................................
  4. Great stuff....your pretty handy with the camera ey !!
  5. Hahaaa...yeah Brodie....will work on that hurdle when I get to it....but it looks real nice so knowing me that will be my next project. Picture of how the spacers on the fronts look now........ Spent this evening down at the workshop getting the wing project moving...taking forever !! BUT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE................ Ensuring that it is well reinforced and that the light still works so after a few teething issues it is now well on track....
  6. Small update: Painted the spacers on the front the same colour as the hub to "disguise" them as far as possible. On another note....how hard is it to flare the lip / edge of the rear arch?? Something like this.....
  7. Shell arrived this arvo. Jap news anyone? Hahaa Going to get the chassis first and then work on painting the shell etc.
  8. and yes I know this was ages ago...
  9. BTW...what happened in the end.....did you end up doing anything?? (Entertaining read - gives you an insight into what is clearly such a diverse world of VERY interesting people)
  10. Wing fabrication is well on its way....stay tuned ! Latest project - creating an RC drift replica of Night Fury Shell is in the mail.....
  11. Had the new sway bars installed this morning. Rocked up first thing and parked amongst some interesting company...... Up up and away..... Wish I had one of these bad boys at home (hoist)....would make life SO much easier Out with the old.............. In with the new...... Back on solid ground and ready for a test run..... Verdict: Freaking awesome !! Massive difference !! Virtually no body roll and much tighter lines through twisties. Hard on the rear and medium on the fronts is the right combination in my opinion. Glad I went with medium on the front because I can feel the slightest bit of "stiffness / harder to turn in" compared to before. I reckon the hard setting would be too much.
  12. Picture I took the other day when I went for a drive C'mon and hurry up Wednesday !! Really very very interested to know how much difference the new sway bars are going to make.
  13. Yeah....wrapped a hard bit of metal with soft cloth and after heating the guards held the outsides with a fair bit of force and let loose with a fairly heavy hammer on the insides. We tried the left rear as one bit and boy was it a pain in the arse !! Halfway through we decided to cut sections and man did that help. The right was a breeze with this new technique and wrapped up nice and tight. A good job overall and definitely no scrubbing etc...even when it squats while launching Yeah had the guard roller but ended up not being used.
  14. Gave the rear guards some good old fashioned "hammering" this afternoon....works a treat if you grind little cuts strategically along the "metal lip" bit which basically allow it to bend backwards in sections rather than attacking the whole piece as one - (as Brad and I found out halfway through)....should not chew up the tyres now. There was a little bit of paint flaking from the undersides despite our best efforts with the heat gun. You could not really see it unless you squatted on all fours - but I am crazy....so a light sanding and rattle can spray job was done on the insides of the lip and the underside of the arch.
  15. If you want I have some for sale - 5mm, 7mm and 10mm (GKtech - black) and 7mm (slip on silver ones)
  16. Swaybars are arriving early next week - car booked in for Wednesday morning (YAY!!) Might be getting my guards rolled today (if all goes well) or possibly next week as well...so can get the rears out a bit more and possibly lower the car a tad.
  17. Yeah thats for sure Justin....I have read up a fair bit and for what I gather the stock fronts are 18mm so if you go a 24mm solid or 27mm hollow front they are more than sufficient and rears should be 20 solid at the very least to make any significant difference - though I have ordered 22mm solid anyways. No clue when they will get here though bummer
  18. Bored of waiting for the sway bar install and the wing is still work in progress so took the car out for a drive this evening.....few pictures That ass Kicking myself for not taking my camera...was such a nice evening !!
  19. Thanks for the heads up Dale.....btw - what are the disadvantages of going with a 20mm on the rears?? Is there a massive difference in performance etc. Will it even be noticeable? They have access to the fronts..waiting on the rears (want 22mm).
  20. Paid a deposit for the bars this morning....looking at a 3-4 week wait..bloody WA !!
  21. Getting some Whiteline swaybars next......24mm and 22mm front and rear respectively...adjustable. Thoughts / suggestions / anything I need to know?? Reliable sources tell me they are possibly the best bang for buck upgrade suspension wise.
  22. Once you go black you really do never go back..........
  23. Keeping with the stealth look under the hood I swapped pod filters this afternoon....... Engine bay still needs major sprucing up and is only quarter way done...with the rocker covers next on the list for a nice black refresh !!
