ok to update this thread. the car has had a major service with dan at ERD, running beautifully now and sitting over 100,000kms

mods done:- Duel-stage boost controller

Blow off valve

Wing removed and car de-badged

Reper33: thanks for the comments, glad u like the car however i am sad to say i still cant understand ur plates!?? please explain...

and as for the rear lights being painted, was just cheaper than buyin the impul covers for them and looks cool, makes the colour flow and

is different to the black rear garnish every other 4door has!

there not covers, i taped up the lights and sprayed the black bits the same colour as the car, bit they look ausome just like a s2 but flush with the car. id love s2 lights but hey mine r different.

Lol! You did such a great job on those lights. you fooled me into thinking they were covers. So how did you get that perfect circle for the lights?

Maybe i should have done this with out spending so much on S2 tail lights.

i have pics i took whilst doin it, ill dig them up 2moro but i basically just used masking tape and a good eye. i love spraying stuff, i tink i was a spraypainter in a past life, so after a wile u get good at it.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
