Update:
After a bit of searching around for some place decent to have the work done I have narrowed it down to two possibilities. Either way cars going in in about a weeks time for the fender work... :)

Picked up a rear strut brace this morning...currently fitting it up

Had to sand back the spots of surface rust anyway...so decided to give it a lick of paint while I was about it.....

Few small updates:

Rear brace all fitted up......(forgot to take a picture).....no noticeable difference in handling (as expected)...tad more rigidity at best.

Took Tom up on his $69 service offer at PZP because I was being lazy and got an oil and filter change.....can swear the car feels smoother but then again you are supposed to think these things !!

Currently speaking to Andrew at Maddog Customs - want my rocker covers painted and engine bay tidied up a bit.

Also waiting to hear back from the panel and paint place - car was supposed to go in next week for the fender work.

Project: Rear over-fenders

Dropped off the car.

Discussed options by way of cutting out the arches thereby achieving more clearance, welding the inside and outside edges together to prevent any moisture and dirt getting in and getting a "smoother look" and also looked at possible rim fitments down the line.

SAU is really dying......members hardly post anymore :/

However....I will keep updating this thread because I am still very much in love with my car and what I do and besides it helps me keep track of what I have done when.

So update:

Went to the panel and paint place this morning to check on the progress being made......its coming along nicely - almost ready for primer.

(did not take any pictures)

I also picked up a set of rocker covers (thanks Selven) which I plan to prep and paint myself - with a slight rather interesting twist...so stay tuned for that.

How I got them....

Cheers Cameron :)

Scott the guard project was a great success.....it is subtle enough to not "stick out and slap you in the face" and mean enough to "create a stir".

I LOVE IT - just waiting to get the rims out a bit more and I reckon it will look wicked !!

IMO the car is looking the best it has ever done.......

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
