Didn't have any matte black paint left oh well, barely can be seen within the heatshield anyway, did a quick aluminium sheet metal jobbie on the factory heatshield.

May need to trim the heatshield near the flanges to get better clearance in those areas.

Installed my "washer bottle" today :rolleyes:

Lookin realy schmick mate. I like how you retain the stock look.

Quick note though ,if funds permit get yourself some Split fire Di ignition coils they will don wonders on your car (do it before tuning).

I was considering replacing the coil packs at some stage but just couldn't justify the price tag. Especially when i found out tonight that my friend bought 2nd hand Audi R8 coil packs for his Golf R with a certified 2,000km for $75 :rant:

I've seen genuine coil packs on eBay go for $355 for the set, but unsure as to whether or not they are really genuine.

Link for anybody that might be able to tell or have come across them?

It was either that or lash out some drug money for the Okada Projects, but haven't heard enough reviews to justify it yet either

Don't need okada's mate. A set of new OEM or split fires will be fine. If you still have issues, there is a mod that you can do that deleted the standard ignitor box. Misfire issues gone. PM me

For info if it comes to that.

Stuff like detailing kills me, I wish the car would just forever stay clean haha

Yeah, pretty happy to stick with new OEM! The 16 year old coil packs seem to working fine with no missing at all, but replacing them prior to tuning would be a good idea to avoid a potential 2nd trip to the tuner!

Close up pics of the steering wheel? :D

I'll grab some tomorrow, is there concern for it's authenticity? Because to be honest, I don't even know if it is, but I purchased it off a top rated seller on ebay and was hoping for the best. Paid genuine price for it, so hope it's genuine product.

didn't get the chance to get any pics of the steering wheel today, but what I did do and get pics of is:

    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.
