Slowly but surely!

Having bought the car 3 years ago I've finally got round to making a start on things.
Not much done to her yet, new 17" alloys and parada tyres put on. Stainless steel exhaust (cat back). K&n filter and service. Lexus tail lights. Cv joint and bottom balljoint.
In a box waiting to be done is projector halo lights (scratching head on how to make them fit properly).EBC pads and grooved discs. other CV joint. Carbon fibre sheet (thinking of doing spoiler rather than repainting)
Currently negotiating price on monroe shocks and gmax lowering springs.
Need to do both rocker gaskets and going to stainless downpipes and cat in a few months time (downpipe has about 6 months left in it) and any other ideas after that.
the old 15" wolfrace alloys
-
she is looking nice, you will love it when the springs go on, they are a much better drive lowered on 17's, also if you are holding back on the projectors, they are not as bad as you would think and I have made a how to on fitting them if you need help
-
Finally got the rocker gaskets done last weekend and fitted new leads, she's purring like a kitten!!!
Still waiting for CAI to arrive ordered it 2-3 weeks ago
:D
-
leads look bit close to manifold, any way you could tie/ get then in lead holders?, could just be the pic.
Looks good tho, ! 8)
-
Thanks for advice, think you could be right, wasn't sure at the time. leads to the back have squeezed into the original holder.
But front ones are a lot longer than oe and seem to be resting against manifold. :shock:
-
Looks good man, new leads must be nice!
-
Had a good weekend, got shocks, springs, pads, discs and calipers done finally. And she feels fantastic!!!!!!
Had been kinda lucky, old calipers were completely siezed, had to hammer it off!!!
Who said child labour was banned…It's amazing what they'll do for a macdonalds!
She looks and feels so much better for it!!
Gotta mind the speed bumps though, some proper nasties round here!!!
:D
-
Looks sooo much better Bro! nice going, love those tidy looking calipers :D
Go over speed bumps at an angle (traverse it) if you get any grief :wink:
-
LOOKS MUCH BETTER , WHERES THE ARM ?
What id give to have that much space to myself, id have to fill it with projects !
-
Sits nicely !
-
look loads better fella keep up the good work
-
loving the wheels bud! not a huge fan of the rear lights but i guess they are love or hate lol. is looking good mate :D
-
I know what you mean, since fitting the lights i keep debating wether to try and smoke the lenses :?
-
black lexus lights look ok depending on what colour car you have. its only my personal opinion though, dont take any offence to it as some people love them lol
-
No offence taken, as i was thinking of a carbon spoiler thought the lights would need smoking to match. Haven't got round to spoiler yet though as still toying with the idea.
-
how would you smoke them? i smoked my old mondeo lights, (well the indicators on front and rear only) and it came out pretty well considering it was a cheap tin of tinting spray. The only downside with the spray is it does go very dark and you will need a few coats to get a good finish.
-
Haven't decided yet could try spray or see about a tinted film? :?
-
Build up a few layers of laquer from the outside, i think thats how mine were done, although they are a bit on the dark side 8)
-
Go for Flyeyes.
-
What are they? got any pics? :?
