Hurry up!

Would like to sell my TE37s so I have extra cash to buy other stuffsssssssss!

Like: Cusco catch can, sway bars, LABOUR, proper project Kics nuts....

Few more to add

Well, been looking around and also realised there's a few things I forgot off my previous list.

• Fix up security
• Swap out gauges! Want black faced gauges. GReddy preferably!

Also LED dome lights have arrived, and that means reverse lights =) helllllll yeahhhhhhhh can't wait for some BRIGHT LIGHTS! And stuck one into the civic already for interior. It's a very nice pure white, not blue-ish at all.

and an update, from Feb 25:

1. Camber kits - KCA347/348
2. Castor kit - I don't think I need this actually, since I have adjustable castor rods...
3. Coilovers
4. Tyres
5. Stickers, valves, caps, etc.
6. REAR INNER TIE RODS!!! - High priority  

I.E. ALL ORDERED!

Looking ahead

Alright so I've got a massive backlog of stuff to put into the car - what I'll call 'Stage 1' modifications. But already I'm thinking ahead. So here's a quick list of what is projected to get done this year, and that will be that for the year. The first two items are really more suspension parts so they belong to Stage 1 but, I haven't bought them yet so I'm just sticking them in so I remember too.

HICAS lock bar

Front and rear sway bars (maybe)

FMIC

Optimise exhaust

Nistune + tune

Now let's have a quick look at the cost of this...sad face!

HICAS lock bar - 60-100$

Front and rear sway bars (maybe) - $400

FMIC - $600?

Optimise exhaust - ???

Nistune + tune - $1000

So that's at LEAST $2000 still to go.

More things to do

Great news:

Have finally decided upon suspension, and I've gone with a set of Bilsteins. It will be a shock + spring setup so not on-car height adjustable but it will bring both comfort and handling at the same time. I've paid for them so now am waiting for confirmation of receipt of payment...then things will be underway for them to be sent over!

Few things to do either soon or when I have time:

• Paint brake calipers
• Oops, that's all.

Nah, just kidding. I have a LOT of stuff to put on - but this will wait till after I get my handling/suspension sorted, then everything will go in the car at once -and boy I've got some nice things to put in the car. CAN'T WAIT.

Also, reminder to self: call Leon when I have money!

It's been a while

Been a bit quiet lately, mainly because it's leading up to SUSPENSION TIME. Visited Dennis at Grim Performance and had a chat, most likely will take my car and parts there to him and let him take care of it. Knows what he's doing for sure, I trust him. So just waiting to find the right set of coilovers or shocks/springs. Will be MASSIVE update very soon as I've had bits and pieces arrive here and there, I don't want to put any on yet until I get the suspension fixed up. Then everything will be sweet as.

Quick arrival update: wheel centre caps and NISMO stickers arrived from Jesse Streeter today, excellent customer service and turnaround times. Will definitely use his services again in the future - and if you want to source Japanese parts, GO TO HIM!

New Shoes!

Mr.Skyline got some new shoes on the weekend. It’s been a long time coming actually, because the rims that came on the car previously were quite damaged and to me, just plain ugly (with the damage) – otherwise, them being SSR Professors, I love them actually…so maybe one day I’ll get another set. But for now, something even better =). Oh and also the previous owner had nankangs on them. wtf? Damaged rims AND nankangs? Hang my head in shame every time I take my car out.

Saturday was very busy – woke up at 830am, went to Hornsby Nissan to get some front tie rods. Then it was off to Taleb Tyres, massive trek from Hornsby to Tempe! But thankfully traffic was rather smooth, and apart from getting a bit lost up near the airport, it was all good driving – got to boost a bit on the M5 too hahaha.

How it looks now. Super sexy. Once again, bad quality pics, will need to get myself sorted out on my SLR so I can get some proper pics up….it deserves it.

Currently working on getting my Nismo stickers to complete the wheels.
