Yep, getting the front bushes replaced in the morning as they have worn down, (getting the uprated ones though, not much more)
R32 front brakes being fitted next week, Highline  dash offer just put in, show roof bars coming in a couple of weeks,
Retrim mid next month. And new wheels some time soon.

Very nice Al, really liking the front end now with the ED30 spoiler. Engine will cover look good too once you've fitted it properly and you can see the oil filler cap  :signLOL:

Oh and, how many sets of alloys have you gone through already?!  :laugh:

I'm a bit confused about the oil cap, as mine doesn't have the stalk neck type part so hoping that I will be able to see it ok once all fitted up.
Think that will only be about the 9th set, Not too bad if you ask me. :grin:

....I've forgotten (typical me!) the exact detail but it's important that the seal to your oil cap neck is properly seated in place. I'd be inclined to buy a neck if it's missing.

I particularly like what you've done with the engine cover - It looks very smart and also different from all the other customisations I've seen - The silver and black are colours which look at home in an engine bay. Some of the ones done across the pond are horrendous imo - Burberry chav patterns even!

Thanks mate, wish my motor was in the same league as yours though!


Just booked in, Feb 13th to get my front seats reupholstered, not sure if I should do the  gearstick gaitor or armrest as well.
And getting my red R32 front brakes put on the same morning.  :happy2: :happy2:

Oh, I beg to differ, would take yours any day (even though it only has 2 doors!)
I'm thinking I will go the OEM+ route and have Interlagos, but currently undecided, think that would look the best with the leather buckets?
Trying to decide on whether I should get the gearstick done, or the arm rest too?

....Personally and seeing as you're asking, I'd definitely use Interlagos - It's very oem and traditional and also looks good with leather or cloth. It's also very hard wearing and doesn't go baggy like leather.

Gearstick and arm rest might be a bit OTT, in my opinion, unless you're building a show 'n shine car.
