Rev5, cosmos blue NA - Undecided on a few things

[Mikey637]

Hey guys, thought I'd finally get a thread up. My girlfriend named the car snap because when I had the nur spec it used to crackle and pop, this is since long gone though as it used to make my head hurt

Done quite a bit to this already, this is an excuse to pic whore my car and keep track of things.

So this is how she stands at the moment!


Gave it a good old polish (needs a lot of stone chips sorting and a proper mop)


Japfest!


Very recently I modded my dash clocks with some transparent film and LED's and installed an AppRadio3



So what I've done so far. (08/11/14)
Near enough full service.
Modded clocks
Appradio
Blueflame decat
Apexi induction kit
Installed a Vibe optisound behind the passengers seat.
New discs all round
New pads all round
New callipers all round
New brake lines all round
BC BR's + drop links
Ball joints
Led rear lights


Things still to do:
Sort sloppy brake pedal
New brake servo?
Polybush's
Refurb Advan SA3R's
Save for V6

More updates to come!

Seen this build and very jealous.

Thought it needed a pic of dat ass


This is the reason for needed a refurb

[Mikey637]

My view out of work this morning

[Mikey637]

Small update.

Fitted chrome dial rings, blue transparent film behind all the white lettering on the dash clocks (will put up a night time picture when it's dark) and I also installed polybushed gear bushes! Shifting is much nicer but no pictures of that.

Nice motor!

I've got chrome dial rings in mine, with an EMS boost gauge replacing the useless factory boost gauge.



Chrome rings finish the clocks off nicely.

Nice touch

[Mikey637]

Cheers guys mine didn't come with the warning light rings!

[Mikey637]

So the blue is terrible and the 12smd leds with 4 on top and 8 around the sides disperse the light less evenly than the 8smd LEDs with them all on top. Apart from the dial rings today's time was wasted on the clocks.



Got to say though, shifting is 10x nicer now I've got the polybush gear bushes in, might have a good at rotating the cube when I change the gearbox oil

[Mikey637]

This happened yesterday



Two things I'm not happy with though is the open end and the fact the front seems too big to "tuck in" properly and always makes me feel like I've left the handbrake half up.




Does anyone know of anything like a chrome tip or cover for the handbrake? Think it'd go nice with the chrome dial rings and I'm going to be getting the Lexus chrome handles soon

Not seen one like that before. I got a rhon gaiter. when I replaced mine.

mine sits a lot lower than yours.

[sam1176uk]

My old car, glad to see it being looked after!

[Mikey637]

I was tempted by a Rhon but preferred the full length, need some sort of "cap" to go over the end though :S

Is this really your old one? I was amazed at its condition when I bought it off of Julian, was tempted to grab the carbon bootlid and do luck spoiler off of him.

[sam1176uk]

Yes it is my old one, i put the wheels, exhaust and dark indicators on it, had full leather seats though at the time?

Exhaust was standard and completely rotten so I stuck the blueflame on still full leather, that was another members post

[Mikey637]

Yep with the newer and poorer LEDs, see post #1 for how they actually look (reverted back to that)
