Yea that's the rocker cover! I just took the raised lettering off. I was wondering if I did the right thing going all black but I am glad I did. I love it more everytime I look at it.

Yea the bumper is sweet on it and still looks good with the R-tune skirts and rear bumper. I have some red Recaros to fit very soon. Just so busy sorting my new house out. :-(. But been able to see my S15 sat on the drive keeps me going. loving the power and getting used to the short shift now too, just the phenomenal brakes I have to get used to now. I have to finesse my right foot a little.. Lol.

Yea still got the Gram lights, going to refurb them before I sell them.. they have brand new tyres on so when they are refurb'd they should fetch me a fair price. They are sweet wheels and I do love them but the BBS LM's are just sooooo nice, and they have just had four new Toyo T1 sport dual compound tyres fitted.
I am slowly selling the parts I have removed from my S15, sems when I need parts everything is so expensive and fetching good money, the second I have parts to sell everyone wants it for nowt.. lol. be right though they will sell one day..

I will see what I can do, I only have a little compact digital camera with video record on it so not sure what the quality if sound would be like.
She fair screams though when giving it beans through the gears. I can tell you without a doubt it does sound good...
As for any updates...
Carbon scuttle panel on it's way the one around the wiper arms.
Red Recaro seats soon to be fitted, and rear seat and door card inserts re-trimmed to match. Should go nice with the grey body work.
Thinking of a quick release steering wheel boss, undecided at the mo.

Oh I like that intake, been looking for something like that for a while. Anyone know if that will fit round a Z32 MAF setup?

Edit - just seen how much they are, holly crap!..

Yea sticking with the colour, I was thinking of going black but changed my mind after seeing a black one and a pewter one side by side at Japfest. I think the pewter looks more modern and shows the body lines better.
Adam L, yea it looked clean before but I was seeing little rust spots getting worse under the engine bay and then when I stripped it I was surprised to find about 6 places where rust was quite bad and if left another year they would have been a problem. I like things to be perfect and always knew I was going to do this to the car from the second I bought it and thought I best get it done sooner rather than later. Iv'e Just had another major operation on my leg to remove metalwork so I made a push to get it striped before the op so I can sit and clean all the parts until I'm fit enough to be climbing around the shell again. Iv'e also got the ARC intercooler fitted before I stripped it I fitted it upside down to get shorter pipework and made it fit further back towards the rad.
