@mcosworth @Davezj heater is on for late night tinkering so come over for a brew if you wish

looking very nice mate

[Nick Mann]

If only you were closer!

I have also been tinkering. I'll upload some photos when I have got everything aligned properly. At the moment the beams are looking right and both are too far to adjust on the stock reflector adjustment. Not got the devil eyes wired up yet though.

Just been to the bodyshop to pick up my Custom Bumper, FL Spoiler and Custom M3 Style Mirrors.

Front Bumper has been modified and Replica Super Canards added then painted in :

Rear FL Spoiler was previously Trigger Mauve and has been stripped back and re-painted in A71 Hamilton Silver:

Wing Mirrors were previously Pug 307 M3 style with stock base plates bodged to fit on the Trigger Mauve VR-4. I have had the stock base plate modified properly and had the whole lot smoothed over and then painted A71 Hamilton Silver. Here is a before and after:

Once I get back to the Silver VR-4 and have a chance to fit them all I will take more pics. The spoiler will probably be a while as I still need to collect a regular Non-VR4 Galant estate tailgate to fit it to.

[Davezj]

aways a good feeling

Fixed my projectors because the guys at the panel beaters couldn't figure out how reconnect them. Also installed some new Digital Design component speakers and a JVC KW-V50BT Dvd head unit. This thing insane, makes the sub so much more powerful than the old JVC KD-R626 head unit

[Erni902]

Fitted my new custom bumper

This Weekend I fitted the Cibies. In the end they did not sell when I wanted to sell them so I decided to bite the bullet and convert them to LHD light beam. I was trying 3000k and 6000k HID bulbs - as you can see. The high beam is totally crap though...

I also fitted my new speedo fascia. I needed to buy that, because I had to cut the OE fascia when installing the 260km/h speedometer.

how the hell you park on the ceiling in second picture?

All you need is grip from the tyres...

[adaxo]

If I may suggest something, I would try to do either, white (colour code) cibies or black cibies with black grill?

[crazydriver81]

I thought about that too @adaxo. White shrouds for the Cibies dpes not work TBH (have seen a picture once with that setup) I have to look for another FL front grille to test the look.

The shrouds actually have the same Color like the Ganador mirrors (plain black with 2 layers of clear lacquer.

Today was a successful day. Managed to get the pin number for my Toad alarm and deactivate the auto-lock settings. Was always worried I'd get locked out car one day with key in ignition!

Also managed to solve long running parasitic battery drain from alarm. Was a problem with teh indicator feed to the alarm brain, all seems good now! Just front wheel bearing which I can occasionally hear to sort out and all will be tip top!

i put different rims on the white vr4, got it a wof, then changed back to its normal rims


20150131_184825.jpg
rims that are usually on blue legnum, look awesome on this one

the car is now sold, felt weird, had her for 3 years, but i couldnt afford, and didnt see the point in having a third car that didnt get driven, but still cost money, so im down to two cars, on a happier note, i have money now, i got the blue one a new battery, since its one suddenly and completely stopped holding charge, buuut, the new one doesnt fit, to tall for mounts, as pictured, getting new posts made up tomorrow.

I changed the rear diff on my car on Sunday. The old one had a hairline crack just below the AYC bleed nipples and it slowly leaked its AYC fluid.

Ben that's why you don't let Flowers work on cars, they should be standing over by a fence looking pretty.
