So happy! headers with 2.5 inch outlet, full 2.5 inch system centre resonator and rear muffler. Sounds great

very nice car, and good quality work man. I was as sleepy as hell but your thread kept me awake.

p.s. you gotta post a vid up of the sound!

I haven't had the chance to get a sound clip yet but it is on my list of things to do.

My fourth shock from Bilstein should arrive in the country this week coming, the springs are not captive so will be getting all four shortened by way of insert, no cutting/grooving involved.
The car is running very well and has been super reliable coming up to 180,000kms on the clock.

Upcoming plans, get the suspension and brakes installed, track down a rear strut brace, refurbished air intake manifold, install the new cam covers, remove AC condenser and piping, find some wheels - I have been thinking about a set of 17x9 +35 Enkei RPF1 and work out something with induction piping/pod filter.

I have been thinking about stripping the boot area so everything is exposed, replace the tail light gaskets and give the boot area a good general clean.
Will hopefully have updates in the coming weeks.

My last shock arrived today, tomorrow I am getting them all shortened to be captive on the lowest setting should be sitting 60mm lower all round front standard height.
More to come...

Today I had my shocks shortened, now all four springs are captive with bump stops and ready too be installed hopefully this weekend

This weekend went great, I installed the struts and new sway bars with help from my father and here is the result, I'm thinking the rear will go down a little bit more once I get the rear sway bar in as it didn't come with the drop links nor mounts but I have ordered them in.

I also stripped out the boot area to leave everything exposed I quite like it so I will keep all the plastics out for now until I sort out a rear strut brace and fix my rear light gaskets.
