What did you do on your car today?

[himynameisdaniel]

rotated my tires.
fronts to rear - rear to fronts - diagonally.

inspected brake pad\ rotor wear

found a plastic trim clip missing from underneath the front passenger wheel arch that holds the plastic splash guard? to the front fender?

realised that it looks like the mounting point is torn so I will need to improvise something. but that is a job for another day.

First Mod!




Swapped out the stock 16" wheels for these 'temporary' 17" ones while I organise the 18" set!


(I therefore have a set of 16" stock Activ alloys with 85% tread for sale - $440 if anyone's interested!)

Are those outlander rims Martin? And curious but what happened to your spare vrx rims you had from the blue lancer?

[Zaphod]

Yep! - off an Outlander.

Never had any 'spare' VRX rims, they were sold to pay for the 18" Outlanders that are still on the Bloo car...!

I have got a set of 18" VRX wheels coming - I was actually thinking of painting them the same colour as your car - I reckon they would look good against the warm silver...???

Installed this Injen cold air intake. I love the sound from it so far. [img:3e8f9947e8]http://i.imgur.com/blSjtQ7.png[/img:3e8f9947e8]

No need to kill, patience isa virtue, I wauted a year to find those calipers, and all up cost me about 800 fitted. One of my braided lines was lost or they would have been inc. Go up to dot 4 too

Nice I think you have inspired me to get disks and pads and got mine up, just wanted to paint them before fitment.

Super circuits are my plan

Yep! - off an Outlander. Never had any spare VRX rims, they were sold to pay for the 18 Outlanders that are still on the Bloo car...! I have got a set of 18 VRX wheels coming - I was actually thinking of painting them the same colour as your car - I reckon they would look good against the warm silver...???

It could be nice, I always look at the colour of my car and think black highlights sort of complement it, I think the colour ofey a car is painted would contrast well?

[Zaphod]

@Akram - yeah, I figure the same A17 Warm Silver, but about three times the concentration...

super circuit 4-2-1 will give you good power 2-5 k revs, getting rid of the stock muffler will improve economy and exhaust note

Managed to black out the chrome on my grill over the weekend with plasti-dip. Need to fix up the bottom, but I'm happy with how it turned out in the end.

Finally got my Lexia scan tool working with diagbox and corrected my wheel size, enabled fog lights, extra speakers, presence of mmcs and some thing else. Big thank you to delta_fragma for his help.
