Cheers man!

Quick update!

I managed to install a tow bar the other day. Not that it makes my car any better haha
here it is
Sorry about the mess.. those are some of the architecture crap I had to do.
Image
Took a photo of it tonight to show the whole thing fitted
Image
Fitted perfect!

2 mounts connected on each side of the frame where the bumper is located and one on the gas mount. It was pretty straight forward. Taking the bumper off has 2 small bolts (10mm) i think on each side and 4 bolts under the carpet cover.

Here's the wiring matching for the towbar harness to the RIGHT TAIL LIGHT. I did take some photos but I reckon I can just put it on words. It's just for someone trying to install a harness :)
Order "Harness - Tailight"

Red - Green Wire with White lining
Light/Lime Green - Green Wire with Yellow Lining
Yellow - Green Wire with Black Lining
Brown - Light Green
White - White with Black Lining
Black - Ground

For the past few weeks, I have just been doing some touch ups, whats left now is just the front bumper to make it looking mint! Got my alarm siren working as well :) turns out I just need to switch it on with a key lol.

here it is waiting patiently for the rims to arrive haha
Image

Haven't had the chance to install my yellow fog lights too but I'll probably leave it till my rims arrive!
Next is Interior Detailing since I'm on holidays for 4 weeks haha.. Making a silencer atm but I didn't manage to finish it and its still in Uni workshop haha i'll probably finish it off when uni starts. Im making 2 little silencers for my twin pipe

To start up with the Interior: here's a bit of history when I got it.

The car came with complete granny seat covers when i bought it... well it wasn't in the car. I just had to force Winston :D to ask the previous owner if they still had them when the owner bought the car new from the dealers(jap import). turns out it was packed in a plastic bag that came with the wax set (see above) , 2x oldschool wheel stop thingy and spark plugs. (will take a photo of them tonight when i can)

Image

Installed some band expander! FINALLY!! dont have to listed to 88.6!


ATM.. I'm trying to decide whether i should install the boot spoiler or not. hmmm.
your thoughts? they're completely different car but the boot spoiler has the same shape and curve so it will fit in perfect... Still couldn't decide so i thought why not put it in the forums haha..

Image


Future Mods list:
Lower - Done
Exhaust - Done
Rims - Getting there.
Keep the interior All Original - Done haha


Hmmm.. maybe in 10 years time i see my car with an edaboc sticker or covered in "Infstd" sticker just like jeremys :lol:
