Derusted all the metalwork behind the facelift bumper on Tuesday. Wednesday applied a rust converter which cures to form a coat of primer. Yesterday applied the 2nd primer coat in red oxide. In 48hrs or so, the final gloss coat will go on and no one will ever see it!

So since my factory coil packs were failing at 200kw I made up a COP kit and got some Denso VK22 plugs.

Aren't they discontinued?

And these do fit right in. Just had to buy the connectors and make up the wiring. Plugs into the factory loom.

Started modifying the new toy. Fitted a set of 4mm spacers front and rear, and stickers on the left rear quarter and rear windscreen. Taking her out this arvo for a few pics and maybe another cheap mod
