This weekend i plan to:

-Install Error Code free ABS ECU (Already cleaned and installed new ABS Sensors)
-Give My center console, handbrake lever and Gear Gaitor off to my work collegue (Upholsterer) to get made up and covered in new leather
-Drain Sump - fill oil cooler and system with new Penrite HPR Full Syn 10W along with new Drift Oilfilter
-Reinstall Radiator, Replace Coolant Sensor from Shtuart, fill with coolant

- Start Car :)

- Bleed Brakes/Adjust handbrake Cable
Well this got done, bar giving the interior bits off to be reupholstered (He went away on holidays).

Got a few other things done.

-Sahin fitted exhaust gaskets
-Plugged Vacuum gauge into T-Piece, this also solved the engine light flashing as the line being off messed with the map sensor
-Found a coolant leak and fixed it
-Fitted stereo, tuned it :lol:
-Fitted Cigarette lighter and bulb with fixed up loom
-Adjusted coilovers back to close to -1 camber on front
-Limter bashed every gear in the garage while up on stands :lol:
-Secured fusebox back in
-Fitted and wired in Davies Craig Fan all legit and sh*t

I like grids myself, they're what Nick's got on his FTO, and looks awesome :)

Lightweight would be cool, but budget is $1000 max for rims.

I'd be wary of buying grids.... The paint is pretty crap.
Nick's onto his second set, and two days after getting them they already have paint chipping.
