Hey mate, what pod filter are you using? Is it working well with the original air box?

check out my DIY in DIY section mate you will find info in there

1)compression test. OK!
2)replaced ignition coils to 8.5mm magnecor
3)replaced spark plugs to NGK iridium IX

Took out the whole back seat and shampooed it.

Smells like ammonia now but at least it's clean.

Also changed the HKS filter over last week.

The thing was literally disintegrating.

Replaced interior lights (mirrior lights) with white LEDs

Yesterday I polished the AIM and redid my engine cover. omg my fingers feel like their down to the bone. 5 hours it took me then I had enough. Pictures below.







Not as mirror fiinish like aza's etc..but a huge improvement over the murky dirty crap..

Serviced the car. Back to using Castrol oils (gearbox and engine). Can no longer here the tappets. BTW IMO Royal Purple isnt very good... Clutch fluid changed. Brake fluid changed to high temp MOTUL. ummmm Finally got the control arm bushes put in.

Today I repainted my calipers.

I still have to redo my airbox..does anyone have a template that I could use?

Lol it's coming along well
you have to remember I spent 50 hours on my one to get it the way it is.

IMO the oil cap is a little over the top. But the rest as I said looks really good, well done.

Yeh the oil cap was a difficult choice. Leave it blue or do it a different colour.

Replaced Ciggarette lighter and then i put new windscreen washers in.

Also just wondering is that ring around the ciggarette lighter meant to light up guys?

Even with that you will still need to do some sanding.

Replaced Boot light with a 12 SMD led.
Resprayed the Firewall cover thingy

Aw any idea on how to light it up with an aftermarket cigarette cylinder?

...... hmmmmmm

Replaced used and abused coilpacks.
Replace a blown park light.
Did some general cleaning up of engine bay like removing cut off wires..old contact tabs with nothing connected to them.
Even found an old HID ballast with nothing connected to it wtf.. removed. Weird because the car has hids in atm lol.
Reduced the size of a dent with heat/dry ice trick.

Off to get my leaking droning loud rubbish exhaust replaced tomorrow w00.
