UPDATE:


I've placed orders for the following parts:

- Whiteline Rear Sway Bar (GPX & Includes bushes + droplinks)
- Front Drop Links
- Front Sway Bar Bushes
- Front Control Arm Bushes
- Tie Rod Ends
- Tappets (meek)
- Thermostat

- Have contacted Dstocks in regards to GPX rear control arms!


TO DO:
- Work out whether I should get coilovers or springs/shocks (quickly!)
- Work out how to acquire 3" samco elbows for CAI
- Test new thermostat to see if that's the issue of my overheating to justify new radiator



Let the game begin 8)

Parts have started arriving! :cheers:

Meek had the tappets here in less than 24 hrs, holy f**k :lol:
Got the tie rod ends and some of the bushes as well...
Waiting on the rest, should all be here this week.

Still chasing a rear sway bar, if I can't find one in AU i'll have to settle for a 20mm one through camskill and deal with the postage :/

Could someone (Bennoz!) please help me in identifying the right samco hoses to go from my intake to my MAF and from my MAF to my pod? Not sure what I'm looking for here... 3mm elbows or what? :lol:


Cheers guys!
Jack

So did they just cover up the cog on the left, or did you remove it?
