Rolling shot as mentioned above.

Also gave the car a polish today to try combat the rear fading.
Came out alright but the hardtops paint is beyond repair.

And I've finally replaced every bulb in my car (except for headlights, fog lights and number plate lights) with LEDs.

Went to pick up my son from archery at Mt albert, found out (along with the 25 cars behind me) that my car is WAY to low for the speedbumps up there. :oops: :lol:

Had an epic day down at Hampton Downs today on the skid pad, first time drifting with the coilovers and they really helped. :D
Tyres still arent worn out :lol: mustn't have been trying hard enough.

Passenger side wing mirror glass fell out after my first run :lol:, only found it at the end of the day, unfortunately it was smashed.
Anyone got a spare passenger mirror they want to part with?

Now want to get 194/45 tyres to prevent guard rub and some sort of steering lock mods. :twisted:

I might have the some mirrors to part with in the next couple of weeks if you are willing to wait that long :p

Getting some of those 'race mirrors' on the tard, just have to find my debit card to pay for them :x

Pretty sure I've got a mirror somewhere, though the joints are probably dodgy. Glass certainly is fine, though!

Free anyway if you want it over race mirrors :)

Hacked a new spot for my number plate, very unfinished at the moment but it will be done one day, needed to do it for a wof

Sacrificed an mr2 bumper for the mount etc. Started with a clean bumper, cut a hole. Super hot glued the fuck out of it.
And basically the only reason i did this, number plate lights!

Finished product, hopefully it grows on me cause i think it looks a little odd.

Speaking of breaking mirrors, i broke my drivers side mirror today. go figure.
