My VS Acclaim (Series II)

[DAKSTER]

I was thinking may as well get Altezza Headlights too. Dakster I heard you need to take off the bumper to swap headlights anyway? Or the other way around something like that

Yeah take the front bar off first mate its the only way. Easy job once you get stuck into it, you should have it all stripped and reassembled with the new lights in an hour or less. Nothing to mess up. Don't forget to realign the new lights once you have everything back together. Make sure you don't touch the glass surface of the globes as you change them over too of course, tiniest bit of contamination creates a hot spot that will send the globe to an early death.

I hope I didn't when I first installed them D:
A panel beater will be spraying and installing a new bumper, they may as well do it I hated trying to get them to align properly

Edit; Also a question - with my car originally being on LPG would the memcal or ECU be tuned for it? And should I bother getting an original ECU? (Have MACE memcal just suiting high octane unleaded)

[frogsta]

Just did a little more painting today

Noticed the patchy bit with the flash so fixed that up, now to get ready for some vinyl wrapping, deciding where to go but have a fair idea atm, should come out nice

 

[iChris]

looks good. I only just realised that your sun visors are vinyl. did you paint/touch up the handbrake boot to match the black? mine is kinda worn, I'm trying to decide if I should attempt to touch it up myself or get a new one.

 

[frogsta]

I think I did, if not I'm gonna do it soon haha. I know I did the leather surround and that turned out nice

 

[frogsta]

For iChris, yeah I did do the handbrake -

Also next up is LSD diff. I have heard the BW78 is easy bolt on between open centre and LSD (my car is both IRS/abs), can somebody confirm? I will post a link of the eBay one I am looking at

Hey champ i read the first few pages and got to the end and basically all the greens gone ! the only problem i saw is that you werent keeping the colours consistent i.e. light and dark greens but otherwise it was fine, where are the 18s ?! get a move on

 

[frogsta]

Only green is on the main dash and highlighted door inserts and ashtrays in the back, other than the front grille all of the green I have used is exactly the same. If you saw the last few pages I've had transmission and intake problems as well as a smashed windscreen, most of the mods so far have all been performance wise as opposed to making her pretty. Once I have the diff and front bumper + headlights sorted, I'm looking at some 17"s for now from iChris and then probably tint or spacers+rockers
I don't work in the mines or anything like that, not the best of pay and I'm only 19 so can really only afford one expensive thing a month (monthly pay doesn't exactly help)
