yeah mate, as the guys have said, u needa have 3 brake lights, i havent got around to doing mine yet after i took the spoiler off.
gotta wire it then cut the black section of plastic from inside the window = not fun lol


had an issue with the turbo bolts coming loose, from the constant heating expansion and contraction..worked themselves loose, had a big exhaust leak from the turbo exh.housing, but should be fixed easily by a few nuts on the underside to clamp it nice n tight shut..

good news the exhaust leak was fairly easy fix, just a couple bolts underneath to clamp the exh.housing to the manifold.

had another big issue, nothing too hard to fix, but the exhaust that was custom made was rubbing on the underside of the car, causing a big loud ass vibration which was annoying as!
so i unbolted the cat section and indeed the cat section was practically resting on the underside of the car.
so whenever i put my foot down the engine torqued and moved the exhaust causing the vibe. a custom made pipe with no cat that clears the underside shud solve this.

and it seems everything was coming at once lol my rear right seatbelt is rooted :/
so out came the seats for a good clean down anyway, while i installed a whole new belt.
