Stocky did you put two blowoffs on, or just the one and did you rig the valve from the blowoff to the inlet piping for vaccuum presure? Im fitting two bov's on and wondering if i need to have both the valves tubed up to the intake.

awesome

Your car is going to look a million bucks once you eliminate that black trolley-bashing abomination. I'm jealous Everyone in VIC is doing mad things to their cars, and I'm sitting here in QLD all cold and alone. And broke.

ok bumpers are on. think i need to cut them to get them to shine a bit, and the colour should match evenly once theyve been out in the sun a while, and i clean the rest of the car. now ive just gotta find the globe for the rear number plate light.

I think that's going to look a million bucks once the black trolley deflectors are gone

Even if it's the wrong shade of white, do the whole bottom side of the doors with that colour, and you have yourself some white/cream two-tone hotness

yeah ive noticed with this paint that after a few weeks out in the sun the colour matches a bit better, and also, the rest of the car is a bit dirty and a cut and polish might help match it a bit more.
