    So apparently it takes like 2 hours to clean the rims properly.. Good fun that was.

    Note: Still looking for a good condition delft blue boot w/o spoiler (including holes) for swaps

    Also looking for 4 stockies with good tyres (not new, just good tread)

    & VY SL springs for when I'm towing (I have fe2 but I gotta look good even when towing :p)

    Wow your car looks mint now that you got 20 inch rims on it.
    Remember a while back I said I was going to supercharge my VZ? Well I went and bought a 180sx lol. We should organize sometime so I can see your car.

    Haha thanks man, I love the rims :D. Just gotta get rid of the spoiler.. but can't afford the boot holes filled yet.

    lol 180SX, completely different... Should of just went the supercharge!


    What do you mean? Like when i got the rear bar resprayed? I'm not sure it was $1200 total but that was re-enforcement, tow bar + the bar.. I would say it's $300 for a respray. I know the front bar will cost me $300 and the boot holes welded and resprayed is $350


    edit: I'm also thinking of going blue walls :D

    You can get legal walls. They don't last as long though.

    I said I was thinking about it, not going to do it. I'll see.

    Yeah but the legal ones go over the load rating which... doesn't look at good lol

    Okay Tax time guys, next updates on the list:

    Stage II Shift kit + servo
    MACE 12MM Plenum Spacer
    MACE 25MM manifold insulator
    MACE 1.98:1 Roller Rockers (I would of gotten 1.9:1 but I got to get the new push rods, so it's only $50 more for the higher ratio)
    MACE Cold Air intake

    All of them mods should boost me up a fair bit. If i got another 20KW from that I'd be happy but I know it won't happen lol.

    Edit: It even states 16-26KW gains from rockers aren't uncommon.. Hmm maybe I can get suprised :D

    As of tonight I downgraded... I went from Ultra Lows to Super lows..

    It only went up 1cm or so so it's all good. Just wanted them for towing, not as much camber etc.
