Very nice mate, looks sweet...but cos of the angle you"ve parked on it looks like you"re front sits up super high, hate it when it does that on mine...I"ve learnt to park with my nose facing downhill it makes it look lower at the front lol.

Hey Mate

Looks awesome

How did the gear box service go on the weekend ?

Thanks bud,

Was definitly an intersting one, especially on standa, drained easy, filled in fill hole easy enough but hardest part was the extra 400ml in reverse sensor, absolute bitch to get to, messy but successful. Haven't seen any difference really with gears changing to the mgo7075 compared to the dex 3 tho

Heres the front brakes getting done;
Prepping up, i sanded the rotors hard with some 120-180 grit and smoothed off with 400 took off all the surface rust and any glaze the pads had left over, then taped up the rotors and gave about 5 coats of VHF black caliper paint

Onto the Calipers gave them a good clean with the wire brush and wiped off with damp towel and allowed to dry for few mins, taped off the side of the car and inside the guards and gave about 5-7 coats (light) of the red caliper paint (note it looks a bit orange but is blood red in person)

Looks good bud, I did the same to my brakes a couple months ago and they came out tops, especially for 30 bucks in paint lol

Oh yeh with the extra 400ml what i did was jack the car up on one side and just add the 400ml in the level plug didnt even bother with the reverse sensor....

Also i drove up on 4 slabs one on each wheel to get the extra clearance....

Also if u dont mind me asking how much did you get the penrite oil for and where at ??

Mines due for a change soon........

Thanks Mate
