Nice, I hit about 180kw on that boost (tuned), so not too bad

Overnight (plus several months) parts from Japan.



These won't be going on till I have projector spotlights (Narva 71850, same as TRDGT4), and I need to get a tab plastic welded back on.

Excited that they've arrived though!

I've also purchased a duck caller to wedge onto the BOV. VrrmmmmmMMMMMQUUAaaaaaaacccckkkk.

Most likely still on the bumper they came out of; such is life.

Today: Played with a duck caller; recorded footage on a potato.

I was quite certain I had updated this more recently than 18 months ago @_@.

Stuff that has happened since I last posted:

Whiteline rear swaybar!


I greatly underestimated the difference in handling that it would make, which resulted in spinning out just after this corner here. Bum-clenchingly fun!
https://www.google.co.nz/maps/@-40.9970727,174.9471144,19z

#neveragain

Then I acquired a TiAL Q BOV and had it welded to the intercooler


Cleaned all 250,000km of brown muck out of my radiator/overflow;


Acquired a 350mm deep corn Nardi


So then at some point, I got my projectors in:


Replaced a door card with a less crappy one (before/after):



Installed a hektik poddy and polished the underside of the bonnet

Played with a GoPro (over the hill I spun out on >.>)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5STylvAjXE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-TZ2xWbpuY

Acquired some Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers:


Turns out that when you take the rear quite far down, you end up with around 4 degrees of negative camber. Lel.

Just the rear down (with 20mm spacers on the 17x8+35 RPF1s)


And then I had an associate take some pretty as **** photos of it (still no front coilovers in at this point. Some regrets, as I got the first picture made into a canvas):



Went on a trackday (with new clear indicators as seen here):


Trackday footage here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Y7fbZGTLg

Then a whole bunch of time passed where it sat on blocks cause I sold the RPF1s and pondered parting it out. But then I returned to instability and started buying stuff again.

New bluetooth headunit:


And then after being quoted 6-12 weeks, but taking 6 months, these things turned up:


17x9+17 Bronze (AHG) Work CR Kiwami.

Turns out I overcooked it, as they're not easy to fit.

But fit they do, eventually, with 245/40/17 RE002.

I'm Craig and that's my story.

Wow, I haven't seen this thread before, but nice work.

Bit of a shock when I read the specs for the new wheels, and the pics confirm. I'm pretty sure yellowchinaman in the UK (possibly looking at moving to NZ at some stage too I think) was at some point making fibreglass widebody front guards... may help!

Am a big fan. I'd be more of a fan if it weren't for sillystrut and needing to get them crack tested to pass cert, but at 10/8kgmm they're actually really pleasantly riding.

I've had to crank the dampers up because of the wheel fitment now - still pleasant, and awfully rewarding while driving aggressively, but it's not a comfortable ride in comparison.

I much prefer the RPF1 look. Still excellent!

Guardwork at the rear completed. Threw a little something extra in because it happened to be sitting around >.>

More than enough clearance at the rear now - like, I would have considered 9.5" at a similar offset if I knew there would be this much clearance.

Fronts still not resolved - been pondering wider front fenders from Yahoo.co.jp auctions, or just laying waste to the ones I have.

So it turns out that nice, soft guards will mostly solve their own problems if you hit them with tyres a fair bit.

It's basically stopped rubbing now, even on aggressive drives up hills. A++ trader. Would trade again.

Photos happened:
