The weekend changed my transmission oil after 25,000km of usage and put in castrol manual vmx80. Started taking off mods to putting money aside for my boosted car.
Spent some time just then cleaning the interior. Vacuumed and wiped down all leather bits (door sides, steering wheel, dash, handgrip, back of the seats) with this.

I actually really, REALLY like how Rico's door cards are cloth. I dunno why, I just think it looks way better than the normal leather... or leather-ish material. Lol

I have cloth door cards as well. It's starting to fall off, but I'm going to respray adheasive on them so they won't sag.

I had cloth door cards and once they started to fall off, they were off. I sprayed a cheap adhesive on there and it wouldn't hold so I upgraded to 3M adhesive and nothing worked. It would hold for a day then sag again. I eventually had to take them off altogether. Let us know if you find something that actually works. I'm sure I could have found a product that would have worked, but I didn't feel like wasting any more money on the car.

Rico, as always, great car and great photography!

Last night when for a nice drive with some friends. Probably the first drive i had with the thicker rear sway bar. Car felt alot stable through corners giving me alot! more confidence smashing through each corner. I could definately feel the sway bar doing its thing at turns i get little to no understeer or oversteer only where i want the car to go. So none of this oh ****! o.O

Anyways made me fall in love with the car again :3

[NGHTKD]

Rear swaybar changes the whole feeling of the car, first time I went for a drive with it, back slid out round the corner. None of this plough understeer!

By the way, which setting do you have it on? Middle or the highest one?

Middle atm. Dont want to put on hardest from what Euphoria said. That you get oversteer with hard. And i would **** myself sideways if i snapped into oversteer again lol.

^^^^^ NO NO NO NO!!!!!! You know the rules no porn on the site lol....... car looks great though, you running the 25mm spacers in this pic?

[whatthe]

Yeh man 25mm spacers all round. Do it you cant go wrong.

[96stgreendemon]

I know you had to roll your rear quater panels, but what about the front? any rubbing going on with the plastic fender gaurd

[whatthe]

Na it should be fine. Mines sitting a tad higher at the front to even have the tyre meeting the fender when its running over bumps. Since my gutter tomy driveway is ****tty and i dont want to fcuk up my fiberglass splitters. Even if it was lower it should be fine.

I ran super flush before with my 17" and they were homo gay. I was scrubbing on the passenger back and both my fronts tyres were constantly getting sliced. This was with my coilovers full hard. The car was no fun, i had to drive like a little girl and every corner was a fcuking challenge. I was probably doing it wrong, having not a cool setup. But im over it, i like my setup now. Looks good and dont have to worry about the road conditions.
