Nice work, surprised to hear of an SSQV leaking though
 
I've got to plumb back mine and tidy up my bay soon, maybe get started on the long weekend

This morning fitted AD08 225/45/17 onto SA3R 17x9 +38 at Bob Jane T Marts in Castle Hill for $15 each. I sourced the tyres myself, just required them to fit and balance them.
 

 

 

Great to see you are starting to enjoy some driving at the track.
Last week in Tasmania, I had a drive of a friends SW20 with the same tyres you have just fitted. They are a nice tyre to work with and do fall over after a few laps if you get the temps up but a great tyre for track days. We dropped the pressures to 34 psi which seemed to work ok. If we had more time (and fuel) we would have tried a few more things.we were only 5 seconds of the pace of the improved production times so both pretty happy with the result.
Do have footage available?
If you need a hand at the track for a day( with set up), I'm sure a Ian, Adrian and myself can help out where we can. 
 
 

I have the footage, but i dont have it uploaded anywhere to show you. Thanks for offering, ill sure keep that in mind when i plan to go out next.
 
Just some generic shots of the car under good lighting making the paint look nice.

Last week Repco has a sale for Mother products 30% off. Did my research and went with the following products,
- Clay Bar kit which also has the lube :)
- Synthetic Wax 
 
Altogether it costed me $50 and i saved $20. Winning :)
And i bought a car cover which was also on sale for $40
 
Being quite new to car detailing. I found this page, http://www.autopia-carcare.com/how-to.html. Which explained things about clay, polish and wax. 
 

 
Washed the car and then started claying it. Ive never clayed this car ever and wow what a massive improvement it makes! The paint was so smooooooth afterwards :D. I was very impressed, but noticed all the stone chips and scratches from old paint :(
 

 
I think the whole process took around 3-4 hours. From wash -> clay -> wax.
 

 
Since i dont drive the car on weekdays. Bought a car cover so dust wont gather up on the car. 
 

 
 

Pretty keen to get a fujitsubo legalis r exhaust. Under 1K shipped to my door. I mainly love how quiet it is and the twin tips. Nothing wrong with my exhaust. Or just spend money on another trackday =\

Looks great, a real keeper.

Great car/thread and pics, love the work! The RE002 is def not a tyre designed for the track. It has stiff side walls which is good but the compound just does not have enough grip for track work from my experience in the SW20. I took em out the first time to try it and fell of the track on the first lap lol. AD08-esque tyres much better although you will probably have pesky understeer if you have RE002 at the front and AD08 rears...
I have bad experience with chinese eBay H4 globes, I'm running Osram Nightbreakers which are very good. $20 shipped from UK ;)

Link to the Osram Hightbreakers? For $20 shipped from UK looks good. As i found shipping stuff from uk tends to be expensive...
 
Heres an update!
Picked up a Defi VSD Basic off my friend. Basically what this is is a HUD that displays your speed or RPM onto the front windscreen. This item is discontinued and so glad i got one. I always had trouble seeing last my steering wheel above 60km/h due to my seating postion, the angle i have my steering wheel and diameter of the steering wheel it doesnt work for me. And its a nice little gadget to have. Wiring should be simple, Power, Ground, Speed, and RPM from the ECU.
 
As well i picked up a Phoenix's Power Departure II PRO exhaust. I believe its a PRO. Will take me a while to clean it up, polish it and spray the mid/b pipe in high temp silver. But overall there are no dents and only light scratches.
 

 

 

Getting to work on the exhaust. Its going to be a long process to get it to shine.
 
Getting started. Comparison.

 
Muffler selfie.

 
Sanding down this connector with 400 grit then 1200. Cant find my 800. Was covered in crap before.

 
Thats all im doing for tonight. Give it a rest. Have a crack at it another night. That was roughly 1-2 hours of work there.
