New exhaust looks awesome. Definitely one of my favourite exhaust systems. Can hardly ever tell the difference between these, Berk and Legalis-R systems though

New side indicators look good, must look great now that they match the front indicators :)

I've finally had time over Easter to get my new Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed.
As you can see from the pics, there is a huge difference in the springs.
Unfortunately the dust seals from the top of the front struts fell apart, so i've ordered new ones and will have to pull it all apart again to fit them :(

That fallen to bits dust seal thingo in the front top mount can be replaced with a bit of plastic cut from an oil bottle.
Those springs sure look a lot different . What ride height difference ?

I've ordered genuine dust seals from Amayama, they're only a couple of dollars each.
Ride height is exactly the same at the moment, but i expect them to drop a little bit once they've settled. I did take pictures of the guard height above the wheels with a tape measure, but as there was almost no difference there was no point uploading the pics.
Ride comfort is actually smoother on minor bumps and undulations, but as expected is a bit harsher on larger bumps and potholes. Surprisingly, steering feels a lot more accurate and pointy.
I'd like to get Bilstein Yellow shocks sometime, as my original shocks don't control the rebound as much as i'd like.

No problems about hijacking the thread lol.
Any discussion that might help other owners save money is always welcome.

Sorry to bring this up again but looking into it is there any reason why we cannot use a BK-1010 instead as it is sealed on one side similar to the original square one

Looks like a great idea. I can't see a problem with it if the sizing is correct and it fits precisely.

I thought i'd add some pics taken over the last couple of months coz my car is a picture tart lol...
Thanks to Anthony Oh for the track pics, and my phone for any others.

I removed the Fujitsubo exhaust to replace the gasket where the pipe leads into the mufflers as it was leaking.
I discovered that mesh clogged with deposits was sitting in the entry to the mufflers. I'm guessing this may have come down from the pre-muffler (if thats what you call it). Either that or someone had jammed it in there to quieten it (doubtful). It looks like it was originally a lot longer and more spread out, but was now very compressed at the muffler inlet/divider. I've totally removed it, and now it sounds heaps better - more edgy note without being much louder.
While i had the exhaust out, i decided to give it a bit of a clean... a day later, numerous sheets of wet and dry and a tube of Autosol later and its now very shiny :)

Good job on the restoration of the muffler! Looks amazing and like new
 
 

More power!
