AMP = Aqua Marine Pearl. its the factory colour of your car. i dunno what the respray would have done to it but it still does look like the same colour.

seen you car last night at panel shop.. what happened?? didnt look like anything big though...

Ah so that was you!!
It happened a few weeks ago actually. I thought she was turning it right, light went yellow, I was late and it was raining...well you know the rest. Still no excuses :P
To my dismay however there is some minor chassis damage, it won't affect handling but long term rigidity for racing, who knows. I just wanted to pull it out so the headlights aren't obstructed by the front bumper being pushed back.
Just picked it up today and looks okay now. Eventually I might get a border kit tho hehe

wow you already got it back, thats fast lol
i figured you might have guessed it was my car there ....
i was pretty suprised to see it there as the colour is rare as is and then two in the same shop lol

LOL yeh Vu mentioned colour was rare. Actually I saw another one same colour as ours a while back at BP Wellington Rd, it was almost EXACTLY the same as my G-Limited down to the revision. Hardtop as well, same colour, dark rims, asian too lol. His one was perfect inside out though. We looked like twins lol. We were supposed to keep in contact but somehow he disappeared...

YEAH theres a few around, cogs on this forum is another AMP owner, along with myself and now you, ive seen a few other ones too. def a different colour to the other thats why i kept it the same while respraying.
theres very few greens at any give meet. almost all are red

Been awhile since I've updated and it's been a really slow process but I've decided to allocate only a certain amount of time and money on the car as I have other commitments too :)
When my shifter lever broke 2-3 weeks back I decided to install the short shifter plate as well from Twos R Us. After 21 years of human grime and slime I decided to disassemble all the bits and pieces of the shifter assembly. Cleaned up every nook and cranny and even soaked the parts on turpentine hehe.
 

If you look in the well there's like a strand of Mi Goreng LOL
 

I forgot to take the after photos but it's certainly a lot better than this!
 
So how does the short shifter plate feel?
First thing I noticed, shorter duh. But seriously it lives up to the reviews on Twos R Us about the shifter being smoother. It's not a perfect smooth (almost never the case with mid engine, cable) but it's easier to shift into gears and obviously requires less travel, combined with the 93+ shift lever I already had, it's an improvement I'd say for only $20 so I got my money's worth :)
 
Next job: Full interior detailing with the Rug Doctor :D

7 Months without updates but I thought it was worth posting a few things that has happened since.
 
Before

 
After

 
10 points to whoever can spot the change :)
 
In between (residue of rape of 20 yr old seats by Rug doctor)

 
Oh yeh and this happened too

 
Long story short my engine finally raised the white flag (thanks to me or rather NO thanks to me). Still on restrictions so I decided to get this engine even tho my plan was the 2GR. Found out after it got fitted that it recently had a head recondition :D which means it's done less than 75,000 Km! (Assuming 75,000 Km wasn't a lie when I bought it). Few dramas made this swap a LOT longer than it should have as it could've been easily avoided but I won't go there.
Anyways I'm finally back in the game!
 
 
 

ooooh hows the beams perform to the normal 3sge?
 

Nice result with the cleanup.
Makes me embarassed with my interior...
