Alright so im going to be changing the brake fluid out tomorrow with new penrite racing dot4 (http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=12&id_products=361)
 
Also going to slap in my intimas srs on. Brake light for some reason comes in in the cluster on hard braking. And the rear passenger side caliper is sticking/dragging so going to have to look into this tomorrow.
 
Went for a drive last night with a few friends. Got to see how my car performed. Still need alot of work. Need to sort some suspension issues out. And need a retune. Any suggestions anyone? Thinking to go to SAS? or around that area? People said UNIGROUP is okay? Oh and forgot to mention the bride brix seat i have installed is amazing. Holds me so well!
 
Anyways thinking to get some coilovers such as HSD or BC down the track. And need to order new driver side a to b pillar seals and its leaky. And want to buy and install a dash cam. 
 
So much money. One thing at a time.

Wow neat car. I love the overall look.  I have to confess I'm a huge fan of the Advan SA3R's. The bride seat looks great too, would you consider getting one for the passenger side eventually?

Came back from autobarn with my penrite brake fluid. Going to start soooon. Umm i have the bride rail for the passenger side. But im looking into a recaro maybe sr3 or 4 for the passenger. Girlfriend doesnt like how the bride is so hard to get in and out. (Hell its a pain getting in and out without rubbing against the bolsters)\
 
So a recaro should solve this. Just that they are abit overpriced for what i think they are worth. Im keen to get  a cloth type and not a honda material type.

Recently last Friday got tint for my car. My old existing tint was too light for my liking and faded for so many years. Went with 20% all round with 5% rear quarters. Absolutely love it. Definitely recommend going to Ground Zero Tint in Blacktown. Got it done for $145 :)
 
Got some parts coming. 2nd hand JDM seat belt units from a half cut in WA. And come interior trim. And waiting for a mates to bulk buy and order targa seals as my driver side is leaking. Unsure if i should get the passenger side as well.
 
Some interior trim. (looking at a new glovebox). To fix my power antenna? Been looking at some universal options.

And http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170738422945?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3210wt_1066
 
Comes with different angled grommets for different cars. Or i was looking at windscreen antenna options. 
 
And trying to source out a oil catch can for my car. If i should go aftermarket or get a stock one (if i can find one).
 
And adjustable endlinks for the front for my whiteline swaybar.
 
Forgot to mention been looking at dashcams but nothing seems to suit my criteria or price range. I was happy to pay $250ish. Something with decent functionality and the Blackvue DR400g II ticked all the options. English software and firmware. App for both iPhone and Andriod (i have an iphone and nexus 7). The app is used for streaming live videofeed to the device and also for transferring clips to the device without removing the memory card. 
 
And GPS is an feature on this device which i dont really care about. But on the plus side there is 1 year Australian warranty on these which is great. But from the link below there has been reported issues with overheating which can result in lens damage. Something which can be very common in Summer in australia mounted to the windscreen. Not something i want to risk even tho it may be 1 year warranty (still going to be a hassle returning the dam thing).

There is the upgraded model the DR500 but thats in the $300 range. And abit excessive for me but seems to have no overheating issue. I will be waiting for the price to drop...
 
And in the pipe-lines looking to get 17x9 sa3rs for the rear with some 255s on there. And keeping an eye out for staggered 16 te37s as well. (Cant get enough of rims)
 
Will be going to the Monthly meet this Wednday to say hi.

Got this from senor_2 from the monthly meet. Thanks man. Works like a charm. Had to adjust it to fit well as one end of the black pivot points popped out the first time but its working now. Nice addition to the car.

 

 

 
Today had new parcels come in. From DB8 i got door bezels and 93+ tweeter covers. And from a wrecker here i bought a pillar trim and centre rear brake light. And got jdm seat belts from a half cut in WA. As you can see in the picture below the buckle for the JDM. But i should be able to just swap the buckle across with the ADM. Hopefully i dont screw anything up.
 
 
 

 


 


Also 2 night ago i let my friend drive my car to let him experience 3sgte power. We came to a stop and he yanked my handbrake and i heard a POP. I was thinking nooooooo not the handbrake cable again! I have replaced this a year ago upon purchasing this car. Anyways the morning after i attempting to find the root cause. The cars handbrake still worked but took 9 clicks to hold it. Usually it took 5 clicks. I was curious.... So i got the car jacked up and off came the underpanels and everything underneath looked fine. So i proceed with the first section (incabin leading to the underbody of the car) As some of you know there are 2 sections of the handbrake. Took out the driver seat and the centre console and peeped through the carpet and as you can see 3 wires of the bunch of the handbrake has stripped. Hence the POP noise.
 

 


Got one on order from mr2-ben. Hopefully doesnt take too long to get there. But it will have good piece of mind that the whole handbrake wiring has been replaced by me and shouldnt have any further issues :)

I have one of the BlackVue dash cam on my work ute, mounted behind the rear vision mirror and hard wired in, so i dont even see it or notice its there. 
Great camera, very happy with it.
 
I bought it from Race Recall in Melbourne http://www.racerecall.com/blackvue-dr380ghd-p-233.html

Not trying to be silly but I hope you were using some axle stands of some sort when you were under the car
