The car is looking great - both outside, and the enginebay.. :)
very neat work. i like.. :)

And a comparison of what it looked like when I bought the car.
Was a mess. Didn't even have an overflow bottle! All vac hoses connected wrong, heat shields not secured, wrong map sensor, wiring twisted by hand and taped, boost gauge connected with fish tank airline, Missing nuts on the strut tops I could go on forever :)
Before...
 


 
After...
 

Beautiful result Nick, love it.
 
Are you hanging on to the old cooler pipes? Depending on the diameter they look like they might be of use for something I have in mind.

That looks so much better

I love that engine bay - all function, little to no bling.  It almost looks factory!

RdS - Thanks man. No where as neat as yours. But I'm trying :)
 
Senor_2 - The pipes are all yours if you want them? Need any measurements? Can bring along to the next meet if you like?
 
Cheers Dasic1
 
Fredhoon - Yep, that is exactly the look I'm going for. As stock gen3 as possible. It wouldn't make sense to try and adapt the factory airbox or intercooler so will have to live with that.

If you can be bothered let me know the diameters of the openings, but looks like they will work going off the TB end etc. If you can bring them to the next meet that will be great, cheers.

Been a while since I've updated this thread, then again not much has changed.

Recent purchases not yet installed.
Berk Gen3 3in Down pipe. Not sure if I will install this now or wait till a CT20b becomes available to replace the CT26 which is currently fitted.
 
APEX 30mm Lowered springs for AW11. Bought these today brand new for $50 (Bargain!) from South Australia. These springs are made in Holland and are specifically designed for AW11s unlike the saggy king springs on it at the moment. These should enable the car to sit level and slightly higher than it is right now. Research leads me to believe these springs will work well.

Bought a Canon 60D SLR camera recently for a holiday we went on so I can finally take some decent shots of the car. I have alot to learn no doubt when it comes to producing great car shots.
 
Peace out

didnt think the gen 3 dump pipes fitted onto a gen 2.
speak to RDS about taking pics of a AW11 he seems to have it all sorted pretty nicely.

Ahh the engine is a gen3. The previous owner replaced a blown ct20b with a ct26 :(
Yeah RDS does have it sorted.
