If I ever build another AW11, I would want to do one like this. Two tone and turbo!

Great looking car, awesome daily too!

Congrats on the kids :)

Hi all,
 
Its almost been a year since I last updated this thread :) Too be honest not much has happened with the car, just been too busy with our twins and life in general.
 
Just recently I gave it a bit of love and got the following done to it:
  • Replaced a noisy/clicky door check strap on the drivers door that has been bothering me for years
  • Removed and remounted the inter cooler to the body. It had a vibration and slightly poor fitment from when I first installed it
  • Removed the 4in exhaust tip that surrounded a 3in tip on the SW20 Kakimoto muffler. 3in suits the car much better than the milo tin it had before.
  • Fitted a TwinCam 16 white decal that has always been missing from the rear left tail light
  • I ordered a set of JDM plates the other day when I saw MyPlates are supplying them now. Picked them up today and just finished fitting them. Will pop up some on car pics during the day. I was surprised that the bolt holes and fitment wasn't perfect on the rear of the car. I decided to double side tape the rear plate in 3 locations so as to not need to drill the plate or drill the car (UK style) The front plate is obviously the same size as the rear so is massive when fitted (bolts in perfectly). I can understand why the Japanese love relocating their plates to either side away from the radiator haha.

Couple of quick mobile phone pics in a shopping centre carpark tonight showing the new plates. Excuse the dirty car :)
 
New tail light decal can be seen as well as the towbar and smaller exhaust tip

Wow been almost a year without posting. How life and kids get in the way :)
 
Recently fitted new front Tyres and had a wheel alignment. Nice improvement to the handling and road manors.
Also fitted a child anchor attachment (using the coat hook bolt location) and fitted a child seat for one of our soon to be 2 year olds. 
 
I am thinking about putting the car up for sale as I simply have very little time to drive and tinker with it these days. Currently gets driven once per week to keep the battery and all other systems healthy. Has been garaged ever since I bought it 4-5 years ago and driven in the rain only a handful of times.
 
If anyone is interested please let me know? Its an awesome pretty rare car that gets heaps of looks wherever I take it.
