dreamer... yeah thats him, lol he went and bought the green racinglogic r34 drift promo car, it is so bright. i think cause i got my car at a really good price thats why he offered you 12. at the end of the day a car only worth wat some1 wants to pay for it.

arggh, too much angle. I'm twisting my head to look at that photo!

But it is an awesome shot. The wheels look amazing and the HID fog lights look great. Were they hard to convert? hows the light pattern and what was the cost?

Cheers.

easy as to convert just plug into the globe harness and mount the ballasts done, i angled the lights down so not to annoy other drivers but still throws out heaps of light, hids are 300% brighter than halogen lights. the ballasts are about the size of a wallet, they come with brackets that only need 1 hole, cost my $90 to my door off e bay, h3 lights, h4 hi/low from the same guy is about $140 for the head lights.

Thats the best thing for the paint if your parking it for the day/night, I always chamoised my car when it got wet. helps stop watermarking in your paint work

hey guys little update, the little bit of plastic that holds the stand for the engine cover broke so i made a gas strut from an old canopy from a ute, they were a perfect size. and i have booked it in at pits on the goldie for a full tune on the 5th of may, does any1 know if u can use the stock boost solenoid controller to increase boost? ecu is going to be wolf v500. i know the wrx can do it. the ecu has boost control i just hope the new comp can adjust it. it has an internal MAP sensor reads boost pressures up to 30psi. let me know your thoughts.
