Can you do some more pics of the rear bar please Alex, maybe some side and diagonal shots as it looks interesting. Cheers.

Yeah no worries, I won't be able to do it until Wednesday arvo, but fyi, it is just a veilside rear bar... I am not a fan of the veilside front bar, hence I didnt use one, but am going to use the veilside side skirts and as pictured, rear bar

5SGTE - here are some more pics of the rear bar for you, sorry it took so long, also I plan on using the veilside sides, although i would prefer the border sides I think.
Also measured the clearance on the front lip, and its only 85mm from the ground, so I am wondering is there a way to raise the height at all, without actually increasing the gap in the front guard? Maybe a bigger profile tyre?

Bigger tyre profile will not do your steering feel any good. Its six of one, half a dozen of the other really, gotta find your own balance between guard height and bumper height...

Looks like you are currentlu running a low profile so a profile increase with a stiffer side wall like the semi slicks will be fine for steering feel.

yay, another step closer, Essdub came up today and we finally bled the clutch, and I tell you what the RPS Max 6-puck clutch is an extremely heavy clutch, may need some sort of bracing on the actual clutch master cylinder to prevent the flex on the firewall. Maybe something like they make up for the brake master cylinder.
Things to do before it goes into the shop for tuning/ecu install:
1 - Fill and bleed coolant system, planned for tomorrow
2 - Get moroso sump back and install that
3 - Take off dump pipe and have o2 and wideband sensor bungs welded on
4 - Heat wrap manifold, dump pipe and install heat shield
5 - Install wideband setup
6 - Sort out the vacuum lines
7 - Fill with oil
And then it will be good to go... Getting soo close now, almost been 3 years since I drove it last...

haha, yeah mate, it seems the closer I get to having it on the road, the bigger my smile is, and the motivation to actually finish it is getting better too. I have finished the back of the car for now, just need to paint the rest of the car black. The ebay tail lights dont look too bad, and fitment is quite good.. 5SGTE
