Thanks for the advice Falcon. After a little patience K&N filter is now in the air box.

Small update: Nothing exciting has changed. I'm back on stock rims again and loving it. I also mocked up a new 4-ABS sticker (close to original as possible) for bmx4130 and myself. I will get a few more printed in case anyone else would like one.

For a moment there Doug (Falcon) I thought this was your immaculate sw20. Nice work Lumix... I love your attention to detail.

Thanks Carmikey for the kind words. I turned my bathurst sticker layout into a 3D model allowing me to 3D print it. I made a few adjustments to the model and turned it into a little keyring. I'm happy with the result - it is small enough not be a hindrance. I also started to mock up subtle phone holder for the ash tray and a cup holder for the door card.

Today was a good mail day! CRW spherical bearing kit  Clutch pedal pin and bush (Part No: 9024008071 and 9038608054). Hopefully it should fix the clutch pedal squeak.  Engine hood insulator (Part No: 5334117011). I'm still waiting on new clips to arrive before I install it.  I replaced the lower shifter bush before it got dark, decided to leave the top bush as it was for the time being since the bush showed no sign of wear or play. The gear shifts feel amazing now, extremely happy. Tomorrow if I get time I will inspect and rotate the square block on the shift bell crank. Old lower shifter bush  I'm still enjoying the stock appearance and drive. The photo was taken before the Christmas run with the QLD club. Happy happy.

Loving the magic mirror, makes your SW look like a camry somehow. Got any Bathurst stickers left to sell?

Spooky. I heard if you say Camry three times while looking at a SW it transforms. I do, I have 2 left of each version, light grey/white, light grey/black and dark grey/black. rikkir

Awesome ride buddy. Really envy the red paint, it looks gorgeous! I'm also considering swapping back over to stock wheels, something about them just looks right
I've got a request regarding the Bathurst stickers, I'll PM you

Today I fitted the new bush and pin for the clutch pedal. What a pain in the back to change, literally. Ended up removing the seat so I could get under easier. The original bush and pin had wear marks but nothing major. The pedal squeak, touch wood, has gone. The square bush also had wear marks. I rotated it 90deg. Changing the gearshift cable bush and rotating the square bush has made a big difference to the shifter feel. Hoonsy

Thanks Hoonsy, been trying to keep it clean and tidy over the years. The stock wheels have a great look from certain angles. I also like the look of the Work Equips, they have a slight stock appearance.

Yesterday I was driving home with my chocolate frappe nestled between my legs. The delicious contents dangerously close to spilling across the front of my pants at each movement. If you have had a chocolate frappe you will know they are too good to spill. So when I got home I mocked up a cup holder for the door card, it's inspired by the lotus cup holder. A few hours later I'm holding my new cup holder. There is still some design tweaking to do but the plan is to print the final version in black ABS with a leather strap to match the gearshift boot.
