** Windscreen leaks and NEW WHEELS **
Weathers been wet and the rain heavy... windscreen starting leaking in a few small runs so removed one side of the A-pillar exterior trim and sill to get to the windscreen ext trim. cleaned and inspected was surprisingly okay :) layed down some fresh buytl on the edge (generous amounts!!!) and taped it for security as it dried. Tape removed...works! no leaks :)
 


 
Removed the front spoiler, not bad ;)

guard rolling cargnage? arrgh...
 
good job with the windscreen trim too.. mine is so goddamn heinous. silicone, stickytape, etc.. and about a foot of the screen. super jealous.. <_<
 
meisters look slick as too! whats the sizes/offsets?

Noooo not cool! Filling with water..... Damn!!!
Easy job man all  did was:
> unscrew the A-pillar trim starting near the fender
> peel and lift the door sill rubber out of its alloy carriers - partly removing it
> unscrew the remaining A-pillar screws  from the alloy sill carrier (now visible because we partly removed the door sill rubber)
> unscrew the alloy sill carrier - unslot it towards the rear of the car if needed.
>>>
> follow the windscreen edge trim around to the B-pillar, wiggle and slide the radiused exterior finisher
> pull up and lift the long exterior finisher removing it and BAM!!! Your A-pillar trim can be removed and the windscreen edge lifted, it should pop straight up and out - or you can gently caress it out with flat plastic bicycle tyre levers! lol there flat and soft - wont damage anything. It just sits in there nested via some plastic locators which sink into the windscreen rubber gasket.
> clean it and check it and your ready to seal your windscreen!
 
** Give us a yell if you guys want a hand sealing the windscreen one weekend was easy enough only 1hour-2hour's to do a good job with everything layed out ready!
 

woot woot

HOw did you take off the windscreen rubber? My is leaking also and holding water like a boat in the doors. All my trims need to be restuck down. Did you heat it up then peal it off? I have no idea how to do it

 
hahaha you crack me up man, hit us up if you want to fix it "san" sticky tape! i was tempted to just electrical tape it but the sun was out so made the most of it.
Jealous bout your tyre voucher man!!! Spot on caught the left rear lip and scored the tyre taking chunks....

Hells yeh! Tyres sorted!
Cheers for the help Dylan, In the end it was easier to sort out locally.
BJTM's took the Bridgestones back and replaced them with Falken ZE912 195/45/15's  for the smallest of fees. Behold.

:D
forgot about photos i'd left on my camera from the sorrento run. :P

Cheers anarchisttomato! Kind words! Seeing i'm not in WA you'll just have to build one 

It has been WAY too long between updates... my bad this is whats happened.

- IMEC 35mm trumpets install
- O2 Sensor Replaced
- Wheel lip spraying (Thanks Dylan/Gorilla these wheels are awesome!)
- Breakdown (Rad hose adapter fail.)
- Interior tear down and clean 
- Shifter mount spray
- Binnacle display freshen
 
Proof:

As it stands as of 13/02/2012 - hard parked at work.
 
IMEC 35mm trumpets install.

I dont drive it like this obviously. The ae111 airbox base plate is fitted between the trumpets and itbs. I do drive it without the airbox lid though. Its sounds mega 1980's awesome.
 
O2 Sensor replaced.



The O2 sensor was largely the reason the black soot was building up and for the beyond poor fuel economy. It was replaced with a genuine AE111 sensor. note the different length cord and the different size flange and locators.
 
Wheel lip spraying.

Finally got around to removing the black electrical tape (mwahahahaha) and sprayed the lips of the Work Miester S1's. 
 
Breakdown (Rad hose adapter fail.)
So Emma had the ****s and burst a rad hose... on closer inspection it was only a matter of time as the adapter made on the fly with the install did NOT have a flange to stop the hoses from slipping..


Tabs / Flanges added.





Interior tear down and clean. 



 

Shifter mount spray.










 
Binnacle display freshen.


Needed to be done  since day one has been sh#ting me ever since! (will update with an after photo)
 
also
Re-coloured / treated ALL exterior plastic trims, with black plastic re colour stuff.
Didn't take photos of the process but will take some of the "after" shots.
 
More soon, drive sooner.
 
 
 
 
 

aaaah.. excellence and the best activities.
 
really great work you're doing. :)
