Genuine equips or just a genuine center cap?

Went for a drive for a coffee at Puhoi, then back home and gave her a good wash and shine

Tightened up the battery securing thing and lost all my radio stations.

pretty certain they are genuine work equip 01's. Although I am too lazy right now, I recall BRM posting pics in the what arrived for your roadster thread.

Got the alarm and immobiliser put in. No more exorbitant theft excess.

Was going to just replace this fuel pump cover plate, but no-one had one locally, so decided to be cheap and just remove the rust and paint it with stuff from the shed:

approx 5% remaining metal, 90% filler and primer, 5% paint:

Yeah the size of the 350z gearbox made for some headaches with the dump pipe that's for sure.

I had some fun today painting my flared arches. I will be running some 20-25mm hub centric spacers (which will require a cert) but in the meantime, its something fun for me to muck around with. I have to admit the idea of cutting my current arches makes me nervous....

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 8:55 pm

Tore it apart!

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 9:05 pm

Seriously awesome Dan! I hope everything goes ok and you have minimal issues

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 9:13 pm

No issues so far aside from not having a blow torch

so had to push/punch out all the bushes manually

I swapped my knock off aero catches today, one of the few things I cheaper out on, The Genuine aero catches are SOOOOOOOO much better

I love how there's just shit everywhere. +15 man points.

+10 further man points if car parts end up in your bedroom.

My bedroom got too crowded so I moved into the lounge. The spare soft top and frame is in another bedroom the black hardtop is on the car and the road bike is waiting at the door trying to get in.

I put the Black Hardtop on for the meet the other day. This is its first outing with MrGreys old black rims. At least the black on top and bottom is shiny. It makes the car look tidier.

And yes i have been told multiple times to get rid of all the car parts in my room

4A-GE · Post by **4A-GE** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 1:08 pm

Jealous. All I have in my room is the boot carpety thing and a set of tyres.

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 1:23 pm

Added 20hp worth of stickers and extra tyres to cope with the added power

should be a good day

Hmm photo isn't showing. Guess I'll use image shack when i get home

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 7:30 pm

I used some 3m tape today to do a basic test fit. The rear flare will require a little trimming to accommodate my sideskirts, and I will have to remove my rear mudflaps when I put them on, but otherwise.... pretty damn swish if I do say so myself

omfg! freaking random cat!

Awesome MrGrey, you're going to need some wideass wheels to fill 'em up ;D!

Started prepping for my first trackday this Saturday, cleaned the car, put on the wheels MadKiwi let me borrow and swapped in my track brake pads, just need to bleed the brakes, do an oil & coolant change and it should be shibby.

Joel · Post by **Joel** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 8:46 pm

Mr Grey I've found the right wheels for your car
