I'm thinking about re-striping my Monster. There's now another red Mex around here with white stripes. Can't have that!

I’m still looking for a downpipe for my turbo.
I need a T25 downpipe with a standard MX5 flange on the end, or run to building a new downpipe, or building a new exhaust. L

Currently modding a set of el cheapo fog lights from Super cheap $18 (With their 25% off discount) to fit in my mouth and have a set of tri strobes put in... Man they are bright...

I also love my rotary tool from Supercheap

Tri-strobes??? Sounds cool, are they a bulb you add into spot lights? I saw a few drifters with them in Japan, but the fun nazis would ticket you over here.

Current Police Policy seems to dictate "Don't worry about catching crim's, promoting road safety or catching drink drivers and people running red lights, lets ticket people with blue led's in their park lights, a real road hazzard" (NOT!!!)

New projects indeed...

Completed winter projects....

"PO1SON" lives again but now on a white NB, today I went into LTSA and did the big plate swap so I can maybe sell "TURB05" and so my baby is reborn as "PO1SON".

Changed the front brakes to Bendix Ultimates, and slotted disks. the first few days even with lots of bedding in runs I was not too impressed, but great stopping now, albeit at the cost of buckets of brake dust. for the sake of safety I can live with the dust.

Added chrome rings to the front air vents, really breaks up the bleak dark dash. Would like more but too expensive at this stage. And now trying to import some white adhesive speedo/tacho dial faces from Japan.

Current/Future projects,

One - Half way.. OK a third of the way.. an upgrade of injectors, fitting an Emanage Blue, fitting my wideband O2 sensor, and then naturally more boost... In fact Glenn has done more than me on this by programming my emanage. I just need to buy a 2 Bar pressure sensor. And make an O2 clamp.

Two - Install my super sexy purple and chrome "HKS Hyper-D" front shock/springs to be installed. Lets all worship TradeMe. Although it will be sad to take them out of the bedroom...

Three - Replace the crap NB speakers, fit my amps and find a space for the sub. The one I had in my NA is too deep for the NB.

Four - Lots of blue lights, and now thanks to Shermio, I'm thinking strobes... OK hold back you haters, try to catch up with the new millennium, like it or not auto cosmetic lighting rocks.

Five - No point in havng a project number five at this point as I'm taking too long to even start on the first two. Although some air horns would be good, if I could find some space....

Tri strobes - alternate triple flashes each side

Good heavens...and here's me trying to figure how to find a couple of seconds a lap so that I can run with an indecently quick AE86 Corolla GT and a supercharged MR2, when all I really need are some silicone wiper blades and strobe lights!!!!!!!! (oops, sorry )

The dual Hella electric horn kit is an easy fit and works well and doesn't take up under bonnet space. (use the two factory bolt holes)

Silly boy………. Don’t forget the Coffee Can exhaust, and the secret go fast mod…………………… the glowing water jets on the bonnet!

Hey the silicon blade are damn good

and there's more than one way to enjoy our cars... some like to go fast, others like to stand out... I'm the kind who likes to standout, I never give anyone any grief about how engine mods will devalue a car or that I would never buy a non-stock car cause it will probably be thrashed...

The fastest cars are those with strobes on...

the guy in front always pulls over

Ooops, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

(They “look” lighter, especially at night)

Heck, did I just do it again??

other projects I may never quite get around to... (since someone asked!)

- flush headlights ... got the 4" Hellas already, needs fabbing (lots)
- oil pressure gauge... got the gauge, needs a sender
- torsen... got the torsen, needs fitting
- even bigger turbo ... needs fabbing
- aluminium radiator ... needs fabbing/fitting
- fit the urethane bumpstops to front shocks (rears and FM top mounts done, phew)

good thing the missus doesn't know about all this!
