Cleaned the car for the third time this year. The ceramic coating has completely wore off, but to be fair I did not keep the car clean at all, and only did one coat of coating. I just used regular autoglym this time.

Measurements Bumpstop total length 8.5cm Dust cover from top to bottom 30cm white bit on the top of dust cover to top of black bit on the dust cover 2cm top of white bit to the top of the bump stop .94cm so the bottom of the bumpstop is 9.5cm from the top of the dust boot or 7.5cm down from...

Dear diary, I was always a bit interested to see if the standard rear bump stops would need trimming when paired with the bilstein b14s. I bought some second hand rear dust boots and bump stops to butcher if needed in this experiment. I first had to try and figure out how to remove the bump...

guess its lots of minor update time. I have been neglecting the car little for the past few months as I try to get things done around the house with Covid meaning we work from home for the most part and being able to see tradies when they say they will arrive at 8am then show up at 11am...

Performance mod update Did go for a good thrash around in the rain Friday night and Saturday morning. I really enjoy the front end sliding around a little bit and then gripping while wheel spinning on full power. Had so much fun

I was then bored one day and wanted to clean my MAP sensor as I do not think it would have been before. I do have that metal bracket thing that holds it in place but thought it was crooked so took it off. The MAP sensor came out so easily and it was covered in a oily film and it was sitting...

Fairly big update time. So i decided to keep the car after going through the selling and wanting something else phase with four doors This is going back a little while but I received a lovely package from Brakes Direct, and they even played along with my special request. It is TRW 1 liter...

Since installing the Bilsteins and lowering the car the small amount i did, i could no longer get my jack underneath the car and had to resort to using a small jack to get the car high enough for me to use the bigger jack. I was annoying to say the least. I did not want to get a slim jack as...

I decided to go for a dawn run on the great ocean road with a friend to see how i feel about the new ball joints and superpro bushes. The front of the car feel very solid and planted and feels so much more tighter than before and seems to take big bumps in the road a lot better It is hard to...

Time for a update. With some leave coming up from work, i planned to get the ball joints and superpro bush installed during this time with Auto Paris in Box Hill. They said they could do it when i asked them late December last year and i would get in contact with them once i had leave sorted...

Dear Diary I was thinking to give actual detailed reviews of the products i have placed onto the car Ceramic coating I have never really been pedantic regarding how clean the car is due to it being black and dirt seeming to stick to it like glue all the time. I daily this car and it will sit...

So i have been pretty bummed about that as i knew it would be a pricey fix. I do mean pricey. Sadly if you fix one side you should as best practice do the other side also. So 6 balljoints and superpro bushes were ordered and a big chunk of money later, it all started arriving wishbone ball...

Guess i will start with the bad news. Can anyone spot the difference?

The ceramic coating arrived and i made sure to put a weekend into the process as i knew it would take a while. I did not take many photos during the process but i basically followed the video from the previous post i made. It did take a combined 5 hours or so, with the hardest part being...

My original carpets were pretty shagged on the drivers side, it was pretty worn and lasted 11 years which is a good run. I looked for another set of originals but found this website where you can customize the mats to suit your taste. I went with black and red stitching, you can do any color...

Install update I set aside a Sunday to attempt to install the coil overs after doing lots of research on the internet about methods and reports. Most people said they had major issues with the fronts and could not figure out how they came out. From pictures and looking at them myself, it...

The other stuff arrived a bit faster than I thought it would. Got an oil change coming up, never noticed how small the oil filter was. Got these parts from European Auto imports in box hill if anyone was curious. Postage was pretty reasonable also. Guess it's time to start measuring up...

So i finally got around to installing the head unit I purchased a while ago as I had a bit of free time. I had got all the connectors needed to make this a simple plug and play install and still retain the factory steering wheel controls. The items are form Aerpro if anyone wanted to get them...
