Probably the closest I'll ever get to owning one.

Did they actually make roof racks for these, I got the surfboards lol

Got some more goodies in from Japan today.
Replaced both BOV's and the Vacuum tank.
Have the pressure tank to do but I think I'll need to pull a few things apart to get to that.
Also got my OEM clear blinkers, so swapped out the amber bulbs for silver coated amber T10. Gets rid of the fried egg look.
So got those on today as well.

So after about a week finally got my A pillar back from the trimmer.
Very happy with the job. Time and quality, brilliant.
I think we'll worth the effort to make my own pod setup and I think right choice to get it covered in vinyl

Trying out a lip extension to accentuate the mild ducktail of the centre brake light and S6 tails to be contiguous with the red of the Recaro seats.

Looks good,
I was tempted to take the wing off and go full duck but really couldn't bring myself to do it.
I really like those wheels.
starting to cool down there now ?

We continue to have record temperatures during the day, but cooling down significantly at night.

Doing our annual Vancouver Island Highway Cruise tomorrow!

Been a bit quiet of late as I put the old girl in for a respray. Same color but my OCD kicked in and there was some variation in bumpers and stone chips and a few scratches.

Well finally have my car back and very happy with the result.
All the same shade of silver now and an awesome shine. Need to wait a good 4 to five more weeks before ceramic coating.
Be interested to hear from anyone who has used the clear stone guard. I am thinking of using it along the sills and up the wheel arch a little.
Also went and got the side windows tinted to match the rear and happy with that also. Now have just been cleaning inside and out to get rid of all the sanding dust.
The car was clean but not to the level I like. .
Windows are a bit dirty but I had to wait 48hrs after I got tint done so I apologize but they have since been cleaned
I also pulled the KTS coils out as I bought some 10Kg springs to replace the 12Kg.
So much better in regards to comfort, I think the 12's would be great for the track
Also popped a Fujitsubo diff back on for good measure.

Thanks Redbul,
Really just trying to get it to a solid clean and tidy standard. Can not go super low cause of my driveway is too steep. Don't want to go super drift spec cause I'm just too old for that ****.
But once the intercooler comes back into stock I want I will grab one them put the rest of my exhaust on with possibly bit bigger injectors and pop it in for a dyno for a few extra killer wasps and then just enjoy.

Hows things been.

I want one of the PWR ones. I'm just waiting on the carbon shrouds to arrive. Has been a delay for months and months.
Already have a PWR radiator and impressed with performance and quality. I think PWR supply radiators and intercoolers to some F1 teams.
Basically same intercooler setup as below

I've been considering getting that intercooler too, actually. Seems like a well-made kit and I know PWR is a reputable brand. Is Marcus the primary way to get ahold of this kit or can you go through PWR?

I like that it is OEM fitment basically and cause i am not chasing huge numbers will work well.
Yeah I did try contacting PWR as they are Australian made but they said that they only make them for Marcus.
He has the Intercoolers in stock but waiting on shrouds so wont sell one without the other.
Luckily Marcus is about 60mins away

Got it, thanks! Shame about the delays on the carbon parts... did he give any estimation on when they will be available again even with all the delays?

60 minutes is definitely convenient! Much less of an ordeal than trying to get one here in the US. I've always wondered about firsthand impressions on this kit, but I doubt many folks in the US have this IC setup.

From what Marcus tells me it shouldn't be long.
He had to change suppliers of the carbon shroud. I have never seen a bad report from this setup and yeah your probably right about not many getting about in the states.
In saying that would probably be a good deal with the exchange rates. I would probably have to import something else from Japan if I didn't get the PWR and wouldn't get the carbon shroud.
I'm using the AutoExe intake and the Feed carbon manifold cover so will all tie in nice and actually perform.
Just seen Marcus was posting up a dyno sheet of a 460Hp run using one of these and other things but it seems to hold it's own
