I know right.

After it gets detailed again I think I'll have to hit Jack up for a shoot.

My phone just isn't up to the task.

My AF sensors turned up today. Couldn't believe it. Ordered and payed on eBay on the 14th and delivered on the 19th. 5 day turn around from England.

I installed them this arvo as well. Such an easy job. The hardest part was getting under the bloody car.

Hopefully I notice an improvement on the trip to work tomorrow.

Also booked in for my 200k service after Easter. That should be the end of my spending on this car for a long time I hope....

Small update time.

Purchased some more goodies to pretty much finish off the modding of this car.

Muteki Sr48 lug nuts. Bought these to replace my cheapo D1 spec nuts. Haven't fitted these yet. I'm waiting on my replacement front shocks from Kido racing to turn up before I fit them.

With the help of a certain member here I've purchased a smoked set of hanabi taillights from import monster. Just awaiting the next container.

Today I picked up a set of Tcp quads from Tan. I am undecided if I'm going to sell these on or sell my Sti quads.

The Tcp mufflers sound fantastic with the xforce centre pipes which I'm really happy with.

But fitment is lacking.
Left hand side fits perfect but the right hand side looks terrible.

Suggestions for an easy fix??

Great stuff Tom! looking forward to seeing your car again some time soon

As for the exhaust problem, maybe bending the hangars to the right a little will straighten out your mufflers? just a suggestion

Thanks Simon. We will have to catch up to exchange the engine bay covers

Add to the list above I'm waiting on the set of engine bay covers from the gb as well as a pack of resomat from the gb as well

I've tried bending the hangers with a hammer but it's way to stiff. They will need to be heated up to get them to bend I think. Plus I don't want to hit it too hard and start breaking welds.

Thought you may have jumped on those muffs Tom :wink:

As Simon mentioned, hopefully will be as easy as realigning the hangers for a perfect fit.

May be worth taking it past an exhaust place. They'd come across this everyday and know exactly what to do.
Car looks great!

Thanks mate.

I have an exhaust place just up the road from work so I'll try pop in tomorrow.

Went to the exhaust shop today.

He reckons the inlet pipe has been welded in the wrong position.

It goes in Wednesday for him to cut and rotate the pipe so it fits as it should.

I had the muffler realigned yesterday.

Im happy it sits as it should now. But I'm really disappointed with the welding job tho it looks shit house.
