[AsHw3e]

Ok guys i thought it would be time for a little update, been saving money and ive decided to buy a few things for the baby :P

Got a friend in Japan at the moment who went to Toda for me and got me a couple of things last week and waiting for it to arrive :D
Toda Heavy Duty Chain Tensioner
Toda Up Rated Valve Springs
Toda Heavy Duty Timing Chain
Toda CL7 Throttle Body or Spoon Throttle Body (hopefully Toda as i like to stick with 1 brand) lol :D
Coming at a very good price so was glad i had the money ready. Otherwise i would of been paying way more. Also i got coming very soon thats been waiting for me in Sydney for a few months now is..
Toda Spec C Cams
Toda VTC Killer Free Adjusting Cam Sprocket
These will be coming last since my friend has been generous enough to hold them for me for a few months now :) Pretty much brand new as he only had it on for 2 days hehe :D

Also got coming in the next few days are my Hasport 62a Engine Mounts. Was debating really between these and Innovative but heard ALL good things about Hasport and Innovative was more ups then downs. Didnt like hearing the downs so i went with Hasport :) , hopefully i made the right choice haha.

Orderd new brake pads, Ferodo ds2500 Front & Rear. Ill be needing these since im putting a fair bit of power into the car.

Some bling aswel to make the engine bay nicer, went for the JDM look so i purchased a Red Rocker Cover and Silver Spark Splug Cover. Oh and baught a Beaks Tie Bar hehe

Ordering my new intake manifold and intake manifold cover aswel, the RRC (from the FD2R) very soon, hopefully i get it before Adrian comes down to Melb for a tune.

Last but not least, will be placing an order soon on Exedy HD Sports Organic Clutch & Lighten Flywheel.

This is the progress at the moment with the car, hope its exciting for you as it is for me :) , Ill update very very soon so stay tuned ;)
