***Official What did you do to your EK today***

Cheers for that,great to know Mike!

Well today I used done some pre-summer polishing/protecting of the body work on the car.

I used meguirs scratch X 2.0,then polish and wax.I did 1/3 of the car,it took 2 1/2 hrs and looks Brilliant.The scratch X 2.0 takes out all the small scratches,just what my car needs.

I attempted to put my front strut brace on, but had no success. The bolts are on very very tight... I was Pushing on the house wall trying to loosen them....

use a breaker bar man, thats the only real diy tool i can think of besides using a air gun, lol

finally able to get the car back on the road after a full rebuild to the D16, needed new rings, con rod bearings, thrust bearing, valve stem seals, new clutch. also lightened the flywheel, ported the intake and exhaust's, Valve regrind and reseat. currently driving it on the break in period but absolutely feel its pulling alot more power than the stock motor ;D

thrashed it :D

I like the garnish on the door sills, looks cool :thumbsup:

I have been up all night getting the car ready for autosalon. Literally just finished now at 4am... (sort of finshed, still needs a vacuum) I Lowered it to the lowest the Buddyclubs RSD's could go (prob not as low as i had hoped but low enough :) ), fitted my EK9 door visors (pain in the ass...) Fitted my super hot spoon wipers (sik), made a bracket and mounted up the new Vacuum box for the quads, Put the freshly painted front bar on ( had to put that back together - fogs, winglets, grill etc) Also had some new T1R's fitted today, now i have a small amount of stretch action going on haha It has been a long night :/ sigh.

:thumbsup: Good work will definetly come to see you car
