        Its been awhile since I've updated anything. The car has been sitting in the garage up until today.





        The half cage is made by Autopower and we'll get it fitted together with the car. I'm also considering selling the craft square mirrors. Personally I like the OEM mirrors with the kit.

          Looking good Norm.

          When are you going to remove the rear wiper?

            Good question. Never thought of removing it eh. I guess I should if I dont have use for it.

              Hi guys,

              Its been awhile since there has been any news from me. Nothing much has happened. The car is still in the process of getting painted. I have ordered a few parts that will soon be arriving. In the meantime, these goodies arrived. Fingers cross we'll get it back in the next week or two. I'm itching to piece it back together!

                Hey guys, a minor update with some parts. Car will hopefully be ready by next saturday but if it can't by then, it will be collected after the 26th of Feb. In the meanwhile, we've encounted some issues. Fibreglass does not like plastic, and at this moment, my rear quarter flares that get bonded to the bumper are having difficulties being blended it due to the oil in plastic. We're seeking other alternatives but not liking to spend money on a fibreglass bumper.
                In the meantime still waiting for a few more parts and obviously the car to be back so I can piece everything together. Can't wait.





                Felix: I took your advice and bought myself just a OEM wiper seal to remove the rear wiper.

                  Sucks to hear about the flares not sticking to the rear bumper accordingly but luckily you left the car in highfill and primer for awhile so these little issues can be fixed now.
                  My car goes to the shop monday, not sure how long for so im hoping mine goes smoothly.

                  Thing are looking good for you Norm, keep it up boss

                      such a great build.

                      I'm sure there has to be an easy fix for the Kit to stick on to the Bumper? What do all the other people do with the same kit?

                        Norm, just a question boss,
                        Does your buddyclub guards have a 'lip' on the inside of the guard like the 'OEM' guard would?
                        If so, did you end up trimming yours at all or left it?

                        Just debating on what i should do as i get slight rubbing on that 'lip'.. if they were OEM guards i'd simply roll them but since there fibreglass i'm thinking about giving them a trim!

                          There was no trimming. And I do have a slight lip with mine. I dont get any rubbing on mine. Was the sizing on your rims and tyres too much?

                              My wheels are 18inch by +22 offset, and with my jdm brembo conversion it pushes it another +15. Tyres are 265/35/18.

                                Interesting, im on 17's still and my offset up front is lower then your substantially.. How much camber you got upfront Norm? I'm running -1.5 degree and the car is fairly low upfront.. Im wondering if this is partially to reason to why im hearing an inner wheel scrub
