Hey guys, thought I'd finally get a thread up. My girlfriend named the car snap because when I had the nur spec it used to crackle and pop, this is since long gone though as it used to make my head hurt
Done quite a bit to this already, this is an excuse to pic whore my car and keep track of things.
So this is how she stands at the moment!
Gave it a good old polish (needs a lot of stone chips sorting and a proper mop)
Japfest!
Very recently I modded my dash clocks with some transparent film and LED's and installed an AppRadio3
So what I've done so far. (08/11/14)
Near enough full service.
Modded clocks
Appradio
Blueflame decat
Apexi induction kit
Installed a Vibe optisound behind the passengers seat.
New discs all round
New pads all round
New callipers all round
New brake lines all round
BC BR's + drop links
Ball joints
Led rear lights
Things still to do:
Sort sloppy brake pedal
New brake servo?
Polybush's
Refurb Advan SA3R's
Save for V6
More updates to come!

One day the Phoenix will rise from the ashes.

Nice motor!
I've got chrome dial rings in mine, with an EMS boost gauge replacing the useless factory boost gauge.
Chrome rings finish the clocks off nicely.

Cheers guys mine didn't come with the warning light rings!
Re: Rev5, cosmos blue NA - Undecided on a few things
So the blue is terrible and the 12smd leds with 4 on top and 8 around the sides disperse the light less evenly than the 8smd LEDs with them all on top. Apart from the dial rings today's time was wasted on the clocks.
Got to say though, shifting is 10x nicer now I've got the polybush gear bushes in, might have a good at rotating the cube when I change the gearbox oil

Re: Rev5, cosmos blue NA - Undecided on a few things
This happened yesterday
Two things I'm not happy with though is the open end and the fact the front seems too big to "tuck in" properly and always makes me feel like I've left the handbrake half up.
Does anyone know of anything like a chrome tip or cover for the handbrake? Think it'd go nice with the chrome dial rings and I'm going to be getting the Lexus chrome handles soon

My old car, glad to see it being looked after!
Re: Rev5, cosmos blue NA - Undecided on a few things
I was tempted by a Rhon but preferred the full length, need some sort of "cap" to go over the end though :S
Is this really your old one? I was amazed at its condition when I bought it off of Julian, was tempted to grab the carbon bootlid and do luck spoiler off of him.

Exhaust was standard and completely rotten so I stuck the blueflame on still full leather, that was another members post
