K guys, it's been a while since I last posted. I have been really busy with work. I tracked the car last year and I can say, I am addicted. It's winter now and I have more free time on my hands.
So I have a bunch of this I'm going to be doing to the car, I will update as time goes by.

That car is one sexy beast! I absolutely love the colour choices, both on the car and in the engine bay.

So over the winter I have been pretty busy installing parts.
I finished up installing my surge tank setup.

Can't wait wait to try these bad boys out.
I have also done lots of wiring and re-wiring.
Tonight I am going to be installing HPS+ HAWK brake pads, the Respeed strut brace,camber kit and front sway bar.
Pics will be up tomorrow.

Well had some stumbling blocks, I got the strut bar installed. I had to shim it to fit properly as it was hitting my inter cooler piping.

I then stated to install the camber plates only to find out that some washers were missing. Sam from respeed has mailed them out to me. That will solve that problem. Hopefully they arrive today.
I then proceeded to try and install the sway bar, didn't get to complete that last night as I started to get tired. Don't want to make any mistakes.

K, so I gave up on waiting on the washers. I had a local machinist make me two. I will be installing those tonight along with my camber plates and finish installing the sway bar.
I also decided to change the rubber brake line flex hoses on the car as I can easily access them at the moment.

They are covered stainless braided DOT lines available in red, blue, back and clear.

Since I upgraded to longer wheel studs, my old studs won't work.
I took a red tuner lug nut from my supplier to see how it looks.

What do you guys think, would they look good on a blue car or should I stick with black?
