Thanks Arinbjørn;) cant wait to see what mods you come up with next for your car!

[KAL]

Not many visual mods are planned, but you never know

[Kolbotn]

Not much progress here, planning and buying stuff for some bumper mods im doing.
And been buying some other stuff too:

[etikoner]

Loving this through and through.

Can you show some closer pics of the vitalonis? I have a replica set but Can't mount them up properly enough to be able to use em.

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Man screw Norway's laws, you should be able to do what you want. Beautiful car.

[Kolbotn]

I'll see what i can find Erick, i sold them to another guy since i bought The zoom ones.
I used the original mounting holes, had to take a dremel to modify the mountingplates, The mirror on The passenger side was useless, and The driverside was limited...
If i was to use vitalonis again i would drill up some new holes a bit forward on The door, where The M2-1001 has them.

Thank you i<3flippyheadlights!

Last week my radiator decided to die, and so The car has been parked up for a week at The gf house. I have been waiting to upgrade to a aluminium one as i was feard The OEM would die sooner or later, Turned out it was sooner, so i had to order a new one. I opted to buy The 50/60m all aloy raceversion from I.L motorsport.

Getting The old one out was a doddle and i soon Found out what had happened, it Turned out to be crisp as a cracker. Gettin the new one in was harder as it takes up much more space than The OEM, but i eventually got it in place. Took me a good few hours, due to som hoseclamps giving me trouble and the fact that The temperature went from -2 to -13 during The day.
Next on The buy list is IL motorsport slimfans and radiatorshroud.


Oh, and i also Found this in my mailbox:

so i'll be ordering some new Gauge faces soon...

[Kolbotn]

A week after installing the new radiator, one of the heater hoses in the back of the engine burst, so i ordered a set of Kevlar reinforced OEM spec ones from www.Autolink.co.uk

I have also been busy ordering some more parts from The far East, thanks too Maxime/Rev9 and Rod/Tetsuya Garage.
