    • Definitely keeping an eye on this. Good effort man

      • Man it's been a while.

        Update I guess:
        The car has been running great.
        The coilovers failed (shaft dropped straight to the bottom one day upon changing strut tops) so have the standard suspension in.
        Finally got around to getting a new clock-spring, no more air-bag warning and the horn works.

        The paint is not so pretty any more;
        1. Got a slight scratch in a carpark, no note left
        2. Someone ran into me on the on ramp to a freeway (let this go as there was only a slight chip)
        3. An old lady went into the back wheel/bumper area and she wouldn't give me her details and just gave up as she kept making excuses
        4. Right side of my car got egged, both doors have chipped paint
        5. Stonechips.

        Decided to do a 3-way setup in the front again (I still have the CarPC which is currently mounted behind the dash, but will be moved back to the back left corner of the hatch). More updates will follow.

        Also got some BMW Breytons 18*8.5 which I need to fix up, won't be fitted until I get coils again.

              Yep!

              Some updates:
              CarPC is back in the hatch - I had it behind the dash but it didn't have enough airflow. Audio processing takes its toll on the CPU.

              Have done the sail panel and A-pillar pods but only up to resin at this stage. Fibreglass to follow when I've got some time off work.
              Have also done a quick time alignment and getting a better sound stage this time (off-axis). Last time (which was on axis) I was getting really bad reflection on the drivers side.

                • Happy how these turned out with no glass/filler yet. Best thing is the trim can be returned back if need be.
