My car used to called xS12x but due to a recent change in my edge lifestyle it had to go through a name change.

Anyway I managed to get the RSX front bar from U Pull It Lonsdale. My mate and I fixed it up and primered it. Went to Sprint Auto Parts and they mixed me up half a liter of 210 silver. But halfway through painting the gun shits itself and only sprays out air and not paint. So half the front bar is silver and half primer.
Here is the pic of it all primered

Also while spraying primer on the front bar, I somehow managed to get it on one of my OG pairs of kicks.
My Air Force III Low got stuffed up.

Also Christmas came early for me and on friday before the cruize Jordan (JDM180), Nick (Windy Point) and I went driving all over Adelaide and I spent around $2,500 on car parts.

Good luck bolting the strut braces on, front is the wrong size unless you can get enough adjustment out of it (might need to cut and shut) and I have no idea if the rear will work, tipping it definately won't if you are live axle (I dont remember).

Rear one wont work without making completely new end mounts, and possibly shortening the centre bar a bit.

Just letting people know that my car is 195 Gazelle with IRS.
Alot of people are thinking that this is Live Axle and giving me wrong advice.

My SR20DET Breaks and Control Arm came in the mail today from Japanese Motor Sport but I was at work unfortunately.
So I have to ring up and organize a time to pick it up. Hopefully tomorrow before work (I'll be late if I have to) lol.

Cant wait to put it all in.

I got a fair bit of whiplash from the seatbelt.
Windy Point was with me in the car and he felt it too.
Luckily enough the Stobie pole hit the front RH fender and not the door itself, otherwise I would be writing this in the emergency room.

Yeah it's insured but since it was my fault I wont get anything back from the insurance company.
And anyway I have a few plans up my sleeve, so I'll need to cancel the insurance instead of reporting the accident. ;)


The one thing that annoys me most is that all the gear I have picked up was going to be installed next wednesday!
Not anymore.

But right now im looking for a cheap daily temporarily so I can get to my Car Painting course, then once a hatch pops up, its mine!

So im looking for either a KE70, Bluebird, R31 anything cheap to run for a little while!
