Got a box of goodies the other day and while im waiting for another box to arrive I replaced all my coolant hoses with a samco kit and the 2 plastic thingies with the water temp sensors .

gauge is saying its 3/4 full.its weird cause its the second time its done this.and at different servos

Gracias.

Needed to feel good about something after the crappy week I have had so I did a quick test fitting of my Oettinger wheels before the car needs to go back to the mechanic on Monday.

gringo, I had that problem with my old ute but only at BP service stations, any other brand it would fill up fine.

Wheels look nice. What happened to the front bar ? Looks like it wants to fall off.

Wheels look good. What size rubber?

Tyres are 225/45 17

They are Continental SportContact 2 but only have about 45-50% tread left. I'm very tempted by Nitto Invos as replacements but hopefully I will get at least 15-20,000kms out of these before I have to start thinking about replacements.

The front bar is a bit loose on the driver's side which makes it look wonky on the passenger's side. I plan on fixing that when I get a proper 4motion lower valance and when I fit the new headlights I am doing a bit of internal blackout work on.

These Oettinger wheels only sit an inch closer to the guard than the stock wheels but it's really noticeable. Looks nice.

went to another servo and put an extra $35.so yeah your right djorkboy.

I fitted all white LED's inside, gone is the orange interior look oh and the number plate light i just checked it now geez their

wheels look good mate,spray the centre white polish the lips and a good height adjustment and your bora will look sexy.

Gringo - i did my LEDs the other week. amazing change hey? and i was also super surprised on how bright the license plates are!?! its crazzzy.

Attempted fixing the illumination of the stereo screen...

Successfully removed the front of the stereo circuit board, removed the blown globes, and attempted to retrofit LED's in there...

Didn't work

Now I need to get 2 new bulbs from Jaycar tomorrow morning so I can re-assemble the radio / car before the missus needs it.
