mk5_tdi's build

[mk5_tdi]

Well been sometime since an update, Had a crazy bucks weekend on the GC for my cousin the weekend just past. However the weekend previous to that I participated in the Skylines Australia 2012 end of year annual show and shine (still a member after selling my skyline more than 2 years ago )

Here are a few pics people have snapped of the car, last pic showing the liners how to do lows









On the RS update, finally got my nuts and bolts but had to buy a new deflecting beam torque wrench as my old Kinchrome one wouldn't torque properly.
Also fitted the Gti leather interior, currently car is apart as I purchased a Kufatec wiring loom and heated seat control panel so I can hook up the heated leathers

Those the matching wheels man. They look simply epic.

Haha thanks man

However there are a few changes happening soon which will mean they MAY be getting sold, either way new wheels will be on soon.
The 17's I built are currently for sale as well as I've decided to go something a bit more OEM for the wheels.

Also I'll be changing my tail lights, had a moisture problem in my passenger outside one for quite some time and with no help from the seller of eBay I'm going to bear the cost and go something different, it has taken me a little while to get to the point where hopefully tonight I'll be making payment for them through the supplier

Also finished off the interior finally, tracking down a good condition armrest was a pita, no one had one at all
But it's all sorted and installed, and the heated seats are all hooked up thanks to the Kufatec wiring loom

Good to hear, man. We need to do a couple of shots together. Get those rockin' LED's going together.

Haha before I change them over? Will be sometime before new ones come in anyway (they are different to the Valeo oem led's)
Curious if you have thought on changing the lights to donut rings on the outside?

A few updates

Received and installed my new cherry red led's from JOM, and I must say they look great. Even though thet aren't the oem led's I much prefer these atm. These are a pretty simple fit, all the wiring is supplied to run the inner led's and the fog light and reverse light were easy to swap over by opening up the housings and resealing them with urethane (10min job). They also have built in reflectors so are legal for Australian roads, unlike a lot of the smoked ones

Had my rear valance painted leaving the center part in the black factory ripple finish

Bought and installed a hatch pop kit, parts from ECS and the shockers from eBay so costed me less than the complete kit from ECS and still works great, although a lot harder to close the hatch now

Had my more oem 18" wheels arrive and fixed of gutter rash and repainted

And today had my adapters from Adaptec Speedware arrive, so on Saturday I will be getting the tyres swapped over and then posting up some pics after I wash it. It's a very very dirty rear atm

A lot of updates there! Can't wait to see!

Got some updated pics while I was at my beach house this weekend, not the best as I was having to much fun with friends and didn't scope out some good spots for pics
however here goes

Had to hand roll the rear guards as I couldn't book a wheel alignment in time, however they came up surprising well just enough off a roll to sit flush with wheels now

Dude, those are looking awesome!
