Another update,

For anyone who has bought the replica glanza headlights. I've discovered you can swap the reflectors from inside your original units into the replica ones by simply unscrewing three screws at the back and transferring them over. Makes them look a lot more oem and probably increases light output with the original halogen bulbs.

Also this happened.

I'd been debating it for a while and was unsure because of how difficult these bumpers are to come by in original condition nowadays. Anyway I'd already hacked a fair amount off underneath for the front mount so I decided I wanted to take the plate holder out to maximise the airflow into the intercooler and radiator. I have always liked the look of the 96 spec bumper with exposed intercooler and thought whats the point having a great big front mount if the plate is blocking a lot of the air flow.

Very pleased with how it turned out, looks a lot better in my opinion and maximises air flow. I then bought a bracket so that I could relocate the numberplate to one side and got that all mounted up. Went for a smaller plate so that none of the air flow into the cooler was blocked. I may use a larger numberplate if I have any issues with this one.

Ive had my new 400 cell cat pipe made up by my local fabricator which allows me to run a cat in the exhaust with the new WEPR kit for emissions purposes.

Lastly I managed to get a really good condition interior light on the japanese auctions and I finally have a working interior light for the first time since ive owned the car. I put an led bulb in and it is suprisingly bright.

Been out enjoying the car again a lot lately and really impressed with the performance of the new WEPR external gate kit. I have put the 0.8 bar spring in the gate now and it holds 0.8 through the whole rev range perfectly. It feels great to have proper boost control on the CT9.
