not a major update and its a little bit ricey cuz its not for the actual car but i have always found the foot wells way to dark so i decided to fix that along with my light on the ceiling



we put led strips under dash so when u open the car doors u can see in the foot wells as well as in the ceiling light


they are not as bright as they look in the picture it just looks it because my phone is complete rubbish


u cant actually see the led strips on the dash when in the car so it doesnt look tacky


we also put a switch on them so u can turn them on if you like with the doors closed

any one know anything bout the go fast bits (GFB) blow off valves....



i was driving down the freeway yesterday when ... "pop slap kapow bang!!!!" came from inside my engine bay and i freaked out



pulled to the side to find the spring for the blow off valve tucked away to the side of the bay the top screw on half of the valve dangling by the hose conecting it to the intake manifold and the piston from inside it no where to be found.... so somewhere on the free where i drove is the inside of my BOV o well....time for a new one



have any of you guys ventured into the GFB products ... the tial blow off is to big and the hks sounds like a canary ....


we have a GFB dealer down here thats a good friend of mine and ill get it at cost but i dont wana buy it and they are rubbish


I know the australians rave about them but i figure thats only because its an australian part

they are not big on our cars but i know they are huge in the subaru and evos world... the company makes them built as direct swaps for newer cars and i think thats where they are getting into the market.... in other words take stock one off and slap that one directly onto the old flange....

Please put a washer in your oil pressure relieve valve.. It increases oil pressure and should help stop your 5e spinning bearings.. I cringed reading your thread! It would break my heart to spend all that money repeatedly!

Project looks awesome though and fair play for sticking to it!
