Update time, while Bub & wife have been sleeping, ive been pulling apart and putting back together the seats out of the car

Rear Seats:


Fronts all done with scooby lip to be installed yet:


Fronts in:


havent driven the car yet, but got my driving position all set up, they are definitely nicer to sit on

Subaru lip should hopefully go on during the end of this week pending weather, and then after that I will grab another can of plastidip and spray some more parts black.

Marc, if you're getting plastidip and still on special I'll buy three of the cans to make it 4, in black satin preferred if it exists!

Will see how I go for time at the end of the week, all depends on how many cans JD Lighting have, we'll see

Nah havent watered the manifold down yet, actually I havent driven the car since the 20th, hahaha

the total 6 hours to remove and replace the covers was definitely worth it

Mazda 6 Lux sports rims go on next week, which are temporary for the moment, as I have another set of rims lined up to go on the car... yes Im just as bad as Dan

So, this morning tyres fitted & balanced to the Lux Sport wheels, and fitted them this arvo, along with a good hour of different driving styles (twisties, hard braking, highway & urban driving), and im impressed with these cheap tyres! Compared to the MPS wheels, the car feels a lot more balanced, a lot less bumpier, which is what I wanted

They are Rotalla F105, similiar tread pattern to the Yokohama Advan, and about a 5th of the price I did read up on them before hitting buy, and after my little drive, they are good for the money spent. This is the tread pattern:



For peeps that didnt see my photos on the facebook group, I took some proper photos (excuse the dirty as fark car - our driveway is muddy as all hell still )
