Is there a driveway diagonally/across the road from where your car was parked, that now happens to have a car parked in it with a matching graze on the corner of it?

thought about that. scrape was towards the driveway, not away, so rules out someone reversing from it.

Hey Ryan, sorry to hear...
Panel damage, pain in the arse! Easiest fix is to get a sponsor and cover it with their sticker.... thats what I do!

haha Thanks Damo.

I'll need alot of new sponsors then. F bumper, bonnet, RH guard, RHR door, RH 3/4 and R bumper all have some form of panel damage. Roof and hatch could do with a respray, as 13yo clear coat + salty wind don't look so good.

Geez I have not updated this for a while.

Panel damage has not been touched.

Super pro control arm caster offset bushes (supplied by SP Bling (ta)) are in.

Nolathane front sway bar bushes are in. (Evil 3 hour job!)

949 Racing 6UL rims have not turned up yet. Grrr.

no good for me as their offsets are like +25 +15 +10. so just won't fit in the guards.

Fitted rubber grommets from clark rubber.
The old D2s had their own brake and abs line holders, but these BCs have oem brackets welded into the strut feet. So when I got the braided line done, I got the manufacturer to not put the centre line bolt that attaches to the oem brackets in.




Found the receipt for them, I brought them over 4 months ago. Talk about getter the job done quick! lol

Replaced the oil and the filer. Dropped in a new air filter. Old 3A Racing one developed a crack in the centre after 9 months. I didn't get around to replacing the fuel filter. I looked at it, decided it was too hard, and gave up.

Now it is time to fix all the body work / panel damage.
Front (as seen previously)




Side (easy fix)




Back (some bracket bent behind bumper)
