Dark tints on this weekend for the windows (neglected to tick the B pillar tint option  :sad1:), but should be VERY dark.

Just caught up with this.  Surely tints only B-pillar back?

That's what I meant to say. :smiley:

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

BT?

Yep, eventually, once I know the engine can cope then it will be full steam ahead looking for a decent Big Turbo upgrade and complimentary software. :cool:

Hmm, what does everyone think about a black and gold themed car?

there is one 2008 subaru impreza wrx on westcoastcustom.com gallery. I watched that built on custom my ride program and the car looked mint but it was with matt black colour with orange/gold theme.

A quick update....

Fitted the Lightweight race battery today

Standard battery and fittings were weighed out at 15.25kg
Lightweight race battery and fittings weighed in at 7.3kg
A saving of almost 8kg.   :cool:

Looks like it was meant to fit there too!

How come you didn't just put it in the front, wouldn't it have been easier?

Makes room in the engine bay? Weight distribution? I guess there's a good reason behind it otherwise Hurdy wouldn't have done it :undecided:

Indeed, just curious what the reason is.  I'm waaaaaay too lazy for that kind of modding  :grin:
