Not really an huge update, but had a little fiddle with the height and evened it out, sits about right for me now.

Also got some braces on the way picked up from yahoo japan.




Car will be out on the track on the 12th May to have some fun

crkai are still not on, haven't got around to getting tires yet, and had an issue with the stickers - the 6 year old stickers dont work so well and wouldnt come off their backing sheet. (2 of the wheels came with stickers not applied yet). So I've ordered some new ones.

Yep I pulled out the sound deadning using some dry ice, then DIY resprayed the rear with pressure pack primer and colour to clean it up.

And yes, unfortunately the car is for sale. I have a new bought another EG project so this one will have to go. Bigger and better with the new car The new car is 4x114 so most of my wheels will have to go too. Might keep a set for a future shitbox daily but not sure yet.

Im slowly parting out a few pieces from the silver EG to put on my new EG, but the car is going to main relatively complete. It is back to full interior at the moment and surprisingly im loving it - so quiet and livable on the road. If i had the space I'd keep it as a daily. But i'll never park it on the road again as i had a set of 5zigen fn01r-c stolen from the car, so thats out of the question.

I was stuffing around in the garage last night and saw the opportunity for a cool photo before the car sold with some of the wheels I had stacked in the corner, so here is the result.

Thanks man, im going to have to resist getting multiple sets of wheels for the new eg, one track set and one street set will suit me fine. Its going to be hard with 4x114 though, so many nice wheels in that pcd that i might not be able to help myself

Getting a car ready to sell it is so depressing.



And a very quick shot of what i have been working on
