a set of these arrived in the mail today

Image

They are full HID projectors off a Lexus RX300 model. its also got the unit that moves the lights as you move the wheel.

The plan is to pull apart my current lights and fit in the projector unit, The quality of the the HID projectors is so much higher than the Halogen ones. This unit also has a different shaped beam cutoff..

If that doesnt goto plan i might run them in the foglight holes using a spare set of foggies i got in the garage :)

Hi Regie,

You will be very happy with the RS Factory Stage front lip. They are a perfect fit and in my opinon a better looking lip than the GV and SE lips. Looking forward to seeing yours installed as it will give me fair indication on wether to go side skirts on my car or not (I have them sitting in the garage waiting).

I might have some funky bits up for sale soon.

Im seriously considering puting the car back to stock. Im sick of the thing bottoming out on every hump and the harsh ride. Im pretty sure i will enjoy driving it more with stock suspension back i.

Stay tuned in the for sale section :P....suspension, wheels, bodykit parts etc etc

Roadster Love & the pocket rocket

While most of you were slaving away at the work desk yesterday (monday) my uncle and i got some mates together and headed down the coast for a lunch run. Its spring time so we have all got to take advantage of this sensational weather!
Also my uncle has just bought a NC a few weeks ago (minipete on the forum)

What a good way to enjoy a tops day by cruising down the RNP and stopping at Headlands pub for some S&P squid :)

anyways enjoy the pics...

mmmmm exige,

Would love to have a drive of one of those.

I can here the prince of lightness drooling from here. Looks like a good way to spend a Tuesday, better than stuck behind a desk.
