Meet Mischa

[bensale]

Looks great! Although IMO perhaps a touch too low (blasphemy ) I think you need a roll bar now to complete the look you have, seriously hot car!

[CoffeeBoss]

Looking good! Add rollbar + offset = QED!

brown davis is on the cards.. hopefully Mr. Tax man can pay for that

mm.. rims would be great.. at this stage, i'm just going to sit back and wait till something exquisite pops up

Sliq, any tips on removing the old tow hooks from the front? I had a look at mine but it looks like I will have to remove the whole front bumper (its an NB8A though, so maybe different)

you will need the correct socket and a BREAKER BAR and plenty of elbow grease (silvermiata gave me a hand and he's got more beefcake than me).... for a couple of the bolts, they were too hard to get off, even after soaking them with WD-40. i took it to my local mechanic and he removed them for like $10, and it only took the time for him to jack the car up, crawl underneath and use his ratchet gun to get them out.. i'm guessing you can probably take them to your local mechanic and have them all removed for $10 , OR if you have a ratchet gun, that would make life very easy

Pussy, mine came off with my little trusty wrench

[16bit]

was it a 4 inch angle wrench by any chance?

Maybe it was, i cant remember ... i took them off so long ago!

[tuned_to_fly]

That's odd. Mine came off with a socket set and practically zero effort. I was surprised as being a massive 60kgs bolts are often stronger then I...

[sliq]

less is more.



i have deleted something from my car, and have placed something in lieu of it. first one who picks it gets a hi 5.
i decided to go for a minimalist approach to my car.. have it looking more "track-ready" street car.
apologies for not cleaning her up; i drove up to the hunter over the weekend and it was extraordinarily dusty up there!

i also had my hard top lying around for a while, but was never fudged to get it out and whack her on. i think mischa now looks complete. thanks to lightyear for the catches

[bruce]

Foglights. Little covers put in their place.

Bai bai foggies

2nd pic, car has epic stance. Looks almost perfect ... but you need less offset spacers will do the trick.

did you get a CF hardtop? i'd love to see one in person.

[sliq]

hi 5 to bruce!!

also changed my odometer light for a bit of wank factor:

[RG.net]

arent they orange from factory in teh NB8B? or are you talking about the green odo?

[Jeo]

Photo with the hardtop looks the goods. A nice set of wheels should absolutely set it off.

Is that one of lightyear's carbon hardtops or did he just supply you with some brackets?

[sliq]

mxhevn: just the odometer light. the tacho, speedo, and other gauges are standard factory.

jeo: not a lightyear hard top, but he kindly donated to me the interior catches which the latches "latch" onto.
