    So i pulled the carbon wrap off cos i didnt like it, started to strip the whole interior out ready,


    Damn that sound proof is a pain to get off lol, but managed to do it after 2 nights lol
    quick lick of paint and looks good ready for the buckets

    Managed to grap a bargain on 2 Cobra Buckets which are like new

    [​IMG]


    I sold the runners and ordered some propper Cobra Mounts to fit a Skyline
    I also ordered a new set of Rota Grids and some HSD Coilovers

    Just a picture for good measure of mine and my mates Skylines ;)

    So got some tyres sorted and put them on the car, they look good just need spacers on the front and she be good


    [​IMG]



    Seat Rails Came too so put the seats in and some nice new Takata Harness


    [​IMG]



    After everything so far took it down to my local Drift Practice to see how she went being my first time too

    After the drift day i realised that the rear camber was way out after removing the Hicas, So ordered some nice camber arms to adjust it ready for the nexr Drift Days and also some 25mm spacers for the front which it sits alot nicer now


    [​IMG]


    In the mean time ive purchased a Roll Cage from Gav @ Kinzuru so thanks Gav and everyone
    So we installed it and i love it, looks so mean ;) only problem i had was that the door couldnt close lol so i had to take the door guards off (much more drift look) lol

    Late last night i decided to finally fit the FMIC, bit of play but we got it in lol Thanks to Gav from Kinzuru for sorting me out again ;)

    Thats all for now but i will keep adding to the progress, Lets see what everyone thinks so far :)
