Sounds good mate. Here's my plans -

: Exterior - get graphics sorted and perhaps some Yashio Factory smoked/red rear lights, paint calipers.
: Interior - thinking of dark gray alcantara/black leather retrim, dial kit, perhaps some taylored mats, carbon parts
: Power - EBC of some sort, possibly fmic
: ICE - sort out the sub and get it sounding decent

Think that's about all I have in mind at the mo, but I'm sure it'll evolve over time :)

first up is 4 new tyres......

once theyre all on im dropping her off to horsham developments next week for the following:

garrett gt2871r turbo and braided lines
tomei 1.8mm head gasket
tomei poncams
tomei valve springs
ths tubular manifold
exedy 'hyper' single clutch and flywheel and braided line
rocker arm stoppers
lightened pulleys and new belts
z32 afm
apexi power intake
remap
alloy radiator

thats the engine pretty much finished then apart from maybe an oil cooler, dont wish to take it any further as dont want to severely impair the reliability any more than already:)

as soon as it comes back the number one priority is brakes!!! still weighing up my otions at the moment but seeing as im not using it much at this time of year due to weather - its not a huge worry. then im gonna invest in adjustable arms all round and whiteline settings to finish up chassis wise, after that the cars finished. dont really wish to change the look of the car, the factory kit is very nice to look at, but im also looking for a new set of seats, something a little more supportive......

gonna be an exspensive year:eek:, but to be honest i spent about as much on my fto as im planning on this and for that i gained about 3bhp and better looks but sod all else...

1) get time to work on mine!!
2) get the audio system sorted. (it's going to be a lot more than just a speaker upgrade)
3) get the rear disks/pads changed
4) fit the braded brake lines
5) fit the braided turbo lines
6) paint my brake disk hubs when the disks are changed
7) buy a datalogit box
8) get my dump pipe and a hi flow cat fitted
9) fit my powerfc and get it tuned.
10) make and fit my fog light controller

Of course I can just about guarantee none of this will get done. Too many other things to do around the house first.

im putting together a guide at the moment on how to fit an apex carbon din gauge holder meant for s14, if you'd like i can take some pics and put it up if that would help.....i had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to do it as most of the gauge holders available are crap! it involves relocating the aircon and making a couple of little modifications to the back of the panel but not much work.

That would be awsome mate, thanks!

So is it not possible to put the gauges above the air con but below the radio?

theres nothing to support it from behind that way unless you want to use glue or lash up some brackets, too much hassle. if you move the ac unit the bottom lip of that stops the panel from falling into the dash. there are no brackets needed or glue or anything, it holds itself in place:D

ill try and put the guide together at some point during the next couple of days with loads of pics:)
