| Been a while since I posted anything on here... maybe even years since I posted updates on my car? Anyways couple of up to date pics from visitor from AUS I've changed my wheels over from Racing Hart CP035 as I really don't like polished/chrome rims. I'm going for something a little "tougher" in the Rays Gram Lights. 
Have also updated the rear with Series 4 tail lights and GZA cleared rear reflectors 
And the front with a set of Nismo "Total Clear" corner lights with chrome bulbs. 
Engine bay additions include a Plazmaman polished power steering reservoir with Earls fittings. Only need single in/out as HICAS has been eliminated. I have also added a Stillen engine brace with bracket to fit with RHD. 
Apexi Power FC engine management has been ditched in favour of a Vipec plug in ECU. Not sure if you guys get Vipec? They are the same as Link. Really good ECU and runs things like VTC and Thermofans internally rather than through an external controller. Link make a really nice digital display for these that can do datalogging, warning chimes etc etc and features a number of user programmable displays. You can see I have installed it to the lower panel. 
Last but not least I have ditched the heat exchanger style oil cooler that I was previously using. While good in theory I found that in practice having the oil cooler in the radiator was causing the oil to heat the coolant not the coolant to cool the oil. Know what I mean? Solution was to fit a Setrab external cooler with a pair of SPAL fans to help suck air as it's located behind FMIC. Overall setup is controlled via the ECU and seems to work well!
