Fitted new white side light bulbs, new led number plate bulbs, metal number plates and gave it a wash... Lasted about ten mins before it rained lol
Well today i started taking it to pieces for the last time.
"for the last time" thats what everyone says
Well not today but for the last few weeks I fitted a HUGE turbo and spent the last few weekends fabricating a custom 3" exhaust pipe to fit and realised how bloody difficult it is to go big turbo with so little space behind the engine to work with. But finally it's all in and connected up. But does require a few tweaks hear and there to stop exhaust rattle on the subframe. Also a very difficult job was fitting a custom 100mm turbo intake pipe to the turbo. I will post some pics up very soon. But it's not finished yet. Car is running the standard map for now and it seems to drive ok but I will get it mapped very soon because it can't be doing it much good.
Just replaced the oil filler cap and coolant cap thanks to phillc also put some braided hosing and silicone hosing in
Just fitted the well known 3" Toyosports decat downpipe, wow what a difference! Feels like my LC180 is releasing The Kraken everytime I boot it now
When comparing the OEM downpipe, its hard to understand why VAG chose the small downpipe. Finally the LC can breathe

From my RR
bit of an update
plasti dip arrived
So i thought id giv it a go on the wheels.
my plan is to do a test coat to see how it holds up and im thinking of doing my whole car mat black.
As this is just a test & i am very lazy i have left the wheels on the car, and im spraying outside in the cold and wind so already i know it wont be done to a perfect standard, but like i said its just a test.
first i cleaned them
then applied a light first coat
then did the first wheel heavy and fast to see how it would come out
but did the other 3 properly and slowly built up the layers
then some water from the cleaning started to drip from the bolt cover & S badge and wreck the dip
but after i pulled the dip off the center of the osf i re did it and touched up all the others
then moved the car back and touched up all of the bits i couldn't see properly
stealth mode
it looks better on the car than in the photos, all thats left to do now is peel the dip from the tyres and maby remove the dip from the S badge in the middle.
*** i know it is not done properly or to any sort of special finish.
This is a test to see if it is worth doing it properly & might convince me to dip the whole car.
Most people use 3-4 cans to do all 4 wheels i used 1.5 so i know its going to be a light/ easy to remove coat and i still have 4.5 cans left for doing it better next time if i like it & it holds up well. ***
