Enjoying the Night Part II

Continuing on to the next location.

I found this car park place near wembley, when i attended an All Stars Drift Event. So i decided to give it a visit. A bit of a drive about 45minutes but it was worth it.



















Enjoying the Night

These update are fairly old now, just not had the time to be making live update posts, so slowly adding what ive done.

I had decided to buy some BC coilovers for the car, now for this part i didn't actually take many photos or any progress shots. So its just:






And then at this point i had already fitted my new Advans Gen II but didn't take a picture once fitted lol. But the night turned out well, i started using google maps to see which locations around my area would be a good start for driving and taking scenery shots and so.....

Carbon Slam Panel

JDMinG Update:

With the new respray and all the bodykit and extra bits added to Kuro, its bound to add more weight to the car. So to save weight and increase response time and fuel efficiency my new line of project is to be adding carbon fibre parts to the car.

First up is adding a Slam/cooling Panel. A Carbon Slam Panel for that matter. The purpose of these are to redirect the heat created in the engine bay and disperse it so the air flowing in becomes cooler.

D-Speed Side Repeaters

After having installed the flyeyes kit to my rear fog light, i also took the time to fit my new D-Speed Side Repeaters.

No more orange indicators, just some nice clear ones to match the car.







Flyeyeskit modification

JDMinG Update 

When kuro went in for a respray, i requested that my rear fog light reflector be left in the rear bumper as i wanted to keep it that way. I know most people would say oh you can just buy a rear fog light conversion into the rear tail lights. I have considered this option before, but insist on keeping it as it is.

As it was after the respray:

Having heard many FTO owners start to mention flyeyes kit i decided to have a look for myself. I watched the videos and saw some of the gallery pics and other peoples images of the flyeyes kit being used. I decided to order a set to give it ago. Seeing as i was only going to be using it on the rear fog light, it wouldn't be that hard to DIY, so great, easy job ^_^. 

£3.00 for a 30x50cm size black film tint.

Flyeyes Black Film Tint Install: Very easy anyone can do it. Instructions given
