Sweet work Kev! And well done on the award from adelaide!

Jeeepers · 23-03-2008, 11:49 PM

Thanx Steve.

Big thanks to Darren @ Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage. Firstly for having a great Easter sale recently, secondly for supplying a Force Lip at a killer price. And thirdly for having one in Narooma Blue and getting it to me lightening fast.

I was going to fit this lip myself, but decided to let my beater do it. That way I know it will stay there, and I have some piece of mind. Booked to fit tomorrow.

mmm mmm mmm looking good Kev

Jeeepers · 29-03-2008, 01:37 PM

Well well well, look at that. It's raining...... But I don't mind, the Force is with me. And this is one time I don't mind getting some Lip.

vandrsxr6 · 29-03-2008, 02:30 PM

Hehehe... I have actually ummed and arrred on this for a year. Then came the Easter special, and made it look more attractive. Then found out they had one in Narooma, so that did it. Wasn't keen on the amount of adhesive tape that comes on them, just didn't seem enough. Although it probably was. So I let my beater fit it, and he used some urethane for a bit more grip. The colour match is almost identical, I am amazed. I thought I might have to get it tweaked, but it wasn't necessary.

BLKPHN · 29-03-2008, 03:16 PM

nice stuff

looks exactly how my boot does but mines still not painted!!

Jeeepers · 29-03-2008, 07:07 PM

Cool Tristan, when will yours be on the car mate?

Mark^^ · 29-03-2008, 09:55 PM

Again, not sure how many times I said this, but your car keeps getting better and better Kev. That lip looks fantastic.

Thank you kind sir. Can't help myself with this mod game. Have a new contact for paint and body too. I hope to sample his handywork in the coming weeks. Lets just say some subtle accents on the finish for now.

Mark^^ · 30-03-2008, 12:00 AM

I need a new body, what does he charge to do a complete body transplant? LOL

DEVL-XR · 30-03-2008, 05:39 PM

Both the polished gear surround and the lip spoiler look really good. The back of the car looks mint with the lip and the quad tips!

XXRR-50 · 31-03-2008, 12:13 AM

Looks great Kev, the lip gives the car that subtle, but tuff look. Well done mate

Thanks guys, always did like these lips. Colour match and cost were the main reasons for holding off. If this one didn't match, it would not have been fitted without a touch up coat.

Hahaha, I think this guy only does bodies with wheels and paint.

I have a few small mods in the pipeline which will keep my interest through the cooler months. The next one is a BF XR fascia for the cluster. I grabbed one for a song off eBay. Arrived this morning, now I just have to fit it.

Maybe I should get some new plates, BA2BF

Jeeepers · 17-06-2008, 03:42 PM

Ok, got a little motivated and did the swap over in 35 minutes. God it was easier than I anticipated. First I removed the cluster. Lower the steering column all the way. then you have 3 upper screws and 2 lower (Hidden behind a rubber flap). Unclip the two connectors at rear, and manoever the cluster out.

Cluster waiting for a makeover.

First moulding removed, just held by spade clips. Easy to release.

Then the cluster window, same clip setup.

Then removed the second moulding, again the same clip setup.

Gauge fascia just lifts out.

Fascia then is removed taking note of the fine retainer lugs around the needle holes of the 2 main gauges.

Lay the new cluster face into position and reverse the whole procedure to the finish.

Jeeepers · 17-06-2008, 03:44 PM

It's in, and looks great. Very pleased.

Mark^^ · 17-06-2008, 03:59 PM

Very nice Kev...looks very sporty.

BLKPHN · 17-06-2008, 04:01 PM

Orsm!

Jeeepers · 17-06-2008, 04:04 PM

Thanks guys, been 3 months since i did anything. What a slacker.

**MR_LON** · 17-06-2008, 05:42 PM

not bad mate, the smaller XR is better

auMatt · 17-06-2008, 07:17 PM

Told ya it was easy as. Swing the car past when you have some time and I'll double check your calibration of the needles to make sure they are set correct. Don't want you to get a speeding fine

I have had one of these fascia's for a while but am too lazy to install it.

No worries Matt, thanks. I reckon they are close though, as the tacho seems to show the right revs at a particular speed. This based on my knowledge of my car.
