Installed my new Joe Toth splitter! Fit nice, and I dig the look.

I moved him out of the garage so I could replace a spongy heater hose in my other vehicle. I noticed this when I was about to turn the engine off.

Kinda makes me sad.

After doing some minor jobs that needed sorting I washed the car today.

Took it out for a late afternoon blast with a mate so got some photos during a stopping point.

I'm very jealous of how nice the Euro plates look on these cars.

I've not really thought of that to be honest. It fills the space on the rear and front quite nicely Although normally over here people try and get rid of the front plates

Started to replace the rear shocks with bilstein hd's. Got the passenger side done. Couldn't break the bottom bolt loose on the driver side. Just gonna keep soaking it till I get more time.

After finally getting my torque tube bolted in correctly, I spent some time muttering and swearing trying to get my engine mounts to line up. Any tips for getting them right? They appear to be slightly too close together for the mounts?

The mounts are overlapping on driver's right, however driver's left is lined up about right

Some nice details on this car that work well with the colour, like the clear indicators front and rear and love the integrated splitter. Is the splitter custom ?

Thank you the bumper I bought from a guy on a forum over here who had had it smoothed into the bumper along with smoothing the washer jets as well.

I think the splitter is available from promax
