Type 74 bulbs and installation is super easy, just tapping into the door courtesy light wire in the kick panel.

Just another update for you all,
Recently I drove from Sydney up to Queensland, the main reason for doing so was to get JoshuaM's Custom made exhaust system. From Josh's car I got: - JDM PROF. Muffler - Hurricane Headers - 2.25 Inch Piping - Upgraded 200 cell high flow cat ![]() ![]() Honestly, after the install I have felt a quite dramatic increase in power, especially at the 5s's torque power band. I am very happy with the end product! awesome sound too! Since returning, firstly I installed my #TeamPaulWalker decal since I'm a huge Paul Walker fan and am very happy to pay my respects to him ![]() ![]() The following day in the mail I recieved my TRD Rear Splitters, which I cut and polished and then installed, really love the new look they bring to the table ![]() ![]() So with this change I now have my SS-III Rear Splitters for sale, looking for $200 AUD OBO (not including postage) Also I picked up my Cusco 4-piece underbody brace, which I then got painted the same colour as my brake callipers ![]() ![]() -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

So my new tires are now on the car and handle corners amazingly well! Highly recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport 3's
![]() ![]() ![]() Also last post I forgot to mention that I was changing my fog light globes to a 3000K yellow rather than the standard globes. and this is the difference: ![]() You can't see much difference since this was taken during the daylight. Now next on the list is getting the guards rolled this week and then lowering on Tanabe Sustec Pro OC-II Coilovers with 25mm spacers rear and 20mm spacers front ![]() -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

Yesterday I drove about an hour to get my guards rolled, sadly took a little longer due to it being peak hour traffic and in a manual can really become annoying! When I got there the guy who was going to roll my guards had told me straight away after having a look at the passenger side rear guard, that it couldn't be done without the paint cracking due to the repair (seen at the start of the thread). The repair needed a lot of bog to be used to regain the original shape. Thankfully there was another suggestion for a little bit more money. And that was to get the lip of the rear guards grinded back, which is what I got done. This way the car looks even on both sides and apparently I'll have a little more clearance for the spacers than if I was to have gotten them rolled instead.
The guy did a terrific job! And I highly recommend John the guard roller to anyone in the sydney area. Most people would of just gone ahead on the job not knowing the danger. But thankfully John took care of the car and checked that out! At least I wasn't the only one with this issue since the guy after me had the same problem on the front guards of his Honda S2000. Here is a picture of the lip after it has been grinded back: (Also kinda a good advert photo for Michelin ![]() ![]() The difference from standard circled in red: ![]() While this was getting done it was also noticed that water was seeping through a tiny hole which I had also gotten patched up free of charge (circled in black): ![]() Now in the next couple of days the car should have coilovers on and the spacers, will keep the updates coming on here ![]() Just another small thing, to go with my Tanabe coilovers, I had got 4 custom made Tanabe decals (only using one for the upper rear window). And I got them custom made due to it being $20 postage from the USA for some reason. ![]() -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.
