Not A fan of those Racing Dynamics wheels, but the Milli Miglia's don't look bad. K1's look at least as good while being much lighter.

Winter is starting and I'm slowly shopping for parts.


Euro tail lights :





Mint condition arm rest, mine is all cracked:





Front shock tower reinforcement plates:

Ambers > clears. If you swap please do the corners and sides, nothing worse than mix matched lights.

Not a fan of clear corners and sides they look ugly imo.


Back lights look way better in clear then amber.

Disagree about Ambers > clears... I LOVE CLEARS. But I 100% agree that if you do one set you MUST do all!!! Miss-matched just looks stupid (or you ran out of money)

Wrong armrest for your car. Original is nappa leather, that is not.

I know,


Planing on changing shift booth and handbrake booth with alcantara ones from rally road will also change the arm rest cover for alcantara one to match the mtech 2 steering wheel.








I absolutely want to keep all oem parts.


For the clear lights, it's a question of taste. I hate the 3 colour combo on the tail lights. But love the amber in front.








I actually find that clear corner lights look cheap.

Small order from ecs :


Emp stewart water pump





Ecs aluminium rad :




Mishimoto 66F thermostat.





Ecs water pump pulley :





Also picked up a cheap M tech II steering that needs to be recovered.











Alcantara removed :





Looking for a place to get it recovered in alcantara and make it a bit thicker if possible.

^ That taillight looks cheap as hell because it is. Chinese led taillights look hideous on these cars.

Do it yourself!



I got my cover from redlinegoods.com and then did the foam padding, gluing and stitching myself:
