Pattax's BA Hatch.

G'day,

We bought this car about almost 10 months ago for $4000. It was bog stock everything. I aim to start playing with it a little bit sooner, I have a few ideas lined up which i've stolen from here and club323f.com.

I haven't done a whole lot to the car yet, but I aim to update with a few things I have in mind. This is what the car looks like now, minus the sound system, minus the stock wheels and adding the MS01R's ( will have updated pictures soon ) -

With the rims, the only photo I have atm







Current stuff:
3A Racing podfilter
Altezzas / beaver panel
MS01R's
CAI
Remote central locking with alarm
Immobilzer


Future stuff :
LED Brake circlets
Eye lids ( Very soon )
Lowering 30mm-40mm
Colour the headlights
Wire indicators to orange LEDS's inside the head lights
Bright LEDS inside the headlight ( parkers )
4-2-1 extractors
Cat back exhaust
Cams , Leads, Plugs.
HIDs
New tyres ( bit of road rash on the ones i got with the rims )
Stainless intercooler piping DIY CAI.
Powdercoating misc covers, parts. Or spray.

Waiting on china to send through LEDS.

I really want to get some money in hand for some engine upgrades. I'm getting some good ideas.

So did a couple things today.

Got around to installing my LEDS finally, wasnt as hard as anticipated, but took ages.

Baking headlights: About 100deg at ten mintutes did the trick, then just pried open with knifes.

Lined with amber LEDS and white LEDS ( Indicators / parkers ) with some double sided tape.

Drilled holes in the lamps, and fed the wires through to the back.

Cook for 10 minutes on 100 deg again, and voila;

Also secured the podfilter, and took off the wing.

.... and put it on a silvia
