New Automatic Shifter
SP20 Cluster
Steering Wheel
Pedals
Interior Lights

Remove Granny Strips REMOVED
Black or Grey Surrounds for Headlights
LED Side Indicators
Possible Roof Racks
Possible Slimline Weathershields

Engine/Suspension

Cold-Air Intake (Completing this weekend
Possible After-market Extractors, but I'm unsure if it will do anything for an Automatic (advice??)
2"Exhaust through with 2"tip (Axle back currently installed)
Front and Rear Lower Springs
Front and Rear shocks
Rear Sway Bar
Front Strut Brace

Wheels/Tyres
MS-01S. Size will be about 16", maybe 17" depending.

I only have a couple of the front, but I'll take some on the weekend after I give it another clean

Samsara · 08-08-2011, 08:36 PM

Oh! I Completely forgot about that one! Thanks Marc

marcs_sp20 · 09-08-2011, 12:57 PM

You do realise the MS-01S came in 4 Stud?

Samsara · 09-08-2011, 03:27 PM

I was reading through it earlier this morning and found out that haha. Couldnt be bothered updating it, But I shall do it now

Thanks again Marc *thumbs up*

EDIT: Apparently the 4 stud aren't that common

Ice88 · 09-08-2011, 04:02 PM

Theres plenty of wheels that are four stud

Rota Torque make 4 stud wheels(15-17inch). Mazdaspeed wheels came in 4 studs mainly 15-16 inch wheels.

Honestly thats all ive really looked at as thats what im interested in

But i have seen 4 stud wheels around the place. (Lenso make 4 studs as well).

Samsara · 09-08-2011, 04:19 PM

Thanks Ice, I kind of meant that the MS-01S are rare in 4 studs... But I will have a look at Rota and Lenso and see if anything tickles me fancy

Rhys · 09-08-2011, 07:32 PM

I'm keen on losing the side moulds as well.. is it very easy? I'm sort of scared I'll have to respray the doors if I do it. =l

Ice88 · 09-08-2011, 07:57 PM

Theres a guide on the forums man

Heat gun and fishing wire. Use the same method to take off the badges

You just have to spend a fair bit of your day getting rid of the residue

Rhys · 09-08-2011, 09:23 PM

Sweet! Sounds pretty easy. I think that's now my new weekend project

Samsara · 28-09-2011, 10:17 AM

ok, thanks for the help frm Rhys and Ice88, my granny strips have been removed! Pictures to come in the next couple of days (after I give her a wash)

I've also taken the bong res off the bottom of the intake hose. Pictures to come of that as well.

EDIT: Number Plate frames have been removed as well

Samsara · 18-10-2011, 12:56 PM

I have my head unit, and the wiring harness I tried to buy on Sunday is now in stock, so I have to pick it up on Thursday night, and see if I can get Phill or someone on the bayside around to give me a little hand with it. Updated pic's to come soon!

Samsara · 18-09-2012, 05:12 PM

Clean_Cookie · 18-09-2012, 06:13 PM

Samsara · 18-09-2012, 08:42 PM

I think from memory you set the size the images display at in Photobucket, or maybe it sets them at the size you upload?

Clean_Cookie · 19-09-2012, 12:24 PM

You can upload to any size. These were obviously just uploaded really small. The gay Android app won't allow you to select the size which means I have to reduce them one by one on my phone which is an art, and annoying. Because I have a pro account, it makes the photos HUGE. maybe on the regular one it would limit it to a sensible size anyway!
