Small update.
@Sam_Holzmann 3d printed me a dome light holder since it bothers the fuck out of me that I have no lights in the car when I open the door at night besides the ones on the floor. This is version 1 and needs some modifications to fit well but it works for now! I also put some leds it it because why not. 


I also added a top windshield strip with the same wrap that the car is wrapped in. I dig it, although I did go below the "A" line because I think it would have looked stupid with how small it would have been at the "A" line.

Finally put in the driver side kickpanel/dead pedal that I've had sitting around since last summer. It required a little modification because of the floor plate.

 
Also got some new harnesses, the blue ones are fine but looked wack with the red steering wheel and white car lol.


super hyped on the interior again with the rear decklid and block off being complete along with getting those rear panels in earlier this winter.

Dude this looks so KILLER. 
TF you are killing me. I assume they are K6 or some reps then? They look identical minus the parting line at the base.

small update:
Installed the shift pin and detent pin repair kit last night. Then got the trans into the car along with everything I had to take off to pull it. The clutch works correctly now lol. So the car is back on the ground. 

 
Also I finished the Frankenstein mirrors that a friend from Instagram told me I could make. It's a combination of some aftermarket e46 base plates and a Nissan style mirror. He didn't want me to completely share his secret though haha.
Although these are proably a level 15 on a scale to ten for wrapping I still attempted it. Not 100% happy with it but I'd say I did okay.

 
And here's a pic installed on the car.

I really dig them, looks way better than the e36 M mirrors and more out of the box than e46 M mirrors.
 
 
 

Ahhhh the good ole build thread.  Been a very tame winter
I wasnt planning to rewrap the whole car but after a few panels we noticed my car has seemed to turn and orange color. So a whole re wrap began.
Not sure exactly why is changed, but i imagine the level of heat the rear tires gave off, the dirt build up after drift days, and the fact the I never took that great care of the outside are definitely factors.

Next, after burning up a ton of coil packing wires last year, @Tkuhn rerouted a couple things and make everything quick disconnect so if they burn up I can just plug a new set in instead of rewiring. Currently designing some clips to hold the connectors down.
 
Still fighting cooling issues, i finally decided to install an oil cooler with the s54 oil filter housing @DrLeadFoot sold me like a year ago. Putting the cooler in the brake duct/fog should provide the freshest air possible. 
Getting into 3D printing awhile back I designed and printed some custom ducting to get all the air flow possible. Pictures are of the V1.2 duct, V1.3 (last ducting picture) has been printed with small changes to make fit up to valance perfect. I have some plans for 3D printed radiator ducting, but those plans are on the back burner till the car is up and running.

Lastly, the whole kit on the car got fixed and freshened up along with ditching the IS side skirts I had on the car for something that a little lower. 99% of the car will be white this year rather than the white with black lower ascents.
 

They kinda look like ganadors! 

I have a very strong feeling I know what mirrors are!  I really like the way they look on the car.

@patsbimmer1 @Jdesign true Haha I'll have to order them either way cause I smashed the fuck out of them getting the old ones out 
And Jason that's not the worst idea Haha. We will see how ambitious I get.

I think it'd look nice and clean if you wrapped the reflectors to match the car, just my 2 cents.

We go often! Any of you are 100% encouraged to come out and check it out! It's kinda hard to get a pass as they sell out super fast but come to any of the Drift Days hosted by ClubFR and get some ride alongs! Final bout is also a huge event and worth coming for. It's only $10 for a pit pass at the drift day events!

This thing looks so bad ass.  I fucking love it!

UPDATE
Installed the Hold Fast steering wheel my girlfriend got me for christmas.

 
Wrapped and installed the rear roof extension.

 
And I am soooo hypeddd to share this with you guys, first might I add! 




 
Quite a few more loose ends to tie up but soooo excited to see this thing on the ground!

Piece of cake. 

Aight boyzzz. I devised a way to reset the pressure plate back to the install position thanks to a YouTube search. Some say to use a 3 jaw puller but the way I did it worked like a charm!
First step was to make a hole on my work bench and then support the pressure plate mounting spots. I used some m8 nuts. Next was to devise something the size of the throw out bearing with a hole in it to allow a large bolt to be put through the bench and the pusher (which I used one of the old shipping locks from the pressure plates with the tabs cut off). 
Here's a pic of the hackery I set up.

 
Then I set the pressure plate on the nuts, sent the bolt through the bench and set it up to pull the fingers on the pressure plate down. This is a pic of the fingers pulled down.

 
Once it's to a certain point you can move the self adjuster with a screwdriver. I moved it all the way back into the install position.

 
Then while holding the adjuster in the service position I backed off the pinch bolt set up and BAM! Shes back in the install position.

 
So I did this to both pressure plates and ultimately I opted to put the old pressure plate back into the car with the new carbon kevlar disc.
Here it is all installed back in the car, as you can see the springs are pulled all the way back which is how they should be.

 
Soooo I could have put the trans back in but I decided to not be a lazy sack of shit and I ordered the detent pin rebuild kit for my trans. (I totally forgot that they should be replaced when we had it out the first time.) Hopefully that shows up by the weekend so this large step backward can be done by Sunday night lol.
