    Yup sold it in June to a girl from Donegal, friend of Dori88 on here. Had an e46 for about a month and hated it so picked this up instead.

    Going arch rolling later on today in preparation for mega lows. I've since fully restored the headlights, removed the rear wiper (must get a gromit for it) and removed all the boot spoiler clips. I'm lucky duct tape is the same colour as the car, you'd hardly notice the hole cover ups ha! Still a serious stink for the inside so I need to whip out the seats and get them shampooed. Other than that I'm just enjoyng how smooth an engine the rb25 is. Is it normal for the temp gauge to take a good 10-15 mins to come upto halfway on the gauge?

    Bit of an update on this.

    She currently has a sheet of plastic as a rear windscreen after it shattered on me going over a level crossing near my house. Gutting to say the least, but Slithertooth has sorted me out with a 2nd hand screen and Liberty have agreed to pay for everything, the screen, pickup and transport from Meath, and installation. It was that or wait 6-9 weeks for a new screen from Japan from Nissan at €800 :O, that simply was not an option for me.

    I have these bad boys on the way from Japan off auctions, ordered through Jesse Streeter. Again this man is a legend!



    They should be here by the end of next week or that so as soon as they arrive she is being dropped on her hole. I've the arches rolled in preperation for that.

    I also fixed the leak in my boot by re-sealing the joint between the quarter panel and the boot frame. I've treated all the rust in the boot also and given her a coat of black paint so shes looking a nice bit fresher in there. I used a rust primer on the underside of the boot floor and given her a coat of underseal so that should hopefully stop it from getting any worse. I must check tomorrow and see if there is a leak around the lights because this is another common area for it to occur.

    I'd fecking love it! Pity tis so far away from me. Why is there no nice bits near Kerry!

    I also seriously want this lip spoiler. http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/j...ion/w109337818
    29,800 Yen which is around €220 plus the shipping and fees on top of that! Tis a bit on the dear side.

    Would you know of anyone that has a boot lip spoiler for an R33?
