    Well it was a 'headlights stuck open the whole time' kit because it did nothing haha. But does explain why the headlight motor button does nothing.

    It must have been adjusted to that position. I got my bro one years ago for his S13 and to be honest it seemed like a lot of effort for what it did to get it right

    I'm gonna put it back to factory settings. Sleepy eye looks good but in general i'll have the lights closed unless i'm using them.

    Small update on this. The car is currently in with JDMGarage getting the following done:

    1. paint roof and front bumper
    2. straighten up the panel gapping on the wings where they meet the doors
    3. Fit Japspeed Turbo Elbow
    4. Fit nice exhaust system with silencers (gonna be a daily for a bit)
    5. Change out the bent arms that were wrecked on the roads of clonakilty.
    6. Fit my nismo powerbrace (glorified tension rod brackets)
    7. Fix the pop up light retraction issue.
    8. Fit fan cowling
    9. Fit my new (new for me. they need a refurb though) SSR Mesh wheels (15x7.5 and 15x8)
    10. New tyres all round - 195/55/15
    11. Full suspension setup, tracking, alignment, ride height, etc. Fast road setup, not too low.
    12. Steering rack also needs replacing, so getting that done too
    13. fit A'Pexi air filter

    Hopefully that'll all be done this week and it'll be a lot more drivable.

    Meanwhile i've tidied up the interior which is now complete:



    Sorted out the boot. It used to look like there were bales carried around in it:


    Also fitted these badass 180sx mats (Nissan Prince Fukuoka tailored dealership mats) to it as i feel they suit the car to a tee:


    I've removed all of those stickers that daly put on there too... STORY OF MY LIFE... ya may take them off the twin cam before you sell that on to save me the hassle down the line

    NCT booked for the 5th of November... 1 week today... gulp...

    Cheers yeah I wanna keep it pretty clean but no point in going much further with the interior when the exterior is still rough as nails. The carpets and seats could do with a shampoo but all in good time...

    I've a nice head unit to go into it alright but that'll be an update in its own right. New exhaust is on, I heard it tonight it looks and sounds bang on. Lots of little stuff to do but rather than tipping away at it and making mistakes I've gotten someone else to do it. I'm going to tax it Monday. So hope to be driving it next week. New tyres are on the wheels.

    Itching to start driving it. I've never had a turbo rwd car (other than the e60) on the road.

    So we didn't make the NCT. One of the rear coilovers is seized and 3 lads and 6 foot bars couldn't free them. So I'm on the hunt for new/used rear coilovers.

    Also, while doing the 'easy' part, servicing the car, the oil filter was a pain to get off. Turns out it was cross threaded on there. So now it wont hold a filter and when it starts up it spits out the filter. Nice hatchet job by a previous owner. I hope to have a 'new' oil filter housing tomorrow. What a pain.

    The suspension setup and alignment hasn't been completed yet and the labour costs are mounting up. That said, I like to get things professionally done because it gives me the peace of mind when i drive it or when it comes time to sell it. I should just have bought that midnight purple kouki 180 that's for sale on here though. This is proving to be an expensive route.
