where on earth would i find one of them?

I'll just do a search for a generic LED 'red' light. Prob is they will have to be MSA approved i think.

Car is away getting FIA Multipoint cage welded in as of today

I have the BEST WIFE IN THE WORLD! She organised this for my birthday

Type 1B below.

I'm also considering buying one of those arch rolling things (arm with a skateboard wheel) to roll the aches, maybe even flare them to get some 225 tyres under the arches. Anyone got any tips before I dive in and wreck my lovely clean arches?

Nice build Ak, as for rolling the arches you will need to heat the paint before you start rolling.

A decnt heat gun should do the trick, just getting the right amount of heat will be trial and error

yup, had a look at some of the 'how to' vids on you tube. Rolling the lip on the arches looks easy enough.

Will just have to watch the suspension / tyre clearance etc with the tyres to. Guess i'll just have to try it an find out.

ordered some exhaust wrap... will get the downpipe done before it goes on, then do the headers at a later date

215/45/R17 Toyo R888's on their way

Went for the 215's for now to lessen any potential hassles with arches

wouldnt have time to sort it out!

My mate rolled his arch on his PS13 with a Scaffold pole and just drove forwards, came out perfect, we were cracking up

He has a view of 'don't give a fuck' though so you may not want to be so brave

That cage looks amazing, cool wife

Theres actually a video on youtube of a jap man doing it to his drift car. Shows exactly how to do it with no expense. Came out really well!!

another bloody surprise from her today...

She was kinda pestering me to buy another bucket seat - something i wasnt that fussed about right now

Turns out she's ordered a 2nd set of OMP mounts .... that why she wanted the seat

as the orig seat wasnt going to fit when it came back from getting the cage done!
