Hi. It was $269 for the first one, then 2nd one was an additional $259.
I might have to run the wire down on the passenger side of the car.

Steve,

The seibon carbon oem hood is actually lighter than the stock one.

Removed the 3M foam squares from my license plate last night. These are utter crap for exterior use. Not weather resistant at all. This is only after 5months



I used the black VHB 4949 tape on the rear license plate once I cleaned up the back. Stuck it down like an upside down "U" so not much chance of water ingress behind the plate.



Also installed my BlackVue dashcam too. Literally a 5 minute install. Didn't even need to use any tools.
Mounted it on the drivers side slightly. Here is an in-car pic.


Decided to put back and use my Seibon vents...

Wow I lovw this build. Interested in how you install the radio (dashkit, harness) as im very interested in purchasing one.

Car looks amazing.

Well.. look who got their BeatSonic side panels today :P
Looks like I'll be hitting the car audio shop "A-One Audio" in Perth sometime tomorrow. I hope they can squeeze me in!! I am very eager to see if the HKS works with the head unit!!

Some piccies as always





Comes with a harness too.

Only things I'm waiting on right now to be delivered are my COLIN TYC red tail lights and my Greddy x Rocket Bunny rear diffuser!

[deedz]

howd you manage to get the rocket bunny diffuser only? isnt the kit sold together or did you order from japanparts?

[stevo_12v]

Last comment is correct. Ordered from Japan parts. They said ETA should be late January, so I'm waiting in anticipation :P

Had my Android head unit installed today at A-One Audio. Must recommend those guys, they are a very good professional group of people.

Have been mucking about installing different type of Apps onto the head unit at the moment. Also been trying to get the HKS OB-Link to work with it via CarScope/OB-Bridge. No luck so far. Looks like the manufacturers have kinda neutered the BT on the unit so it can only communicate with phones. (Me and the installer at the car audio shop had NO problem getting our phones to PAIR with the Adayo).

I'm currently investigating the use of a USB Bluetooth(v3.0 + HS) dongle to see if that MAY work with it. The hard part will be getting the APK file for it(if it exists - as you know, most android phones already have bluetooth, derp)

Anyway.. here is a video I recorded 20mins ago

I think I have found my MP3 player!

EDIT: I am *NOT* using the above mentioned one. I put that post up BEFORE I tried it. It is damn clunky and only works with playlist files.
I just bought this one, Music Folder Player for $1.49 AUD off Google Play. And it is the BEST one so far.


The BEST part is that you play the songs via what folders they are in - the normal way.

*those stepped increment FWD and RWD buttons can be removed from the interface too.
*the slidey bar can be removed from the interface too. Very intuitive, just touch it to move to the song segment, no holding down and dragging.
*the FONT sizes of the text can be resized larger and smaller.
*you can REMOVE the 2nd smaller line completely too, therefore showing more screen real estate and showing MORE tracks.

Player is VERY GOOD, will automatically pause the track being played when receiving a call. You can also LISTEN to music while RUNNING the 'iGo' application(some map/GPS program - very similar to the one in the GTS 86 head units). Some of the other MP3 players I tested didn't allow you to run it concurrently with iGo.

Somebody kindly sent me these. One of the fellow 86 owners on our local FB group.

The CUSCO one seems slightly noisier, but has LESS vibration. VS's the WhiteLine being slightly more quiet, but more vibration.

I know this is quite old but after some testing and thinking I came to few conclusions:

1: Whiteline by it self does not offer any support to the transmission. It only helps with lateral movement.
2. Cusco, by the looks of it pushes the OEM transmission mount further up, so it makes the transmission a bit stiffer too.
3 A compromise would be to adapt the whiteline to fit the perrin transmission mount which I did today. It feels absolutely awesome. A lot like a race car. A bt noisy but OK.

[stevo_12v]

Yeah I saw your post update today on the other forum.

I was about to reply back with you about the vibration part of the car. I can live with a slightly noiser car, but don't really wanna sacrifice much in the way of comfort(esp little vibrations). Thanks for the feedback though! I was thinking of changing to WL KDT926/Perrin Stiffy combo when I get some more HKS goodies, but I think I will hold off on that. I think the KDT926 is pretty good, just wish the flat part of it was 2-3mm thinner, or at least as thin as the CUSCO blue washer - transfer less vibration)

Appreciate the review/test drive of that setup.

Question tho: do you hear much clutch plate noise at idle - or very very low speed?(ie when clutch pedal is NOT depressed)
