So a little while ago I purchased another 3sgte I plan on building, this will more than likely take the better part of a year or 2 to build it. Just buying little things at a time till I have everything and then I can throw it all together.
Here's the motor minus a few bits and pieces.

Finally got the cat installed today at men at work exhaust in capalaba. I would definitely recomend them to anyone.
Not the best photo but here it is.

I also picked up some MSD Blaster SS packs ill put in when the build is done.

AND my shine auto front lip arrived.
Just did a quick rattle can job and put it on to see how it looks, ill be getting the whole car re sprayed in the near future so it will be done properly then.

Finally got a high flow cat! Now I just need to find somehwere who can weld it in.

It's a venom 200cpi 3" inlet and outlet with 4.25 inch body. It's the largest legal one they make

That is an EXCELENT idea, maybe Walter will let me measure up his AW and I can make some for them too

That looks great man! Make a plug and play kit and I'm sure you'll sell heaps.

Now to get a light happening in the boot of my AW11

Update!

So I finally got around to fixing my dim boot light that I've been wanting to do since I got the car.
When I bought the car it had a LED bulb in it but it did a really poor job and the connections weren't good so it would flicker on and off so I eventually just pulled it out cause it was doing no good. I had an idea of putting an led strip across the back to light up the whole boot as I'm sure everyone's aware the one light off to the side is pretty crap.

Ill do a write up if its something people may be interested in doing, I know I personally am more amazed than I expected it to turn out.
The total cost was $13.00

Here it is with flash

Here it is without flash

Note that in the center it is a bit dark that because my carpet isn't attached to the car so it flops forward (another thing to fix) but once that's done it will be crystal clear all around.

Do you still have the front one or did it finally get sold?

-Totenkopf-

Nice looking strut brace ;)

Sold :( if it was still available it would be sitting in my car right now haha

Now I need to look into finding a front one I want the same kind so it will match, James where did you get them from in the beginning?
