Moding My Car: Part 2
From Mod Mania
Moding my car: part 2, is a continuation of the modification of various different aspects of my car. This time round the focus will be both mechanical as well as styling. Some of mods that i am planing to undertake include; bigger brake upgrade, painting or polishing of engine (rocker) cover, halogen HID (4750K) globe upgrade, white LED instrument cluster illumination, 17inch rims and tires, window tint and eyelids for headlights. I will try to complete as many of these modifications as possible, depending on time, difficulty and funds. Already having an extensive knowledge of my car, some of these mods i can perform without any major help. Though for unfamiliar areas, i will look to http://www.pulsar.org.au and http://www.sr20forum.com The online forums provide various tutorials and useful information when it comes to moding my specific model of car.Pics of my carhttp://members.pulsar.org.au/profiledisplay.php?ID=8269
