Can't see enough pics with this setup, very inspirational.

Also the blue rocker cover and strut brace look great together.
Hero car in the making here, keep up the good work.
jk Yeah those dam 18s have been my most worried about part. I guess if I was to do it all again, 17s would have been my choice but I have tried really hard to make it work. Just needs more spacing in the rear and It will be where I want it. Cheers!

hey guys

this car wont be used anymore, seen maybe twice a year. What would you recommendations be for fluids etc. Currently it has water/oil, everything to start and go, but as said now I'll only be able to see it once or twice a year. Would it be better to leave water etc in or out? Factory everything 4g63 intercooled here.

Make sure it has good quality coolant not water. Oil should be ok to leave, some say add a squirt into each spark plug hole then put plugs back in. I would dump the fuel from the tank also.

thats good advice cheers, I didn't think about the fuel, has hardly any anyway. Is there an easy way of dumping fuel without taking the tank out again?

Only drain the tank if u want it to rust! A full tank won't rust...

But the fuel sitting will separate and turn to varnish. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Does fuel stabiliser stop fuel from turning to crap?
