    I got mine from Strongs with Indicators for $250 I think it was with indicators and bumper support. Got the J's Lip free since Mark used my bumper to make the mold

    Thats Quite alot of "underbody protection" haha. Must of taken longer to clean the drive than the car
  • NZ-DB8RNZ-DB8R Moderator
    Sound like you are speaking from experience.
    Yep driveway took aaages and I gave up, lucky its been raining a lot so its sort of cleaned itself. Its my house so I didnt get in trouble though, GF just disapproved

  • rti intracrti intrac Senior Wagonist
    Yes I am. I took my quad out for a trail ride and got covered in clay. It was a mission to clean the drive after. With enough rain it'll disappear. Tell her its better than oil stains :P

    Test fitted my Facelift EF Bumper with J's Racing Lip today as I am getting the paint on the wagon done shortly. Gave it a rough spray with a similar blue just to see how its going to look.

    OMG! This Shuttle is going to look great with the new EF9 Bumper and paint!
  • NZ-DB8RNZ-DB8R Moderator
    Thanks!

    Sadly I cant afford a full paint job (have bought the house) but will get the bumper, bonnet, roof and drivers door done and hopefully it will be a good colour match

    You not gonna mount the bull bar?
  • NZ-DB8RNZ-DB8R Moderator
    Sadly no, I had it on for one day but I cant get in or out of my driveway with it on as the nice big gouges in the road can attest too

    Really nice work on the wagon love the build thread
  • NZ-DB8RNZ-DB8R Moderator
    ^ Thanks :D

    Ok who can see whats wrong here?

    :lol: Had been dragged off shopping with my GF and whilst driving through the city CBD on the cobble stones my brake caliper retaining bolt vibrated loose. On the way home we went via the beach and it was then I noticed a strange knocking noise under braking.
    A quick look found the caliper rubbing on the wheel under braking, luckily I had some cable ties in the boot!!

    So then we had to drive 80kms home (were in another town) using only the handbrake and the gearbox. I could have used the brakes in an emergency but didnt know how strong the cable ties were going to be.
    Luckily I have my old calipers so its just a matter of putting a new bolt in (and making sure its tight!!)
  • 666DAN666DAN Wagonist
    Thank fuck for cable ties!
  • NZ-DB8RNZ-DB8R Moderator
    You got that right!

    I was so excited when I pulled up that Repco was in the same shopping center (papamoa at that stage) only to find the building was for lease and the shop was long gone :(
    All good though, just didnt tell the Mrs that the brakes were held together with cable ties till we got home :lol:
  • 666DAN666DAN Wagonist
    Bahahaha I woulda done the same and not said a word to my Mrs either
  • SiRgeSiRge Wagonist
    The top bolt on my caliper fell off and it opened up when i was about 20m from going on a 100km zone. It opened out and made a 2mm groove in the wheel and lodged itself against it so i couldnt drive anywhere. So had someone directing traffic. Problem with this situation again was that... i was on a hill facing down... so couldnt jack the car up...

    im so curious as to what rims these are....
  • NZ-DB8RNZ-DB8R Moderator
    Your guess is as good as mine, all I know is they are from the "Nezart" series made be Work Wheels. Dont know the model, only ever seen one other set and that was on a Japanese Auction
  • SiRgeSiRge Wagonist
    They would look amazing with like a tiny bit more dish ;)

    Do it ;)
