    thanks ebay. thule 38" wind fairing. came from states and so cheap so hit the buy now button. lol

    future plans:
    ef9 rear sway bar
    front & rear camber arms kit
    front & rear strut brace - i know i have one but i reckon theyr not stiff enough?
    get the windows tinted
    paint the bonnet/hood. - fade is really bad so im choosing whether to paint it blue or black, or cover it up with carbon fiber look vinyl/sticker?

    bro. i even searched on google what it means and it says:

    An expression to imply sexual arousal. Often used when spotting a visually pleasing individual and actual words are lost.

    hahahaha.
  • Enkei Racing S manong..

    thanks dude. i wanna put the bull bar but lip is on the way. ill use it someday. hahaha.


    i bought it off from a mate for a steal. $300 buks with 80% tyres on em.. i really like em swell, might paint the center piece gun metal gray or sumthng with a polished lip.

    it will be a long term wagon for me. lotsa plans with it, so ill def keep it. lots of people offering me crazy cash but wont let it go. cant find a shuttle beagle in this very good condition. lol.

    thanks for that geof (is that right?). im really trying hard on this straight but the ek just passed me without any effort. hahaha. i will be doing a bit more power on the engine next year when i come back from overseas.

    they'r pretty rare as, i have another beagle that i might buy so stay tuned for parts. lol
  • SiRgeSiRge Wagonist
    Yep Geoff.

    Buy my D-series stuff... or Chris will :P and you'll have to fight him for it
  • lakaylakay Wagonist
    nothing special.

    replaced my d2 adjustable suspension with BC gold br type ones. handle's better now. (sorry no pics of the installation)

    it was a good sunny saturday here at Auckland so i went to relax at the beach.

    chucked my stock rims until i find an adjustable rear & front camber arms

  • Looks great! Just need to get that bonnet done, makes such a hige difference.
    Should hit up grant at GTRefinishers, should only be about $300
  • lakaylakay Wagonist
    yep im saving up for the bonnet. atm, im wondering if i should do the 3M di-noc carbon fiber vinyl to cover up the ugly bonnet clear coat.
  • c-lowc-low Band Wagon
    wow thats lookin really good! i like those enkies
  • FATHOEFATHOE New Wagonist

    I vote just get is resprayed, will last longer and look better IMO.
    Make sure you keep the roof waxed to stop it doing the same, mine was mint when I got it but after 2years being parked outside roof and bonnet had faded bad.
  • lakaylakay Wagonist
    i work on a car grooming place so i usually wash the shuttle every 2 weeks and do a proper wax. she's been babied every 2 weeks. lol.

    attended the recent NZ Performance Magazine Hardpark Meet & Swapmeet. Saw heaps of nice rides and saw the guy with the shuttle with widened steelies (really nice looking shuttle)

    got some few updates on my shuttle recently:

    Panasonic 7inch DVD player.
    Recaro Seats off a Honda Accord/Torneo Euro R
    Nardi Steering Wheel.

    will post pics when im not lazy.

    just installed an Adj Cusco Rear Strut brace

    162.jpg
    Recaro seats off an Accord/Torneo Euro R. im surprised that i can use the OEM seat rails from my shuttle with a little bit of filing.

    163.jpg
    Panasonic DVD player so i can enjoy more my crusin driving. + Type R look gear knob & Nardi Steering wheel with horn button missing! hahaha


    no engine mods "yet"
  • Seats look great! Do you feel that they sit lower than the Shuttle seats?
  • lakaylakay Wagonist
    thanks andrew! umm i dont think so because i think i used the OEM EF seat rails? its so nice to sit on this kind of recaro seats compared to sr3 ones. i just need to clean the seats up at work to freshen up the seats.
  • Ohh right (hmmmm there happens to be a set of these in the shed, wonder if the owner will miss them....) I just thought the Shuttle base was quite tall/thick compared to other seats
  • SiRgeSiRge Wagonist
    ^ I thought the same.

    I want to sell my Black SR3's but unsure yet, might shove them in the shuttle for the lolz...
  • FATHOEFATHOE New Wagonist
    SOOOOOOOO DOOOOOPE!

    Its looking amazing man!
