Since I have owned it I have owned it I have modified a draw to suit the car (it's still a work in progress but it works for now) also has power to the rear with a switch board, lights,merit plugs and
USB power. I also mounted a uhf and a tablet in the car as a GPS and music hub.

Yea I was playing around for ages to work out a way that I liked it
.. it's also on rare earth magnets to it can be removed completely and all that's left behind is the hinges that tuck up under the stereo surround

Any chance of a pic of the hinges? Just trying to picture it but mostly failing.

Spent the last few weeks touring around the south west or WA , collie , Pemberton and yallingup region ... car performed awesome and made its way up and down some pretty full on tracks with no issues.

Today I fitted a chip it chip that I scored for $150 and a set of spotties I got super cheap as well Click to view larger picture
Chip has made a huge difference to overall power and response.
Have started to strip a console cooler I picked up that I'm going to transplant the internals into the existing center console and IL upload how that is progressing in the next few days

Not sure on the model but it's when they came with the egt gauge... it's on tune 5 at the moment which I'm sure is set up for a 3 inch exhaust which is coming soon

sounds like the one I have mate, have you put the egt guage on yet? I'm still unconvinced that mine is working properly to be honest or if it is then it's a bit underwhelming, you seem like yours is working well!

Mine Is defiantly working... huge response difference and a noticible overall power difference. ... I'm about to bypass the chip until I get a egt gauge on it as its pumping out smoke on heavy acceleration

The unit never came with the egt gauge as it was second hand

Yeah the older ones need you to splice 2 wires ... I think the newer ones are a straight plug in ... mine was straight plug but the instructions say to splice a few wires

Sorted out some new wheels ... there ssw cliffs had a fair bit of damage when i bought them from being driven on with a flat so i tidyd up all the gouges and scratches and painted them ... tyers are hankook dynapro rf10 resonably tame all terrain as i wanted minimal road noise ... look like a decent tyre and in a 265/65/17 the car feels and looks so much beter with this size

Looking 8-) mcnaughty, can't go past the black on white look, how'd you go with the cooler in the centre console, did you come up with something?

Na unfortunately that project has gone on hold as the internals from the doner were way too big to fit... havent given up yet just just have to cone up with a new plan/ parts to fit to it. Cheers ... loving the look of the black on white and the alloys
