Envi really does suit the ef model!
I didnt really read what was said up top coz its 6am...but what happend to the side mirrors? why didnt you mask up the black and the front bar moulds, are they gonna be put back on?
SHAVED BOOT LOCK FTW! 8-)
You gonna tint the tail lights with a bit of night shade?

I think I prefer the mirrors fully colour coded, something a bit different. Same with the side moulds, once I saw the car sprayed with them off, there was no way they were going back on, it just looks so smooth and clean without them.
I had a crack at tinting the tail lights previously, they turned to s**t and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.
Thanks for the positive comments guys.
I've been at Tweed/Byron Bay for the week, and its been surprising the amount of looks and thumbs up I've been getting.... then you get some people who ask why didnt you just buy a newer car. They just dont get it lol.
Found out I'm speed limited to ~165 with no J3.. and its running so rich its not even funny too :(

i got that from so many people but at the end of the day would you want a new car or an older car that has been resprayed to the colour of your choice?
how many coats of clear do you have btw?
at work the tradsman told me that for full resprays he ussaly puts 3 coats of clear just for that extra gloss/shine.. i have 3 and i tell ya what when its a nice sunny day and im next to a BF or FG mine always looks better lol

Clutch is in, and F**k ell its a heavy biatch.
All my clutches have been stupidly heavy for what they were, and I have no idea why.... the heavy duty (xr style) clutch was heavier than my mates exedy 5 puck, which is the same as what I just put in my car...

I think the old clutch died because the sandwich plate thingo was put in incorrectly (by a mechanic), which allowed some oil to drip through...

Anyway any ideas as to how to lighten the clutch up?

Is the rubber damper on the clutch fork worn? clutch pedal return spring has too much tension on it?
