I decided to finally get around to starting a log of my build. I’ve now had the car for 2.5 years (bought new) and my list is starting to grow. First things on the list were exterior/cosmetic. The end result after a few years will be full TT so I want to start preparing for that with things I can upgrade before or that need some break in period (differential, clutch, etc.). It would also be helpful to know things I may as well tackle when upgrading those items since it’s easier to do that sort of thing when stuff is already apart

Dat a**
First hibernation
First mod: cut down the bling factor on these headlights! Not too bad on getting them out..back in was a different story- at least for the drivers side one IIRC.
Ready to be sent off!
Aaaaaand they’re back! :happy dance:. I absolutely love them. Really blends with the rest of the car making it much more stealth looking. More to come later with the halos on.
Spring is finally back!
Getting a bath
GTR start button
FilterMag & magnetic drain plug installed
5,000 miles!
More to come...stay tuned!
