I´ve been done some misc work with the car:
I also got a new camera from my girlfriend, so here is some better pix taken with Canon IXUS 105
Headlight tuck started. I just got the wire harness of. Ordered some different size and color shrink tube and a mesh guard. Still waiting them to arrive.
Have to do something to my register plate, that rattling doesn´t sound nice. (I covered the microphone with my finger so the subs pressure doesn´t sound too bad).

Felt bad to cut those harness, but i managed to mod the drivers side. I dont want to do a full wire tuck, cause my opinion is that if you mod those harnesses that stay visible to look great, they will look technic, which i personally like. Those headlight/headlight washers/horn/wiper harnesses i want to hide, so it will be easier to paint and keep the engine bay clean.
So, i modded the harness so the ABS-connector and tachotest connector will be under the carpet. I hope that the pictures will clear my idea, cause i dont know how to put my idea to words.
Here is allready some nice DIY:s to wire tuck, but if somebody wants to do the excact same thing as I here is some pics. So in this picture, you can see the modified harness. The upgoing wires are rewired to go BEFORE the rubber seal. You will need to extend 2 wires. I added one wire to this harness (hood sensor to alarm), so the alarm wirings will look as much OEM as it can.
I tested the wire route using orange wire mesh. Even this is not going to be visible to the eye, i dont want to use orange color, so this is just a test. Also, i´m ofc buying a rubber seal to the "wire through hole".
I dont have any mugen parts in my car yet, but i had to... This means that i have to buy something

Calipers arrived today. I spent the whole day scraching paint and rust off from the left caliper.
After 4 hours:
Red Duplicolor high temp brake caliper paint :
More scratching:
And paint:
I also polished those plates. (Before)
After installed:
Next things to get: 262mm/4x100 hubs, ITR 1´MBC + servo, EBC Greenstuff front pads, stainless steel brake lines to front, and Buddy Club extended ball joints.
