thanks mate, it also make it much easier to do an oil change as it used to be pretty cramped to get to the filter

been a while since i've done anything, will be getting some new badges early next week changing the "turbo" from red to black.
i have a shopping list & hope to have these by the end of the year,
wheels...

the black inserts will be painted the same colour as the car

intake piping but with a polished finish


IC, will probably paint it black so it blends in with the black finish on the front

Hey Ron finally you're getting the dish mate! Doesn't matter if its not that big, any dish is a good dish! Very unusual rims, haven't seen them before, would look nice on your car, especially after painted inserts.

Welcome to the dish land!

Hey Ron,
I love what you have done to your XR5, i just bought a new black one with silver stripes about 2 months ago. i don't think i can wait till the warranty is up to do anything to it, you have just inspired me.

I will start a thread when i start doing some mods to my car.

Cheers Luke

well i got stuck in today & fitted the IC. prepped it up first as i didn't want to put it in shiny.
started like this & gave it a sand with some 400 grit paper

then sprayed it up so i still have the stealth look at the front

new v old

stripped the car down

the 99% finished job, just have to cover up the passenger side clamp & hose
