Nice interior man what did you use to get the leather that clean? I have leather seats and there are stains on them from the previous owner so I dont know what made them. They look like dried milk stains because my mom hauls the grand kids around a lot and they spill milk and she never cleans it up. I know from personal exp it is the biggest PITA to get off, I dont think any amount of elbow grease will suffice. I have tried using maguiars leather cleaner and that has failed. Anyone have any suggestions?
just some generic brand cleaner and conditioner that was sitting around the house. no idea on the stains you have maybe someone else will chime in.
 
no offense but you need a cat back =] other than that looks good. i love your photographers angles especially with the carbon fiber interior
none taken :) it's on my list of 'things to eventually get' which always gets the back seat to the 'things i need to keep the car running' list.

both have grown quite a bit now!

gorillajin- car looks great!
 
Great cars, keep the photos coming!
It's been a while, so here are a few photo updates.

Just threw this on:

Here it sits with exhaust installed as well as original viking wheels with blizzak snow tires.

Carry on...
 
Not really many changes since I got the exhaust, just the front bar:

Quick exterior wash on a 60 degree day:

Touched up the grille since it finally started to chip in some places (pic taken before winter, grille painted about a year ago).

I should have a few more things to post in a couple weeks :cheesy:.
 
sway bar/anti roll bar, yes. i was just posting in a hurry.

i don't race or throw my car into corners, but I noticed a difference in daily driving and on a few long highway trips. feels more 'planted' in long, sweeping curves. also, i got the rear one almost four years ago and wanted the front one ever since.
 
also i don't think i've said this in the past but i have a fart can haha, heres a video of some light revs

Like mentioned, a different muffler might make less rasp and harness more of the 'grunt' these engines have.

Or just straight pipe it with a nice tip.

Nice car though. What did you use to lower it? I laughed at the bugs on the front bumper.
 
^^^ VERY clean. I approve ;ol;.

Haven't really touched my car much since I last posted here, except installing the winter set up:

Just refinished the vikings in some sort of charcoal/black. Same Blizzaks I ran for the last 4 winters. This will probably be their last.
 
how do you good are those tyres?

any probs?
Love them. Used to commute 180 miles a day through NH winter. Took hours in the snow storms but I never got stuck. Everyone else did, or flipped over into ditches. Great snow tire.

Only problem was I punctured a sidewall crashing through a fallen tree during an ice storm :nono;. Almost like a small tear with a slow leak (-5 psi a day). Local shop repaired it though, fine ever since.

Glad that time of my life is over...
 
Finally, after about two months of rain and a busy work schedule I finally took some time to detail the car a couple of nights ago. I've never cleaned a car in the middle of the night, but I think I got everything. Took these pics on the way to work yesterday morning.

Next mini project is to get that antenna to go down, or remove it altogether.
