So time for an update, since 2011 i have repainted the whole car and mostly just maintenance.
My plans for the summer of 2013 was to get new rims and projector headlights.
When i got the projectors i had to open them, and change the light beam, which wasn't as complicated as i thought.
Was nervous over spending that kind of money and didn't completly know what i was getting into, but i really wanted the projectors, think they give the car a cleaner look.
And thanks to a good write up on how to change the projectors i managed to get
them apart and customize them.

For rims i went for The Rota Grids 17x9 et30 with 15mm spacers on the rear,
and for my opinion the fitment is just spot on.
Now i just need some good coilovers so i can adjust the height a little bit.
Now i just use the old rims for my R888's for auto-x and track days.

Took the car to a photographer and here is the outcome.



Really need to fix the seat :doh:

I've been looking into turbo setups, Has anyone fitted the variable turbo from a 3L d4d 120 Land cruiser ? Just started looking into it any suggestions would be helpful :D

Thanks man, exactly the one I am thinking of fitting to mine. I like the slightly thick profile, the wheel looks "useful" instead of just cool but useless

know what you mean, can't say these are soft to drive on but still very usable
