Thanks for all the comments guys.
Just a question though. Why do so many people love RHD? Is it simply because it's jdm?
Thanks for all the comments on the valve cover. I've had a lot of haters on my "home" forum. ozhonda. Like... HOLY SHIT MAN THAT'S GOING TO EXPLODE. Or "fashion over function".
I know most peoples reaction at first glance would be. Paper + heat = fire. But I think with the techniques we used it is fairly safe. Even so I keep a very close eye on it.
The cover was already painted in red wrinkle paint that I did a while back. I shaved the lettering with an angle grinder. Simply left the red paint on there because I figured it would provide a better surface for it to stick to. The glue is pva/water rather than traditional flour/water paper mache glue. It is then covered with a number of coats of clear acrylic.
I used paper with electronics equations and things on it since that is related to my degree/proffession.

Couple of random shots from a meet yesterday.
Plus the first of the parts for a bit of a brake upgrade. Endless SSY all round with RDA slotted rotors coming this week. Will put up pics of them when they arrive.

A few interior shots. Dosn't really show that much. But none of the larger angled ones looked any good. Dunno if these really do anyway.

Sorry man. I sold those wheels. Should take them off that list. They were gross. I think I only got $20aud in the end. I think thats about $12usd lol. They were just taking up space.
Thanks for the comments guys. The guage does read up to 9k. Not sure how much of the cluster is original. The tacho is kinda blue tacked in there. Dodgy work by the previous owner.
More interior pics coming soon.
In the mean time:
