Crappy parking lot pic, mods have been super slow these days.

 

Nice shot i like it. You can now upload pics to our ECS Tuning site per ES#. Love to have them. You have a great R53.

 

I'll have to check that out, thanks for the kind words. My car wouldn't be half the car it is without ECS tunings great prices, most of my replacement parts are from you guys.

 

Replaced the rear brake pads and rotors, quite sure the rotors were original, 130,000 miles. The rotors were so warped they were cupped.

 

Bet you it drives and feels much better in corners.

 

Bought a set of lightly used Conti pro contactSSR, 205/45/17. Not too excited for runflats but for $135 a set I had to buy them. Shouldn't be much harsher than the 40 profiles I have now.

 

Replaced my speedometer with a used unit from another 2005 that fixed all the electrical issues and gave me the OBC function! Ive put on over 200 miles and still no tamper light. Also took out the altezza taillights and replaced them with stock so i could get my reverse lights back. Tails will be on the marketplace if anyones interested.

 

I can't have stock so I'll add some tint to them later on.

 

Light tint lamin X ? Glad the tamper light did not show, thought it would.

 

yea ive got it bookmarked Really shocked about the tamper light also, i should have one at this point. If i ever sell or trade the car ill just inform the new owner they will need a new speedo coded.

 

Added some Ziza headlight bulbs to the low beams today, I have halogens so I thought I'd give them a try and see if they were any brighter. They are definitely whiter, but I'll need to drive around with them for a fair review.

 

Changed out my headlights today for a used set that's much clearer, the rings are off being painted. Having a hard time finding a good dark silver metallic match.

 

Clearer lenses and new bulbs are working nicely, a like the whiter light also.

 

I really like the Zizas on my low beams so I ordered another set for my high beams. Also ordered the Ziza led parking light bulbs. Also 35% taillight tints from eBay.

 

Had the Contis mounted

 

Sharp wheels, especially with the dark silver metallic.

 

thanks, tbh I really still want a set of web spoke style wheels... Maybe some day.

 

Also ordered these smoked led side markers;

 

Here's a couple photos just because

 

Here's a color comparison of the light

 

So does that intercooler diverter seal to the hood really well?

 

Much better. Very clear.

 

it's not a perfect seal, meaning there's a couple void areas. It does compress against the seals well though. I'll snap a photo of the sealing if possible.

 

Looking good! Heard it's been warm over on the east coast. Warmer than us in Cali! How has the ride feel been with the Conti Pro ContactSSR's?

 

it's been in the 60s here in WNY, which is amazing. I expected the ride to be quite stiff but it's actually not bad at all, might be due to coming from the lower 40 profile.
