Sticker Design & Cut

Today's plan was just to get the design ready for the stickers. My printer wasn't playing ball, so I had to splice a number of a4 sheets together. Not Fun.

These are a rough layout of what I thought might look good. Practically though some of the designs are too intricate. See what happens later.

Anyway, the reverse side came along quickly with a bit of photocopy action and swap the NR-SPEC logo to the other end.

I finished quickly so I sat down and cut out the first one. One more to go then a lot of small stickers... Grrr.

Maybe the sticker cutter is worth it. But hey. I can say "I made em."

NR-SPEC Parts Arrived

My NOPRO Rear Under Spoiler arrived today.
I didn't get the instructions with my diffuser so I'm just waiting a copy.

This is all I need + some semi gloss black paint and I'm good to go.

ps... Clutch is still not perfect... Hmm, Clutch cover??? Toda has a Clutch and cover for about 500 clams IF thats what's wrong.

NR-SPEC

GT-Roadster NR-SPEC is here. The plan has come together. I picked up a Nopro rear diffusser very cheaply that should arrive on Sunday. I spent a couple of hours working out the final design for the side graphics and got the vinyl waiting ready to go. All I need is a few cans of matt / semi gloss black. and its all ready.

Check progress over the next few weeks.

Clutch Cylinder

The last thing I need right now is major car drama. I thought I'd left that all behind when I sold the FD.

Anyway. I got the master cylinder replaced. and the result...

As yet undecided. I need a long drive, but the feel is far from what I'd call consistent. Sometimes it's all there and sometimes not so great. Contact and engagement is fine. It's just the feel of the actual pedal....

I'm still leaning toward the idea that there is a leaky manifold or exhaust gasket cause it's terribly hot under bonnet.

Wait and see. I guess. a little time may tell the true story. But for now, hammer down!

Advan F15

Now this really is dreaming. These things are expensive. Forged Advan F15s are nowhere near as cheap as Rays. But the matt black on these looks insane. Recently I looking for sponsors. HAHA.


This BMW had similar 15 spoke wheels although not nearly as sexily curved. Probably OZ made. I'm dreaming in semi gloss black at the moment.
