So happy that the Eventuri Intake and Turbo Inlet Tube fits. Nil clearance issues with the Varis Arising-1 Evo Bonnet. The drive home was whooshhh~ amazing ๐
Stuck on a cheeky lil fuse cover from Create Carbon as well. Complements the CF accents in the engine bay.
Sold the GruppeM. So bummed out that it doesn't fit ๐ญ Hoping the Eventuri Intake fits, pls๐
Seeker Japan car seat covers finally on! I like how they look and it serves a purpose to protect the seats, considering I work in a hospital. The amount of ick...
Got a reply from Varis re: bonnet fitment / clearance issues.
Also, I found someone on insta with the Varis bonnet as well. They have the PRL intake and said no issues. Good to know ๐
On another note, engine bay looking good ๐ค
Hope everyone is well! Update ๐
Hit a snag. The Varis Arising bonnet has fitment and clearance issues with the GruppeM intake. The added bonnet vents, in particular on the passenger side, touches / will scrape the area near the logo, and won't close properly. It was suggested to trim some of...
Love the photos, keep the thread going ๐ ๐ง
Though I do think they are harder to photograph, there's just something so menacing and cool about a black FL5.
Same, looks good from pics. I went with a matching Js Racing black filler cap.
I was gonna paint the intake to match it, then realised how much the tongue pokes out from the grille. Opting for a gloss black instead.
Dream Automotive sells front and rear tailored car seat covers -> link.
Don't have them personally, but I know a mate who is happy with them. It sounds pretty particular to protect the car seats, but tbh I get it. I work in a hospital and the amount of ick there is... shudder to think about...
Happy Tuesday and Chinese New Year ๐
Finally got around to installing these aero guards, been too busy lately. Pry tool is super handy! ALPLUS provides OEM clips just in case๐
Other stuff ordered in the works:
- Seeker car seat covers (black edition)
- Js Racing valve cover
Scrape guard, install under your front lip/side skirts etc.,
Mesh provided by Varis is awful. Large holes, thin wire, flimsy. For such a premium product, I'm surprised they went with this.
1) Using the provided mesh
2) Other aftermarket mesh
Thanks for the welcome and support, FL5 fam ๐
Looking around atm. Toss up between Seeker Racing Spec or R1 Titan Extra, might see if I can hear them in person cos there's some in Melbourne. Each offers something different ๐ค
Yes, stock tires.
Have you tried SLIPLO? Someone mentioned it to me...
Are you in the Aussie Facebook FL5 group? Next meet ๐
Yes, stock. I'd like to lower the car a bit but can't due to where I live. The front lip scrapes every time and the extension lip would only make it worse ๐
