So I bought some new lug nuts. Blackworks ones, a set of 20 black ones.

Blue painted lug nuts I tried

Now the blackworks ones

I've decided to go with the black ones.

Thanks man!
Wheel gap is a bit much for me but I'm going to lower the car when I put my new suspension in.

Thanks.

So I'm looking at buying some strut bars, and I figure since I'm not gonna be tracking the car or anything for now ebay ones will work.
I'm looking at these right here for $56 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/380313831180?_tr ... 198wt_1112
Anyone got any thoughts or comments about these?

Wow, I'm not gonna lie - those blue ones look sweet! They seem to colour match near perfectly!!
Black also looks good

I've got an extra front. Black ends, flat bar. My first mod

. Hurts just a little to get rid of it.

gunna have to do the rear disc conversion before summer hits! the rims look good, was having a hard time picturing them on your car, should go with the matching lugs imo (blue)

When the weather cleans up enough for me to put them back on I might to a video so that I can show the angles better. I like how the blue looks but the Blackworks lug nuts are just nicer. They appeal to me both in colour and how they poke out of the wheel. My camera is pretty crappy so it makes it hard to show what I mean but I'll post a video or more pics after the weather clears up.

I wanna do the swap before winter too, I've just gotta find the right donor car and the right weather for it. Suspension is priority one right now though. I'm just waiting on springs and strut mounts at this point.

In preperation for my trip to Red deer tomorrow i decided to try to put my stock rails onto my Protege GT seats. This resulted in a huge fail. I messed around with it for probably a good hour trying to figure out if I was missing something before I gave up.

I've decided to throw my stock seats back in until I either find replacement seats I like or if I can figure out a way to put the Protege GT seats in straight.
I've also started looking for some stock tail lights, I think I'm over altezzas now and I nite shaded the ever loving crap out of my stock tail lights hahah.

I'm very excited about something that happened to me today. My last tank gave me 380KM/35L which is about 25.4MPG and my current tank gave me 354KM/28KM(I had to fill up for a trip tomorrow so I gassed up earlier then usual) for a whopping 30MPG! I had been having fuel efficiency annoyances for months and it seems like my ECU just needed to get used to all of the changes I've recently done to the car(plugs, plug wires, intake, exhaust). I'm heading on a 284KM road trip tomorrow so I'll really be able to tell how my mileage is compared to back when I first got the car(315KM/35L or 21.17MPG on highway driving).

AND, does anyone know the gas tank size for our cars? I've heard 40L and even 50L but I'm not sure on it.
