Ogee's Progress Thread
 

Hey guys, I've been a silent member on here for a while and i enjoy looking at progress threads more than anything else. Pics speak louder than words so here it goes...not much of a "build", but we'll see where it takes me.

Bought the car used in 2012: 2004 5AT (obviously Laser Red)

Great start!

Lookin good so far..

Great choice of mods, me likey!
 

Just a few more weeks and your LR coupe will be even nicer than before, good job Ogee! Don't normally like colored rotors but those look great! :biggthumpup:
Gary

Wow Ogee... One of the nicest LR's I've seen! Convoy mode scared me a bit haha how'd you do that? The wheel and Akenobo combo looks really clean. Keep it up!

Thanks guys i appreciate it, as for convoy mode I put my camera on a tripod and took several pictures of my car in different positions. Then in Photoshop i combined all the pictures into one using a "clone" tool.

How are u gonna know where the battery is now that u shaved them??

I'm still trying to figure that one out. :dunno: I might sharpie it on top of the battery cover to say "battery" and "brake fluid". That would look much nicer haha maybe ill do it with Crayons. Either that or take the covers off completley just so i always know where the battery is. I never thought of the potential problems shaving "battery" off could have. I'll talk to my mechanic about it. (sarcasm people...sarcasm...)

Just looking out for ya, I wouldn't want your battery to die and u not be able to find it..

Thanks man i appreciate it. My next mod might be to attach GPS to my battery so i can always track exactly where it is. Might buy a Chilton too hmmm....

Very good start Ogee! I love progress threads like these and can't wait to see your G after its visit to the paint shop. Convoy mode was my favorite pic.

Any performance mods in the future?

So do you honestly believe he'll forget where the battery is? :icon18:
Gary

.....lol^

Thanks! Yeah i'd like to do a basic spacer, z-tube or CAI, tune, and a Cosworth plenum is a dream but not anytime soon. First i want to get everything polished up and looking good before i make any expensive changes. Gotta "finish" my exterior first though lol. Gary, iv'e got a good idea where my battery is don't worry. If i ever loose it I'll create about three seperate threads (in the wrong sub-forums of course) asking where to find it though.

That post had 0 seriousness in it.. lol It was a complete joke.. Now if they both said battery then he would have to do the jdm battery mod and run dual batteries..
