Was booked for a photo shoot Just over 2 years ago but my mum passed away the week before.And then I was ment to make contact with them to do it again,But I really cannot be bothered as it takes quite a bit of time.And now I really just enjoy the wagon for what it is.Rain or shine it is good just to take her out,It was in the unique car mag as missing about a year ago.(under the the ones that got away section) Cheers Marty

Yes i am going to put factory air box back in vl wider tyres on back then leave car as it is. Enjoy driving it etc. Cant afford to tip money into it and kep on road at same time so hurry up danny lol.

Turned out to be 7.5ks to the litre(21 mpg)About 2 tanks,Never let it go down below quarter too much.Really happy with that as I punted her along at times.Really hamered down with rain for a couple of hrs on the trip.But for the most a really good run. Cheers Marty

Hell yeah the wagon looks great in those pics! It's started! Car is now 3 months old, I think I did well to last that long Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks like a OTR.

new hat $34 to make Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Is it one of those hats with the peak on the back Cheers Marty Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice hat! Marty, the first mod was the Walkinshaw Performance trans cooler, but performance wise I've just started with a VCM OTR intake and basic maf tune. I'm going to do all mods one at a time so I can enjoy them, rather than the big bang approach which you get used to fairly quickly. After xmas I'll go back for headers and a full tune, and to get the King Springs I already have for it installed, (just need time to paint them black before install). I'm not expecting it to ride very well with just the springs, so will most likely put Koni's in soon after. At this stage I'm thinking about keeping the factory rear mufflers to keep it quiet and factory looking. I kind of like how most people think it's an SV6 with badges pulled off ;P I'm really impressed with the VCM OTR fit, look and performance. With it made in the same black plastic as the engine cover and with the optional side panels it really looks factory. I didn't do before and after dyno so don't know how much extra power it made, but seat of the pants stuff feels very good, throttle a lot more responsive and pulls noticeably harder

What sort of Kw are you aiming for??And I like the bit of a time approch.That way you know what was the best thing you did. Cheers Marty

Once the headers and exhaust are done it should make around 250-260rwkw. I'll probably leave it at that until my warranty is almost out, then I'll look at a cam package which is a fairly easy 320-350+rwkw

OK Keyboard warriors, new topic, how many of you are taking your cars away over christmas/new years? I'll be in matarangi soaking in beer and fish. in one of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boat...-460052003.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/motorboats/auction-460052003.htm) Anyone going to be down that way?
