thanks guys, its starting to make me want to get it running again looking at it in the driveway on the 19's i think it looks tuff as **** and now know im not the only one lol.

cmon man get a fire cracker up ya. this thing needs to see the road. so mint. spesh the new rims

Barnsey, how could You lose interest in Yours!!? That Berlina is mega cool, tuff, mint! Shaun, get Your Calais off defect and rego'd! The wheels look hot, are You gona put it through regency on them?

dunno yet man probably will. well car is currently in at work, have tested fuel pressure, all good. took my computer apart to find it full of corrosion due to water, then also realised that my new window was frickin leaking, got the guy out today to re seal it so hopefully now it will be all good. tried another computer and it seems to run better but still not 100%, also tried another AFM and it runs different but still bad. Also had to pull plugs out again and file re gap them as they fouled up AGAIN. smoke has died of now but still a bit when you give it a rev. am gonna try another computer as i dont trust the second one i used, did have some sign of water damage to. One big headache

well car is now fixed found all three wires broken off at TPS, so fixed them, and also went through checking the loom at the computer, checking all voltages and so on all ended up k after tps was fixed. started her up with brand new plugs in and bam no smoke on idle and no smoke when you rev it. changed back to my computer just for curiosity and it started running real real rough again, swapped back and its all sweet, so im guessing the major issue was the computer being damaged. i am so stoked, took it for a lap around the block at work and it was awesome until i blew a cooler pipe off again lol, so wil have to fix that then do the final touches to go though for inspection. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeeee hah! nearly there man. good sh!t

well got a permit to drive the car around to see if there were any more bugs before booking it in again, and the water pump which i fitted brand new when i got the motor decided to **** it self and started leaking out of one of the inspection holes, so put a new pump on over the weekend, new coolant and got timing spot on now. so should be ready to go through now, will ring up tomorrow on my lunch break and see when they can fit me in

car is booked in for this Thursday the 30th at 12.20, got permit today, have the time organized off of work, all that is left to do is swap to stockies, borrowing them off of a mate, that will be done the night before. another update just bought 2 more gauges for her. oil pressure and fuel pressure, 2 5/8 silver face liquid filled. to match my boost gauge that i already have. so hopefully all three of them will look abit better in the sunnies holder than just the boost one there. will figure something out to fill in the gaps around them to when i get them. should arrive late next week.

Get one off Jeremy @ Brightline. He makes them to suit man. Look mint!

you recon he would make them to suit the 2 5/8 ? coz they only fit in just and the front ring around the gauge sticks out, if that makes sense. i suppose ill just ask him

Yes, I bought one off him to suit 3x 2.5/8" gauges. Cost like $60 though.

yep ordered one yesterday. car is all ready, changed over to stockies tonight just in case they gave me any grief over the 19''s. car drove great today, no hick ups, so hopefully stays that way. am also current bidding on a late model calais dash cluster. lok much better than the standard ones

how'd it all go today. are you all rego'd up??
