Well i have my fingers crossed that i should be getting the car out of my place and up to my uncles around late February, early March. But im relying on my uncle and im not too sure if i can really haha, he has already set 2 dates to take and and he has postponed both due to him having 'so many busy weekends' lol. but anyway id say he will go through with it this time, so when it gets up there i will be doing everything to it for rego, including whacking the 5spd in Quote: Originally Posted by danielh obsesv - How are you liking the sound of that exhaust? i couldnt resist the price so i went and bought mine on Friday cant wait to get it Yeah it sounds really nice, its not too loud but at the same time it isnt too quiet, it has a nice note to it, im not sure how much louder a set of extractors would make it but with the stock headers it sounds nice, they wont be staying though ofcourse! and thanks to -HOLDEN-, Patch, vldoser and JET-086 for the comments =] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
