I got a call the other night "hey, hold on 2 seconds" So i instantly began to get pissed off because someones called me n told me to hold on, 2 seconds later i hear an engine start. Thats when it clicked must be mine God did it sound nice, so quite, no ticks, no nothing Woulda been ALOT cheaper to just to slam another engine in their, but atleast i know what my engines internals etc are like and know its capabilities etc. Finishing the auto service tommrow and bringing her home Turbo update Faggot from sherpparton never replied my emails, so im not bothering wasting my time / money with this clown especially when i require a courier to pick it up, if he cant even reply to an email, whats the chances he'll remember to be home for the courier.

Will take it back when i get the time i guess. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Wasnt a good day the other day for the vl, literally 6 seconds of turning out of my street, i got pulled over, and my permit had just run out the day earlier. I didnt have p-plates up either =[ anyway the cop wasnt a full dog, he only did me for the p-plates, so lucky i didnt have them up otherwise i can only assume he woulda had to have done me for the unregistered vechicle. Curse of the yellow vl's has finaly set in. Will get some pics up of the interior, complete with gauges etc. Looks tough Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Goign for rego on Friday, vic roads got no records of chassis or engine number for the car though, who knows if it'ls going to be a smooth process, the lady on the phone said SES or some**** might need to inspect the vechicle further. Anyway some recent photos, rolling on silver ceptors now too, camera left before we did it though =[ Boot job, looks nice and clean, cant see it well in the picture though, too much glare, need to mount the amp to teh back wall and install my free air sub.

Got her rego'd today, was alot easier then i thought too, they didnt look at anything besides body number and the build plate. And then checked they matched the road worthy, so all was well besides the receipt i had for the car. Just had to get a declaration stating i take full responsibility for the registration of this vehicle. Centre caps getting sprayed tommrow, will put pics up of silver ceptors with caps + with my plates on Lol some old guy offered me 5 for it as soon as i got out of the car at my mates. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

did somebody say picture? Both my babies I let my twin drive the calais as he payd for rego and ****. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Having a few idling issues, so; Installed new Iridium plugs today, didnt check to see if it fixed the problem as it started raining, 2 more to go. NEW AFM and NEW CAS + bearing + Plug on the way, prob take a week to get here =[ Chasing a cat convertor, so if someone wants to donate one that would be sweet, otherwise pm me a reasonable price.
