thanks guys. yeah there was a guy selling them some time ago- 027spoilers i think his name was on t.m but like you said they vanished. Havnt seen them for along time. ---------- Post added 21-12-12 at 11:58 ---------- took it for tune up yesterday, guy did job of sorting few bits. vac hose i had running to map sensor was too soft and it was colapsing when hot and map sensor was failing. Changed to proper hose and fixed the prob. Set the timing as i didnt have a light and she seems ok.

well the tune turned out to be hit and miss. after driving her home, seemed to be bit slugish. map sensor and fuel reg were changed to different places, changed it back and shes fine again. otherwise im enjoying my xmas hoildays and doing a few bits of tidying up before Kumeu car show. painted the handles to match the rest of satin black engine bay bits painted Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mike was kind enough to give me a new years pressie, strut tower covers. makes big difference to bay, rather than looking at ugly rubbers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got Mobil client's track day at Hampton Downs just after Kumeu show, so I've got coils being custom built up during the week ready for punt round the track. $3500 worth of coil overs for free ain't bad aye, glad to be working where I do for a change. Going to take a lot of work to get them to fit, being a wagon. Not too bad though. Should look and handle so much better then.
