got some more done. all turbo lines are on, exhaust is on, heat shields are on. thats about it, dunno what to do with exhaust, I had the stock dump pipe on to get through regency and this time i thought id put the 3'' one that i have on and now my exhaust is hitting the floor real hard so may go back to the stock one untill i can be bothered taking it to a exhaust shop.

Car is running and all good again. moved AFM into the cooler piping to, and now have no problem with it wanting to stall after backing off throttle. have to put a pod filter on still, had a bit of fun with it dosing lol. will hopefully be going back though regency this week coming as im at trade school so am near by.

got permit and car is booked in for 9.20 thursday morning. should be boosting for the long weekend ---------- Post added 30-03-10 at 19:42 ---------- took car to trade school today and drove there and back beautifully. also my steering wheel arrived today. no play in it at all which i was very surprised about. got it for $30 + postage off of ebay. interior is badly in need of a detail, will be done when the defect is cleared, along with a good wash and polish outside. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

goin down south rd corner of sounth rd and grange rd heading south went through lights (just gone amber) was doing about 30ks and guy was coming other way turning right. both didnt see each other as was traffic banked up and pretty much t boned him. he was in a old ford courier with huge bull bar, hardly even put a scratch on his car. i got no insurance yet either, no to worried though coz i only would have had 3rd party and it would have covered his car but his car has **** all wrong with it anyway. dunno what is gonna happen yet but i recon mine is gonna be a write off.

I find that hard to follow, who was in the wrong? If you weren't in the wrong then you've got nothing to worry about and the other bloke is going to have to fork out. Were you going straight and he turned? if so then he cut your path and therefore he is in the wrong whether you went through an amber light or not isn't the issue, he shouldn't have gone.

yeah he is in the wrong, hopefully i wont have any trouble with it as i had a passenger as a witness to and he was by himself. but the thing is im completely over the car at the moment. just lost all enthusiasm
