Lowpsi: I definatly like your car!!! I reckon i'm the biggest vl fan that doesn't actually own a vl, the whole concept of them just appeals to me, its like a poor man skyline (no offence or anything) but with **** all work to them you can smoke skylines and just about anyone for that matter! So its not gonna be ready til winter next year :-O That is a long time to wait ... I say that now but it'll probs be til winter next year by the time my car is sorted.
Good news on my rig ... Last night, a friend got the torana running again!!! I wasn't there when it all happened but at least its running again... Big thank you to Weller for all the help !!!!!!!! Gonna talk to TMS today and hopefully book it in for a tune, although i've heard they are abit booked out atm...
