yeah, i saw that. just that i only wanted the SE lip w/o the front bumper (but think it has been sold since:). not to worry, i'm happy to wait and mod other stuff in the mean time :mrgreen:

I (with the help of my dad) changed the timing belt on my car.

Cool! Good Maintenance! And I'll bet a good learning experience.

Shamelessly copied KevGoat and replaced the dash lights with red T10's.

Thanks for the idea, Kev, they look great!! :beer:

Fitted dodgy garden edges to the front wheel arch to act as mud flaps. Hopefully no more stone chips.

Dropped it in to Automotive Plus to have major service done, and also a new belt buckle on trans tunnel and mod plate for seat

I'll be able to go past my driveway without bored local cops pulling me over.

Got to the bottom of my oil leak. My NA6 has fallen victim to the infamous head gasket oil leak! Its pissing out too so in she goes to get a new gasket and a freshen up.

Pics? Where did you mount it?

MINX fitted one a couple of years ago, mounted on the steering column - interested to see if you went the same way, or came up with something different?

Changed Oil and filter. Made a mess on my concrete driveway.

Fitted a turbosmart "boost tee" with about 9psi

Pulls much harder than standard.... probably put the flywheel kilowasps equal to what the japs and USDM got.... approx 9kw gain.

Took it for a long loop from Samford through Mount Glorious, Wivenhoe Dam, Somerset Dam, Kilcoy and then Mount Mee.

Yarra Valley > Healesville > Mt Dandenong > Olinda
Out and about with the missus since the weather in Melbourne was fabulous.

.. we were looking high and low for the entrance to the Rhododendron Garden, but couldn't find it. Ended up having Devonshire tea at SkyHigh Mt Dandenong instead.
