Spent half an hour on the phone (including hold) with the NSW Police reporting that some arsehole stole my rear number plate last night. People are dicks. At least they put the screws back in when they were done, but this is going to cost me $100 to get new plates.

Automotive Plus fitted new slotted brake rotors front and rear, new EBC redstuff pads, and a new radiator. Stops well now, but the brake pedal doesn't travel enough to heel-toe shift as easily anymore :( First world problems.

Fitted my new 2.25" cat-back to go with my maxim works headers. I'm still running the stock cat for the time being (that's next).

Image

I had to remove the rear under body brace to get the stock system out, & then I broke it. :evil:

Image

Don't ask how I broke it 'cause I won't tell. It's too embarrassing, & no it wasn't a driving incident. It was a workshop incident. :oops: :oops: So now I have to get it welded up. Any one in Brissy handy at aluminium welding?
