Great shot! Is that what they mean by being in the right place at the right time?! (as if it was that simple

)

So. When will you be in Adelaide...?

Nice car Ajay, you just need a front lip. Yeah that last shot is good. Unfortunately my parts weren't in so I wasn't there, instead I was eating subway and it hailed all over my car. :cry:

You've done the smart thing and fabbed up the boot with the sub so you have some boot space. I've done the lazy thing and plonked a big box in the middle so you can only squeese things down the sides. It sure is effective though (10\" overkill)

How many farads is that cap? its huge.

sorry to hear about the car.. did it get damaged???

front lip spoiler is on my list after the seats and track day

im not sure of the specs of the Cap.. im not much of an audio person.. all i know is my headlights dont dim when the bass kicks!.. haha

thanks for the nice comments!

I'm not sure, if it was its not that obvious, it was just small hail.
Ah yes, seats and track day are better than a lip. I need one too but have bigger priorities. My uncle had to add one because when he supercharged his car he said the steering got really light bouncing off the limiter in 5th which it could easily reach.

Yeh my headlights dim, much less so when I put a cap in, it also sounded better, I had a 1 farad from jaycar.

Your engine bay is screaming for a turbo or super. Is that in the plans?

When my pulley comes in I'll register for the mania track day. Should be a really good day.

What do you mean by \"mine\" isn't that car yours?

Can't afford it? pfft stop buying bling and start saving for a turbo right now, as in tomorrow, its only $2100 for a begi S kit landed and a saturday's work, bling just slows you down, metal is heavier than plastic. Hey then you can take out your vacuum gauge, lol, and put a boost gauge. I like the gauge mount btw.

Once you go to a track day you will change your mentality and start wanting performance mods like removing all the weight you possibly can, brakes, sway bars, shocks, wheels, tyres, alignment, bushes, power, bigger brakes, LSD, stiffening braces, and probably in a similar order.

Will this be your first trackday on the 25th?

Hey your short shifter, how do you find that? I had one and took it out because it was too short and made it really hard to get into gear.
Also did you put on an oil temp sensor?
