hey mate! it cost 510 to get it lowered

that's king springs front ssl

and reset rear leaves. the ride is a bit worse (but not as bad as I thought it would be)

I am just worried about this cv joint in the tail shaft.

haha yeah this north vs south side is funny as. where did it come from??

well what propted it was when I went qualifyed I was called redundent, and I have been in a long dist with my girlfriend who is going to uni in brisbane. so I decided to move up here to be with her basically lol. and work down home was very very slow.

I am happy as I have made the move, brisbane is a nice city and the temp atm beats down south lol. one thing I dont like is the 60kmh and 50kmh roads!!!!! sooooo sooooo soooo slow. I am used to gellong highways that are 100 not 60 lol. I am going to lose my ticket up here easy as!!!!

we all should go on a cruise some time, I would be keen as to catch up with some car enthusiests up here.

just run it down the 1/4 mile last night

it was a cold night but the humidity was 94% :0 managed to run a 13.2 @ 109mph with quite a bit of wheel spin off the line. should go close to a 12 if I remove the spare wheel tow pack and hard lid lol... but oh well I am happy with the result

BRING ON THE MODS!!!

tuned today by RDP and got a result of 361.2 hp on about 12.5psi. (32 degree day) completly stock with the exception of an airbox and k-n filter. could not have been happier with the service from lee and the blokes there at RDP. car feels alot stronger, love the gear shifts!! very very quick:) I cant wait to take it down the track again :)
