All Excited

[Rudiger]

Hi everyone.

I'm all excited. The transformation of family car to beast has begun.

I've researched and read and taken advice and over the next fortnight things will happen.

Started on Monday when I shed the bonds of the OE SP300 Dunlops and shod the girl with Yokahama S.Drives. Early days yet but beyond doubt the quietest tyre I have ever driven on. As for grip, well the preservative coating is still there a bit but the local roundabout down Old Geelong Road doesnt need opposite lock when given a bootful as yet, so dry grip seems good thus far. Many thanks to the guys at Bob Jane in Hoppers. The only guys that seemed to be non brand specific and really talked tyres.

Ordered a set of Bilsteins, King Springs and rear sway bar couplinsgs from Senna T from Whoesale Suspension in Sydney. He is shipping down to Melbourne and he was very patient with my emails. I didn't go for lowered springs as I like the stock look. Unfortunately they wont be fitted until Monday week, but I have other stuff happening before then.

Wednesday next week she is booked in for a Nizpro Stage 1+ kit. Read heaps and the guys with this mod seemed happy so I bit the bullet and booked her in.

Also going for he Twin Cat exhaust. May or may not opt for a fuel pump but I guess there will be those who will say I'm stupid if I don't so why not.

I'm excited the see the difference and hope to report next week that she is a different car (well once the springs go in anyway).

Anyway I am looking forward to joining the 300+ club. Thos of you in the 400+ club, well you can keep that I think.

Now if anyone has any moments of brilliance and think there is something else I should add, well keep it to yourself. After next week I wont have any money . lol.

The Nizpro one. Since they are doing the rest may as well fit their exhaust I guess.

And I am very much looking forward to looking at a HSV Snubsport and saying "Yeah right"!

Unless of course you come across one that also has money spent on it
