Hey Shane,
Not much going on to be honest. It's still at the shop this week getting the exhaust fixed, tacho wired in an a few other little things to get it back into shape. Gonna go down this Arvo and do some laps for an hour or so just to get Km's up. Then once I get it back on Friday arv or Saturday I'm gonna go for a long as drive up the coast to clock up more Km's on Saturday night :)

I'll have pics soon.

Update :)

So saturday i towed the car off to get a wheel alignment. Then after that i drove it for the first time on the road :D :D flocked around with some mates during the day and then at night i went for a 2 hour drive in it just to rack up the kms. So happy with how it drove. Everything is working as its should and temps are where they should be.

Only issue is the waste gates isnt closing all the way meaning exhaust gases are getting in and out the screamer when not on boost. This is making it pretty loud but its not to bad. And there seems to be a fuel leak someone.. Its not visable so must only be vapours but thats something i wanna sort out to.

Other then that im stoked to be driving it on the street after all this time.. Its now just the wait till the 2nd of May for the first track day.

Looking pretty boss after a detail man. You sorting out headlight surrounds or leaving them empty?

Also, what's the latest on the paint?
