lip is on, skirts are now black. no pics because I'm usually pretty lazy with photos unless people yell at me
should be getting a fairly decent photoshoot done soon though

trialling things with the regu06 stuff, will need slight modification to fit, but should be worth it sound-wise
watch this space..

Photoshoot by whoooooo. I want one too Mine is on the 17th!

Does the sun rise in the morning? Does a bear shit in the woods? Of course you should organise something!!


Oh and in case anyone was wondering:

tune done by matt today
wow! bunch of observations:

much smoother power delivery. pulls way harder, even from low revs. and no jerki-ness from low revs either
no more running rich (so no more popping on throttle-off, not sure if ill miss this or not haha)
apparently i will get better fuel economy when i stop flogging it everywhere matt was saying down near the 6's on highway and city down towards the 9's
exhaust note is also a lot smoother and refined..
smooth idle now and lower
cruise control can't believe how good it is now!!!
full take-off and shifting at 6k rpm..the only word i can think of is brutal!! i shift pretty damn fast as well haha and it just kicks you in the back with each change

best money ever spent on car, undeniably

on the downside matt confirmed what i had thought that my clutch was slipping a tiny bit and is on its way out off to visit michael again haha

well sydney weather has been so shit / i generally dislike cleaning cars
soooo havnt actually cleaned it since i put it on
the matte hides dirt surprisingly well
not designed to need wax or polish anything like that, just whatever cleans the surface i guess
Really need to get around to it though, wheels are all matte now with brake dust

[bates91]

some latest photos from random quick impromptu meet with nigel etc the other night
car still dirty lol
