Coming along nicely mate. :good:

Congrats on the award also. Great accolade!

Thanks Mark im pretty proud of it.

although its rubbed some salt in the wounds. I couldnt even get the job I wanted when I finished my apprenticeship. I got given a position at a depot 90klms from home as opposed to 5 klms where I spent the whole 4 years of the apprenticeship. But that's state government run bull shit for ya. At least I got a job at the end.

My grill is ready to paint I think. I'm taking it down the panel shop this week to get that sorted. The mesh for it is in transit. So I might need some more tips for that when the time comes Mark

On Friday I had the chance to catch up with Matt from Kido Tuning, and how glad I am that I did.

The car is just so much smoother and easier to drive now. Right through the rev range it just wants to pull and pull now.

Matching the throttle and the clutch together on take off and gear changes is so easy now with the Dbw and anti stall adjusted.

I have only had one drive in peak hour traffic so far but fuel economy has already improved by 0.8L per 100klms so it will be good to see how it goes with my usual 1000klms a week traveling to and from work.

Matt made it a very simple and friendly experience and I would recommend this tune to any one.

Thanks Matt and Bryce.

My grill is in getting final prep and paint this week and my mesh has arrived.

Happy times

With a surname like that you should be rolling in a BMW or a panzer or something. Nice looking wagon all the same.

Na just lots of overtime lately

All the suspension mods were just a chain reaction. I bought the coils but then had a ball joint fail so I figured while everything is pulled apart I'll give the front end a freshen up.

I'll be pestering the painters this week for the grill. Im starting to get impatient

Hi Tom car is looking good, let us know how the ride is with the coilovers as I am keen also for a set :wink:

by **HoFF** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:18 pm

Will do George.

Coilovers arrived today.

Checked in on my grill today. It's all painted. Decided to colour code the whole thing. Looks great. One final touch up tomorrow and it will be back in my hands.

Pictures tomorrow

Hey mate, you aren't selling are you?

http://carsales.mobi/cars/details/?R=11948838

A very similar looking far here

by **HoFF** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:54 pm

Yeah that's mine.

It's was a half assed attempt to sell when I started my new job before I put too many k's on it. Financially it made sense.
But I'm keeping it for sure now. I really should cancel that add
