Welcome.
You had to go through "post approval" because you registered at the start of this year when we had SPAM problems. You waited a damn long time to make your first post! ;)
I've removed you from the "requires approval' group now. :)

I just got a set of Leather Door Cards for Christmas! and a set of new wheels, some old school Simmons 3-Piece OM16's :D

I got DBA4000's on at the moment, with QFM pads, will be going to Project Mu pads soon.

My original engine had suffered from head gaskets leaking oil, and eventualy coolant.
So I got Ray from Auto Racing Technik to do the work for me.
The heads were decked and increased the compression, the heads were completely rebuilt.
Got custom made headgaskets from California made to fit my heads, and fixed it all together with a sealing compound.
Now this engine will never leak again >:}

The car now pulls quicker, but still lacks that top end.
