Cheers, really think I'm done with the modding on my RB. :wink:

Sentinal, just kidding. Although if I could have bought the RB without the sunroof, I would have. I rarely use it, and could have done with an inch more of headroom, not to mention the lower centre if gravity.

Really - I'm 2m tall and just hit the roof! You must be a giant!! LOL.

As for center or gravity, I reckon a decent lowering will have a 200% greater effect than losing the roof. Bit I get the idea you're a sarcastic bugger. LOL :wink: :good:

I'm 185cm tall, I guess it all depends on how upright you sit and specific body shape.

Me sarcastic? Never. :angel:

Was the Blitzen model available when you got it? Came out about 6 months after I got mine...

I bought my RB in April 06 and the Blitzen came out some time later, I can't remember how long.

I got mine in March '06. The Blitzen arrived in June '06.
White was my second choice, because I couldn't get a red...

I had the Vtune done when down in Melbourne for some other reason in February last year. At $300 or therabouts, I don't think there is a better bang for your buck performance mod to be had for the RB. I'm very happy with the vtune. It definately feels more powerful and revs out more. Although max torque is at the same revs, there is much more usable torque lower in the rev range. Throttle response is better (but could be better still). I get about 1L/100km better fuel economy. The engine also has a bit more growl to it, especially near the redline.

There is less headroom in the sedan to the wagon ;)
I'm 194cm and I didnt really fit comfortably in a GT Sedan - I would have had to lay the seat back to far making it uncomfortable, yet in the wagon I have a 100% happy driving position. Due to the differeing roofline, and different sunroof construction, pretty sure its about 20mm difference in headroom

The "kit" is not supposed to be back till Wednesday which is the Ekka holiday which probably means they'll be back Thursday. I miss them. :cry:

No, that's prior to the pinks. If your interested, I'll try and take some shots this weekend.
