    Did a day trip down to perth to pick up a mates clubbie from a workshop and take it to another then came back to kal on the weekend. I got really good fuel economy on the trip and snapped a pic with 750 kays to empty!!! In other news, I got my a1rm brake pads from GSL Rallysport of the forum and put them in WOW what a huge difference they make! The big black callie actually stops as well as she goes now!!!

    So just got back from working in South Africa for six weeks, arrived to find some goodies waiting in the mancave/shed. I managed to get off a local (Kalgoorlie) for sale fb page, a 6 month old twin 3" stainless steel MANTA catback for $1000, love the savings over buying a new one!!! also had 6000k hids for the lowbeam and foglights and led parkers and two extra leds for the reverse lights, the exhaust took about twenty minutes and the hid/leds took 10/15 to put in... love the extra light and i can't wait for the kit for the high beam to be released!

    Next on the list is extracters/hiflo cats, OTR intake, cam, tune etc, just picked up from a mate a big sub box with three alpine 10" subs for $50 but not sure whether to use them or just get two 12"s, also have a bulk pack of t10 leds coming to replace all interior lights etc with...

    P.S. The MANTA zorst has a beautiful sound to it, actually sounds like an 8 now!!!
