    well guys i got sick of the SL tailligths so i managed to pick up a set of calais tail lights and center garnish, plus the bootstrip and tail light extenders for a good price so this arvo i put in teh taillights and garnish, its to dam cold in canberra atm to be out side so the boot strip will have to wait till a warmer day. but heres a quick pick i took of the rear end. looks much better IMO

    quick update, i was never very happy with the way the gearbox was shifting. so i took the car up to Race transmissions Australia in sydney they have confirmed that there's a few issues with the box so know its getting a rebuild to handle about 400kw so she should be near on unbreakable :-)

    looking forward to getting her back and taking it for a spin :-)

    Also if anyone knows of a set of Supersports or pentagon 20s for sale can you please let me know thanks all
