EDIT: here we go VN V6 Dumped at cat. (I am putting a new exhaust on hence why there isent one on now )

[rch-13z]

nice work. Polish on your fuel tank still looks great.. So when you coming round?

[mischa]

lol, i painted it, its started to get suface rust and look's just as good now but i dont get the brag about it being polished.

You at mac fields yet? I would come over right now but im out of rego yestrerday

[HoldenManDan]

lips look sexy as man, in black they look tuff as!

What zorst you getting? Keep up the good work mate

[mischa]

Just your standard 2.5" single muffler

Got it today, put it on, and went to get rego. I let my mum drive seeing as it would be a good idea cause shes not on her P's less chance of getting pulled over/getting a fine. Anyway, on the way back from getting the pink slip guess who pulls us over!!! Highway patrol, lol, they told us to go stright home. I thought you needed to get a permit to drive it to get your pink slip

Anyway thats done, but found out my tyre was unrepairable almost brand new to, so i need a new tyre now $130...

[mischa]

Done a far bit since last time,

Got a new thermostat and replaced a few hoses and the thermostat housing. The old thermostat was stuck open, so now my temp is finaly going up It now sits on the 2nd mark where before it was always on the C.



Got new heavy duty link pins aswell, there like twice the diameter of the old ones!



Now have 6" in the parcel shelf altho there not conected yet as i think the stock head unit would have a heart attack, ill wait tell after chrismass where ill hopfuly get a new one.

Cant forget my greenfoam tune either

Anyway next thing im goin got get are some new strut tops, mine have seen better day's.

[JacksonVX2]

Hey there, those are some really nice wheels. If i read correctly, they are for a VX right? How much can you pick those up for these days if you don't mind me asking? I think they'd suit my VX quite nicely!

[mischa]

I got them for $550 including tires and a spare, tires where decent.

[HoldenManDan]

mmm what brand link pins are those? I need a new set before track day as mine are shagged lol. Not expensive are they? Much involved with installing them? Oh and you'll be pleased to know that new strut tops will probably lift the front off the ground a little bit

But good to see you're replacing all those little things that most forget, and it'll handle better too

[social]

ouh not bad for 1500 mate. i got a 5spd man conv in a wrecked commie for sale too lol but mines going for $900 hehe, good luck swapping the man gearbox etc in, keep us updated on how it goes + PICS PICS PICS!

EDIT: oops i seem to have missed a couple of pages lol...my bad

[mischa]

There roadsafe or something along those lines? was around $25, about $60 for nolthane. Dont forget your rear ones! Ive got nolthane on the rear.

Dan i want superlows now, i dont want it higer Haydz got some ultras for his front so i want his springs

Finaly got a new HU, now i can listen to the radio! Also got rear speakers, so now people in the back can hear music.




And a Calais Rear (i remember us talking about this dan ill tell you how i done it next time i see you )


Anyway i got say, $200 to spend for track day, i want to do brakes but dont know what. Rekon i could get away with some high spec pads and stock rotors? Idealy i want to switch to a V8 setup but i dont have enough money for that, yet, and when i do track day will be to close to mess around with the car Or i can forget brakes get some new strut tops and spend the rest on little things for track day.

[TVR-161]

if you can afford go for VP S2 brakes. otherwise just save it for the bus ride home and tow truck

[mischa]

VP S2 is V8 brakes

[rch-13z]

[Haydz]

look so much better without the spring insulators.

yours must have been much bigger than mine. yours has dropped heaps.

[mischa]

Went with haydz today to the wrecker's,
