    quiet you :P.

    seems the bolts holding my ps pulley on are loctighted in :/, making it a real pain in the ass for me to remove as i cant just put the belt on to stop the puley from turning. lol. ill sort it out though.

    other than that, i invested in a extractor heat shield, some heatwrap, and a set of msd coilpacks. now chasing a series two dfi module to suit.

    i blame the amount of time this is taking on aprentice wages, and the inability to say no to a good drinking sesion

    haha nah not denying its good gear, just heard from a few people, particualry after lowering, that nothelane rubbers be a bit too firm for everyday use. I considered them when replacing a few parts, but when for Standard ones instead..
