    *UPDATE*

    Got my Duel fuel conversion on friday, 75 litre tank in the boot, gives me a choice between economy and power.

    Bought a headunit, Alpine IDA-X200 direct iPod control, for $200 (RRP $400)

    Getting it lowered fairly soon, going King Spring superlows, probably going to get it done at The Tyre Factory in Mitcham, around $350 including labour.

    Gave her a wash today, looks pretty sexy...

    UPDATE

    Well I haven't been able to lower it, I've had a few other things to pay first, and realistically, I might not even lower it until next year when I'm off Red P's and on green P's...

    Anyways, had my stereo all put in, took some photo's

    Also got a video of my exhaust up. its at night so you can't see anything but who cares, the sound is there...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5fxTT4xjUk

    Nice car. Mine is also a b148 and you'd agree with me when I say the colour is so much different in photos than it is in real life.

    HAHA you made my day, about 5 days ago i went into my local Holden Dealer and said i would like touch up paint for my ute over there (Ute Parked Outside). He said that looks like Botanica Mica and i said yeah im pretty sure it is and showed him the tag i had written down from under the bonnet (B148) and also the VIN for him to check. He said alrighty its a fairly rare colour and i might not have any of it and may need to order it in.

    30 seconds later and he said its your lucky day and handed over a touch up paint bottle of Botanica Mica B148 which had been there for a while and was dusty

    Detail is tomorrow
