    As I said, always get injectors checked.

    Over playing with injectors so have told Wraith to leave it be. Stock is fine for now. Fuel rails well I'm ok with stock but he wants the shiny ones (at an extra couple hundred for parts). Probably cause I feel kinda bad that he has plans for the mx6 that have been put on hold for the clubby so trying to put a dampener on spending. Well that and xmas (kiddies weren't impressed when he joked about cancelling xmas due to car parts lol). Manifold should arrive in the next couple of days so everything is looking good minus a couple of small parts and hoses.

    Got my tint guy coming out this week too since passenger and drivers side has decided to lift in the middle. Got to love life time warranties.

    Hi Demonica.
    Just finished reading 35 pages of your build thread. I've enjoyed it. I haven't read many here. I wish my partner was into her cars like you are. That is very cool. ;)
    I laughed when I read you saying to the kids that xmas might be canceled due to car parts. LOL Mine are all grown up now. Still can imagine how that would go down.
    Loving what you're doing to the Clubby. Will be keen to see how things go once the manifold arrives.
    Your ride looks mean.. Watched the short video clip too. (someone had to give it the thumbs up ;)) Look forward to hearing it with the new setup.
    Keep posting. The more pix the better.
    Pete.

    This is why I use new parts, better in the long run. Better off saving for a bit longer, then you know it works or otherwise you have a warranty.

    Good news on the manifold, bout time! I wouldn't worry about the injectors much, even with the work you're doing I strongly doubt you'd need an upgrade.

    'Here kids, I got you car parts. Oh wait, you dont have a car! Hey wait, it suits my car! Thanks kids for the presents!'

    Most guys would want a missus like you Leah. I will one day convert mine! She's a project. ;-)

    Naww thanks Chris. You'll get there one day, plenty of years to work on her lol. Although car parts don't seem to cost any less than what most chicks spends on shoes and clothes so no win for Wraith there :p

    Well I had assumed the manifold would of been here today but nooooo. Sigh

    Definately. Especially since she is taking my last name tomorrow.

    Spewing about no manifold yet. Hurry up FFS.

    Maybe with the name will come the car parts. Could always sneak an extra line in the vows ;)

    Congrats :)

    An added line: and please forgive me for stupidly buying cars and/or car parts when I should be saving money.

    Money that was going to burned on getting the rails to work is going to go into the door seals as they are coming off. Drove it the other day and it bugged the heck out of me. Still need to source the middle roof plastic so the liner doesn't fall down. Tint is coming off the front windows so our tint guy has agreed it's warranty issue and will be coming out when the door seals are done. Will also be doing the Mazda so win win.

    Nah... But secretly she knows there many of those times to show its ugly face.
    She has had to deal with heaps of them already.
