    No updates on her yet except she hit 60,000kms today
    Tossing up whether I want to lower her, chuck a CAI in, Catback on or get an xr8 bonnet.

    Also thoughts on debadging?

    Ill just run no springs :/ but I would be happy with 190-200rwkw.
    But the whole no turbo thing does put a damper on that


    Also today a bit of metal flew out of a trailer and smashed my radiator and power steering cooler, so not real happy jan.

    Didn't get plates or anything unfortunately, not sure if I should claim through insurance or not.

    Man, that's nasty. Does it hold fluids? How much is your excess?

    I'd cry if that were my intercooler.

    Mainly because pulling my front end off shits me to tears, it's a Commodore, those high quality bar and reo alignments mean you have to be fastidious (with a rubber mallet and rivet gun.....).

    My current whip until I get my car fixed, thanks to one of my mates.


    And pulled the grill out in prep for when I start pulling it apart.
