    Kinda bored with it.. wouldnt mind moving onto another car.

    but at the same time, still playing around with the Senator.

    Been having a few issues lately with my stall convertor with it not locking up, jerking around etc its terribly unbalanced and is robbing the car of some power under WOT and the fuel economy is suffering on the highway..

    So i thought *** it and will be ordering a new Yank Circle D Billet Converter

    Nah i dont mate, and to be honest i cant remember what the car sounds like from the inside, been a while since ive driven it haha. But it is louder inside the car than what it was pre-cam.

    Also bought some pushrods for it the other week...
