Alright! UPDATE!

Here's a little listy of what's been going on in the last year:

---------------------------------------
INTERIOR:
---------------------------------------
- sound deadening removed from boot, and under rear seats (10kg saved)
- small oddities like cracked plastics replaced
- level 2 dashboard installed, odometer painstakingly adjusted to correct kilometers

---------------------------------------
AUDIO:
---------------------------------------
- new Alpine CDA-9883E head unit installed ($300), sounds a good bit better
- new 100w Sony 2-ways installed in the dashboard, to replace those cardboard craptastics.
- amp moved to the boot, to save it from sub rattle

---------------------------------------
ENGINE & BODY:
---------------------------------------
- windows tinted by tint professor (darkest legal) ($250)
- rear lowered to Kings Low with Pedders shocks ($50 from wreckers)
- front lowered to Kings SuperLow with Pedders shocks ($250 from wreckers)
- custom stage 2 shift kit installed with corvette servo piston ($150, favour)
- '89 VN chip installed, at greenfoam's advice. Little more topend
- cooler 82 degree thermostat
- custom cold air intake, made craftily from bunnings guttering ($20)
- nolathane swaybar linkpins installed ($50)
- trans cooler installed, keeps things cooler with the shiftkit ($50)
- 2.5" Supercat cat-back exhaust installed ($200)
- headlights opened up and detailed in gloss black trim (free)
- indicators opened up and orange reflectors removed (free)
- installed UHF CB Radio with UHF arial on the boot ($300)
- 15*7 genuine interceptors purchased, and fitted out with 225 rubber on the rear, for traction purposes ($250)
- thermo fan bypass switch installed - instant cooling!

she's running a low 7.3 second 0-100 pass at the moment, and I know she's capable of a high 7.2 - I just have to find the right night to get a good g-tech in. That 7.3 was passed before my exhaust and tyres :)

and here's a few pics :)

omg, shhhhh! if you make it sound easy, soon EVERYONE will have them :D

I love the look of the headlights now. Really mixes things up a bit :p looks even more hardcore without any lights or grille at all. :p

I'll get some snaps tomorrow of the car with the UHF radio antenna. Looks awesome ^^
