Probably not the best idea to admit to having a punched out cat on an online forum.....that's a sure fire way to have an epa notice in the letter box lol

Meh life will go on :p lol

G-day all,

Wll today was a long ass day..... was up at 7:30, My lovly son woke me up :D.

So i got up 1st thing we did today was head off to richmond to get Ree's new tyres for her sexy 20" wheels. got home and put them on her car.

The it was my car's turn to recive some working on, so today i got the exhuast System on the car, Best thing is i dont have to change the tip as it look tuff and suit the car really well, Also got the Intercooler Mounted to the car...... so Come Tuesday i will be getting the paint to paint that and put it on. I have changed my mind from having the cooler silver.......... Im now painting it Black, only because the cooler piping will be black and ill be having red silicon joiners. and if i had a silver cooler it would look out of place with the black cooler piping.

Anyway here are some pic's for you all it have a sticky beak at :D Enjoy......

Diff droped to make room for the Exhaust System.......
