Looking mint.
P.s keep an eye on that fenix in years to come. Mine is 4yr old and needs replacing.

That’s a worry! Hopefully it holds up, so far I’m impressed

Quick update:
- Replaced IAC valve & cleaned out my TB & area with Nulon top end cleaner - Seems to have fixed a majority of my misfire which I’m super greatful for.
- Replaced the heater tap again as it seemed to have split... again
- Replaced top powersteering Jose as the old one was clapped out.
- Replaced all of the clamps on my intake to proper T-Clamps which look so much nicer & have a much better clamping space.

Will get some photos asap

Front tyres were shagged so whilst waiting for tyres I thought I’d give my semi-slicks a run for a week or so.... think they are past their best days but damn they looked cool.

Photos of pretty Clamps from my last post.

Gearbox got a good service & decent decent knocked out of the pan - downside of daily driving a low car. All painted and prettied up.

Managed to get out last night & hitup ‘Feast & the Furious’ at Paddy’s Market in Flemington.

Still plotting along...

Hit up eastern creek (Sydney international dragway) for a crack at the 1/4 mile ... I could only manage a PB of 16.6 but it was a good night & its probably something I’ll do every 3-6 months for shits and giggles (white SS ran 12.9 & red one ran 13.1’s all night)

Also, my whitewaller has closed up shop so I needed a set of wheels/tyres without walls & these came up for $50 so I couldn’t argue (need 2 tyres & some polishing but they will do for the moment

Also have preparing the car for a track day late next week @ Luddenham Raceway - should be good fun... Softening up & semi slicks & re-doing the lettering on the tyres. Also replaced a couple oil pressure switch, front pads & general service & tighten up of suspension etc

Casual 6 month update:
- Car did amazing at track day in July
- After seeing photos of the car @ the track I cried about towel marks that showed in the paint & arranged a 2 stage correction (wowww)
- Got a new set of shoes for the old girl (HBD J series - never seen them come up for sale so I couldn’t turn them down)
- got a slight water leak somewhere, but I’ll figure it out eventually.

& post detail!
