Thanks bud, nah haven't installed them yet, it's been too hot to spend the day in the garage dropping the steering rack etc to get them on.

Not looking forward to it thats for sure, prick of a job.

So finally got the extractors on yesterday, 6 hours in a 50+ degree garage later.

Exhaust has a much deeper and more aggressive note than the old cast manifolds, couldn't be happier with the result.


Next weekend I will install the stand up badge, if it's not bulls*it weather again.

Won't be much else happening for a while, driving it to Warragul and back later this month so nothing else will probably happen until I get back, regas and tint are on the cards.

+1 for dark tint, it looks sex on the vr/vs statesman especially when it's a white one.

As for your no ac pain, I feel you. The compressor just recently started pissing out oil and gas from the underside so I now don't have ac in my daily but at least most of the hot weather is behind us.

much class, very standing badge,
wow.

I'd love a standing badge for my land yacht, but I don't think they made a WK/WL style one - the WK/WL statesman badges are different and I want them all to match.

Decided to get away for the weekend, safe to say the car needs a good detail now.

at least you had fatish tyres when you went camping. corrugated dirt roads on the 19s did not feel good when we took the 5.0 to magnetic hill. that was on your land yacht springs too
