Looking good mate.
So your running a stock setup atm? Is your engine just the standard N/A motor?
Have you driven it in at all so far running the high comp?

I love the sunroof, don't give it to nath give it to me haha.
I'm looking at doing to turbo conversion soon I hope, I just live on western suburbs, near infooroopilly. Gimme a yell if you ever want a hand on anything. O have a lot of spare time haha
