Well the wagon is %90 complete - got it loaded on the trailer 1am Monday morning and left at 4.30am to make the last day of ECM
Pretty pumped with the results!

Painted the throttle bodies today aswell - when i first bought theses, i didnt know what colour scheme i was going with - looking forward to the new look.



Also installed a new gear shifter over the weekend, unreal shifter! Great quality and worth every cent



Next event is PCM, booked in for a tune with Mark Sass @ Sass Automotive and looking forward to seeing what numbers we get.

Looking sweet mate, did you add some more hangars on the exhaust after ECM? Looks like they would have flapped around a bit.

Hahah! yeah buddy, amended the exhaust, that was literally made hours before loading the car on the trailer at 1am Monday morning to make it there Monday 7am, rookie mistake - was made on a hoist and soon as we went to load the car on the trailer it caught on the muffler, had to take the pipes off to load it.

We just finished building a tilt trailer and its all regoed so no problems loading it now and shortened the exhaust by 300mm so its not so far back aswell

Haha! We did look into a bagged trailer mate but just wanted to keep it simple and we built this whole thing for 2.5k

I plan on bagging the wagon too by the way, last priority though - more of a want then need!
