[l__i__l]

you didn't tell me that??

I suppose I will need to get use to it, just like when I get a new mountain bike and it gets its first scratch, I get so upset, but with time, as you said, i'll slowly get over it.

So I'm booked in to get all my work done on the 8th, I just can't wait. Hopefully if the mechanics free he can do it the week earlier. Me so excited!!!!

I really got to stop spending money on this thing, once I get all the parts installed, I'll wait till the end of the year I'll have to wait till the start of next year till I get kpro, RBC, IMG, cams, valve springs. I/H/E and all the handling mods will have to suffice for now

[plAythiNG]

U should track the car now n keep doingso wen u get new mods

Yeah once they're all done the cars definitely going onto the track.
What other things can I do to get it track ready? Do you suggest getting slotted discs like the EBC?

I've been sitting out the front of my house all day enjoying the sun with rolled darts and home brewed espressos. I can't see my mailbox from where I sit, but I can hear when someone puts something in as the flap makes a crazy whack.
Sitting inside and I hear it, I go to collect my mail and my ClubITR stickers are there, YAAAAAY, I go back inside, have a tug, then went and put the stickers on my car.
Come 2:30pm I hear something else in my mailbox, I go outside and check again and the mail man had left a "We tried to deliver a package but you weren't home" card in my mailbox, then OFF he drives quickly away as he see's me checking the box!!!! LAZY ****!!!! He did this last week as well, just left the card cuz he was too lazy to walk 10 meters to my front door.
Lodged a complaint with aussie post, seriously, how hard is it to do their job, it's not overly hard to knock on a door and deliver a package, it doesn't take brain power.... fkn lazy ****

just read that now

Same shit happened to me. I had about 4 packages arrive this week on different days. On all four days I've been home during the time period they marked down on the card, but havent heard a single knock on the door. In the end I got to drive to the dam post office about 30mins before they close to get my package. So yeah I support your complaint. lazy mother f***ers

[Peachy]

So yeah I support your complaint. lazy mother f***ers

I hope you complained too dude, they are so lazy sometimes!

SO today I got to drive the Teg on some wide open roads..... I never realized how well 3rd gear goes!!!! 2nd and 3rd gear are my fave, there's such a definite kick into vtec

Yeah north Melbourne Why do you ask?

[stevan]

Skunk2 knob is great, 440g, it's a little smaller then stock though. Looks great with a billet shift boot adapter.
