    welcome mate,
    how do you like that winter weather in armidale?
    you have a nice base to start with there and i think its good not having heaps of cash to splash on the car straight away, it gives you time to research your mods and do things right the first time,
    and yeah country living(roads, wildlife and weather) can be hard on a car

      It took a little getting used to, but we had great heating at the colleges, usually in the form of a bottle of rum.

      you from Inverell mate?
      wish i had known last year, had to drive out to bingara a few times last year, epic roads, a cop even waved at me when i was perhaps a "little" over the limit.
      lets get a northen NSW meet-up happening next year

        Neat car mate. Stock like mine
        Howcome you're not running the type s boot lid? It looks like a base model spoiler on there?

            no idea boys, its how the car came. When the tints were being done, the guy said the bootlid had been repaired at some point, so im not sure.
            I didnt like it too much at the start, but now im used to it. Got no choice really, if I go back to the original type, there will be holes from this one, and i dont want to upgrade to the type R one, just think it would look awkward with my ride height

                Nice intro

                I know what car to look out for now in Tamworth... We'll have to do some Oxley runs!

                  Ah okay. Does the hatch still have holes from the old decklid? I'd assume not.
                  I've been meaning to fix the leftover holes in my hatch.

                    Ah, sounds fair. Better than the silicone + grommets I'm running

                      bought myself a 22nd present :P
                      Cr-Kai! massive massive thanks to gunpoons!
                      V-lip coming from the states soon. planning on a type R spoiler over the summer as well. seen some on ebay for 200 delivered, not sure about cost of painting. wish i could just have the trunk lip spoiler, but then i would have holes from this lame-ass spoiler

                        btw guys, little help.
                        lots of fairly loud squeaking noises coming from the back of my car for the past few weeks. now its constantly, when above 50kmh, and more so on bumpy roads.
                        could it be the rear sway bar? that got put in about 4 months ago.
                        or perhaps the shocks, because i can replicate the sound if i just push the car up and down with my hands
