Well not exactly today but over the past couple of weeks I got new Hellas in the car, replaced some bulbs, and got the new hood liners in the car. Then put a new set of plugs and wires just because. I ordered some maintainance items and spares like DME, relays, bulbs, fluids, and a Motive bleeder for the brakes.

Tried plasti-dip on worn steering worked ok. Tried plast-dip on centre console. Not great. Fitted clear side markers, greased shift lever bearing and shimmed the pivot to reduce play. Fitted a shiny gold gear **** for all the extra hp. Started to make a list of bits to get zinced. Still waiting for wheels to arrive - I think they may be in customs Old wheels still haven't sold... so no money for tyres yet :S

Just put the 3.0l back in....try this again(blew it twice in yr and half!!), just waiting for 4" exhaust w/open wastegate and solid trans mount to finish her up.
I won't even attempt to list the mods to the car...let's just say after 4 motors in 5 yrs(2 stock and 2 3.0l) I'm up to $80g with motors, some labour for things I couldn't do myself, and all the mods.
I love these cars!!

Packed the hatch full of stuff because were moving. Does that count as a mod?

Took the car on a 350km road trip to a car show for the day. Flawless driving. Could have used a bit more hp a couple of times, but I'll get to that later. I'm very happy with the comfort of driving it long distances (so does the wife) so I get to drive it more often now!

Ordered some parts for an upcoming oil change, forgot to order some other stuff so I will have to make another order, but this time I'll add a goodie or two.
