Funnily enough when the train got to Moorabbin we had to get off and catch a bus to caul field and then back on the train due to crossing works. The dealer found out we were on a bus and offered to collect us. Said don't worry it's all part of the experience and adventure much quicker and more pleasant drive home....

Yes, before dyno has been done. I dont have the results myself yet, but will post up all the results when I have them. If all goes to plan I will have:

- Dyno of stock car
- Dyno of car with sports headers only
- Dyno of car with sports headers and tune

Enjoy Jim. I can recommend the following procedure:

1. Sports exhaust on
2. Tunnel
3. Windows down
4. Right foot into the carpet

I was genuinely shocked the first time I did this.

Good luck with the delivery Jim... Great car with great colour combo... Make sure you leave two big licorice straps in the PCM driveway on the way out...

Anyone local interested in some 19's for their car. I'm currently looking at putting together a small GB on some 19" Forgeline GA1R's
