Just some pics...

There's a cool old garage on scarborough beach road that i've always wanted to shoot. Its just been sold so i thought I'd get in before someone knocked it all down!

I just wish my car was in better cosmetic shape!!

I havent attempted any editing yet so the pics are just straight off the camera.

Nice pictures mate, looks awesome.

Gonna look back through the thread now, but are those rims different? Black one side, silver the other...

I could just be drunk.

Huge thanks to wade for taking me for a spin in this beast last night....
Noisy, stiff but oh so much fun!!!

[geoff_gti]

It sure is! I got a ride in it on the weekend as well


Stiggy - are you here on holidays or moving over??? Check out the cruise link below in my sig

[Stiggy_21]

Nah, just visiting my sister. She got transferred to perth for a while.
I'll be back in a month though!! But sadly without my car

A little update.

Went in for one last mapping tweak on the haltech on Tuesday at RPW. Nothing much to report, just smoother boost delivery and fuelling wich has ironed out the little dead spots from pulling down low, and he's managed to pull more power at the same time.

Official power is now 263hp at the front wheels, so thats enough now!! After seeing how the E46 M3 was really struggling to live with the speed or handling of the mk2 last sunday on the araluen cruise, I'm pretty happy!

I will need to isolate the air filter and sheild it from the heat as intake temps got up to around 60 degrees....

Anyways, its body and interior mostly now.

I know this guy who has a BMC CDA for sale, that would probably work a treat in your setup ;D
