Hey guys,
not much has happened to this of late due to having heaps of work and family commitments however there will be a motor swap happening on this by the end of next month when an au motor goes in. This motor is going into the sedan i recently bought for the misses- then once we move back up north the sedan is being sold to buy a FG XR6. We have taken one (rental car) for a return trip of 1500k's a few weeks ago and was very happy with it then we went to the lions geelong game saturday night in brisy and managed to get the same car again. Very happy with the car overall and once the prices drop below 30k for one we like then we are buying one. Below is a couple pics of a typical hire car.

which black mouldings are you talking bout?
the cam was done the same day as the air intake- there was a noticable change in it- however the car wasnt running 100% before or after ( had a leak in the rubber line running off the injector rail) but yeah it is def better than stock. was a cheap mod and i recommend it but next time i will go bigger and run a j3 chip. Thats once i get back to melbourne tho. |

The black panels that i painted came up alright- I got the s**t and rushed it in the end but if i was to do it again i would prep the plastic better as well as tape up every single little piece where it could possibly have overspray. lol.

[quote=]Looking at the pics, it looks like it has ABS.
Cruise control will be an easy install as well.[/quote] my wagon has cruise, but not ABS. Same goes for the coolant sensor?
