Thanks for the kind words . As for the mods - NO!! They are all mine!! Bwahaha

The only thing that mod that I would consider going back to are the Espilier springs that I used to have on the car. Unfortunately sold them off about a year ago when I got the Eibachs. Best performance spring out there.

Good things:
- even drop, so maintains the balance of the car
- firm spring rates, which meant that the car would turn beautifully into corners

Bad things:
- linear spring rates, which meant driving around on rough Brissie roads gave you a decent massage
- the even drop meant that the car kept its a$$-high look which was none too flattering


E.G.T. gauge - exhaust gas temperature gauge. I am currently an O2 sensor bung drilled and tapped to put the EGT sensor into the bung at the front of my headers.

Scangauge - a small dashunit that displays data from the stock ecu and sensors, and does other funky stuff like calculate fuel usage rates and trip range etc. See here www.scangauge.com.au/ I want to get one of these moulded into my radio surround but need to find someone who works in interior plastics to help me.
