My mechanic looked over my car today for me in regards to an oil leak I have (Rocket cover gasket needs replacing). Didnt mention anything about the air intake system being modified... Although I am 98% sure it isn't.

We need to go for a goddamn cruise sometime this week! I'm too pumped for that! It's hard for me to go on weekends as I work in hospitality. Regardless, I'll be there for the next one.

I get the quote for my mechanic tomorrow after she finds out how much the parts will cost. I'll let you know as soon as I do. I asked her for a ballpark today and she said about $150-$200.

Also thought I'd fill everyone in on some exciting news: I "blessed" my car this evening ;)

One more reason for me to move to Sydney :twisted:

Tash...walk outside....open the car's bonnet...take a picture...just a casual picture showing whats underneath the bonnet...don't have to look for anything specific etc....and post back. That should give us some basic idea of what's in your car regarding intake mods and strut bars :)

Only 5-6 years? Lol... That's crazy. Just to fill you in, my mechanic got back to me today. She said she can do the rocker cover gasket for $70 including labour.

Welcome to the club Tash!

Your GPX looks great, I like the kit!
No FTO is complete without a decent sound system, bet you can't wait to have that installed :)

Yessss I can't wait to get the sound system put in. I'm tossing up between JVC or Pioneer.
