And I think I got confused by some chingrish in there "change suspension spring".... I thought it was only 1. Doing all 4 is about 2 hours worth of work...
I have a set of droplinks .. Cost me about $100+ ... Will sell em on the day if need be..
I just had to add it ......

okay, so i've been told about the thread from lawso, but haven't actually been told anything other than its on...

i'd be totally up for this, and will probably end up driving lawso there if i go, but have to get out of family stuff first (nothing special... just a gathering)

the only thing i need doing to my car is need my boost gauge wired in. the pressure hose is already connected, but i can't see it at night courtesy no power :p it just needs to be spliced into the dash light wires (could be interesting...) otherwise i'll just be there to get my hands dirty and pull some cars apart :mrgreen:
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Well I did a bit of a shop today and stocked up on things I need for the lights :D
I have about 3kg's of bacon, 1kg of chicken snags, 3kg's normal snags and about 1.5kg's of cube roll :twisted:
I hope every one has got or is getting the stuff tomorrow they need for the weekend.
