You know the car is louder than before and I've thought a bit over if it should join the car procession or if it would be inappropriate, but my stepmum mentioned that of course dad being an engineer and into cars so much that it is in fact entirely appropriate, as he'd want it that way. I'll be mentioning our shared love of cars when I give my talk of course too and focusing on the positives. As the funeral director bloke said it's a solemn enough occasion, lifting spirits any way you can helps everyone get through!To those who are as lucky as I was to have such a good bond, just make sure you enjoy it as you should. Not just on the scheduled Sunday coming but as regularly as you can. Keep building those awesome memories! I can look at the photos and smile even this early because of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic reminds me I must secure the towing lights plug properly, something minor we never got around to!We also fitted some DBA4000 rotors bought through Hiro and QFM pads to the car a while back for some better stopping power, future plans are for some suspension gear from Pat but the budget for that will have to wait. Cars eh, always something more to get I guess that's the attraction Edited 03/09/10 01:21 PM by -SteveR- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know its horrible but the funeral procession involved 5 or 6 loud WRX's running antilag! He had one of our other mates drive his car of course.Your car definitely needs to be there.

Antilag and all eh, good stuff I must clean the tips regularly. I have notied they are getting coated already but I assume it's the new exhaust burning off a bit? Have to get some good chrome/polish or whatever! The stock tip is pretty nasty but I blame the cops for that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
