Yea the zf isn't a cheap job and all these smaller thing just keep pushing it back.

Main issue now is I'm not sure if I'm getting done for speeding or not after getting pulled over on Wednesday night while rushing my bro to the emergency room. He managed to nearly deglove the back of his hand with a chisel (uni students should use tools lol)

Was clocked at 115 on an 80 zone but as soon as the officer saw my brother he escorted us to the hospital (5 minutes away) before giving me a stern talking to. He's noted it was an emergency but as it was on the cars camera it had to be reported. Fingers crossed his and my statement get me out of it without going to court or getting to much of a fine.

He's all good. Should have know better than to have one hand in front of the cutting tool, that never ends well.

Sounded like more of a formal warning, hopefully that's the case.

Got a new taller set of QA1 shocks installed in the rear end this arvo. They're the tallest that is possible to go with the setup but will allow the most travel, this was an issue with the last set.

Doing this raised the rear about 30-35mm so I've raised it all around. It has made a massive difference to the handling, a lot lighter through the steering wheel and better turn in. Also no more ghey scraping the front bar over speed humps.

I'll throw some pics up tomorrow.

Cheers Ralph. It's a farken money pit now that's for sure.


Is there anyone else out there that has gone properly wide with rims and tyres? I'd like to go 335 on the rears and 295 fronts, can't see the front really being possible without major guard work. Would be bitchin if it happens though.
