Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | $700? that is an absolute gift....the line on the edges is perfect, and mettallic paint ain't cheap.
BTW...no stone chips anywhere on the car?

| I do a bit of work for the panelbeaters who did the paint so I guess they were kind to me on price
I don't drive it a hell of a lot & it only has a few small chips on the front bumper & one on the rear door handle which anoys me lol
I did a 500km trip yesterday so blasted the cobwebs out of it. I took some back roads part of the way back so could unleash some full throttle boost passing unsuspecting motorists, including a hotrod & this idiot in a new Falcoon who thought he would try to keep up pulling up a long mountainous hill :P |

| I will be going down that route but haven't worked out the final configuration yet.
The forged engine is that the 3.9L one you picked up? Will probably redo the cams etc so would rather start with a stock motor. |

| Last dyno was 193kw at the wheels but could squeeze up to 215 now with the water/methanol injection depending on how much I want to go through. This is so far with stock boost.
....... oh & this would be with a retune to suit the injection of course. Even now I can feel it pull a tiny bit harder just from the cooling effect so would probably be high 190's.

| I think you have had this John, but I developed an oil leak & upon investigation the plastic Y piece that joins the blower oil drain into the two rocker covers split. While pulling it apart two nipples snapped clean off. Late Saturday arvo proved a bit difficult to get a new brass fitting & oil hose so I have a random plastic fitting & old hoses stretched tight until I can get a permanent relacement Monday.
Seems this maybe a faulty part with the 380 blower kits .......

| Yeah I've got sort of cheap arse plastic fitting in the atm, keep forgetting to grab a nice brass one.
I think I've now also rooted up one of my front coilovers. Hit a big pothole on our wonderful QLD national highways & now have a knock/rattle in the front end 
They say these Enkei wheels are strong & they are right, not even a scratch. I was expecting to see my poor $600 GTC01 rooted when I pulled over. |

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | yeah...potholes suck, I hit one near home last year and it took a $500 Yokohama tyre out, got a bubble out the side wall and completely stuffed it.
The ROH Flare damage too easily, you've picked good rims if they withstood that mate. |
