Was finally not in too much pain today to slap on my new custom front swaybar

Quality gear from super pro...they have all the selbys moulds now so make great bars

Got a 20mm adjustable and have it set on the softest (19mm) setting as i dont wanna go too far away from how it handled previously (ie amazing!)

Went in with some new whiteline black bushes and swaybar locks to limit any movement

Suspension and drivetrain is pretty much done now....only things i am looking at is some more track oriented coilovers one day..but in no rush at all as the BC's are awesome

Now to get reacquainted with the old girl before this weekends event

Sorry been busy as lol

Was stupidly wet and i suffered because of it

Was pissing down and was rivers over the track that the A050s couldnt handle so had a few oh fork moments lol

Bought some new RE003s to use as wets now and as i only had the ku36s which arent the best in the heavy rain

So only came 15th overall this timeand was pretty sissapointed...but its all good as i learnt a heap aboutthe car in the rain and was pretty fun

Will do a proper update soonish

Gentlemen!!

Not much to say really? She has been housebound since mid last year due to pretty extensive and time consuming training at work and has only just been re registered and taken out for a drive this week just passed...after dumping 40L of "off" E85 and changing the oil and some filters

She actually failed the 1st rego check as a front wheel bearing was loose?!! It somehow forced the wheel nut loose due launhes i can only assume as the thing was new and dented hard and proper into the shaft....quick retorque and shes all gewd again

I missed her soooooo much!! Forget how agricultural and angry she was lol

Hoping to jump back into an event next month before our wedding date...if not itll be May at the earliest unfortunately

But yes me and the car are still alive and kicking...and are contemplating the HVC trip this year if work allows

And Luke...its super cute you were thinking about me lol
