Cool. I was going to ask you if you've been down there lately and if you've seen my car, but now you've answered all that.

It is going to be so weird getting back in the Skyline. I've been driving an auto for the past 6 weeks (that has no power), so a manual is going to be weird again. Looking forward to the power too. I'm going to go through so much petrol the first few days that i get it back.

lol i was exactly the same... at least tho i got to drive mine during this wait... even tho it isnt ready i took it a few times for a spin and oh my god it was like i got a brand new car forgot how good they are to drive... almost killed my gearbox twice tho putting the car into reverse caause i forgot i was driving a manual

[Arsn]

hehehe. I'm getting a bigger exhaust put on as well so there will be a bit more power to play with. So that will add to my fun.

I drove my gf's car the other day that is a manual and didn't put the clutch in when i started it as i thought that i was in an auto. She wasn't too happy when i almost bounced into the car parked in front of me. Better not do that to the skyline.

[inark]

haha yeah i was in neutral luckily when i started but i tried puting it into gear without the damn clutch man that grinding noise was bad...

bigger exhaust at no extra cost?? hmmmm wonder if he'll do that for me

[Arsn]

The exhaust was...um...damaged in the crash so he said for the same cost of replacing the original one, he could put on one that i wanted.

Although, depending on the final cost of it, i might have to put in a little bit extra, which i think is fair enough. I am getting a better system than before for basically nothing.

We shall say that it is for all the problems that the guy who hit me has caused

[inark]

hehehe awesome... a blessing in disguise

yer, exactly same, although its only been 2 weeks for me..scary thing i've gotten used to it. Don't have to worry about dickheads who can't drive (90%) crashing into you, people keying it, can park it in the street without caring, smash bits off and not care, uses heaps less petrol (even though its a 4.1L !) Can throw stuff in the back and it actually fits Sometimes its good having a daily shitter

[Arsn]

That is true. I park the car that I'm driving now where ever i like, and don't think twice. Go over speed humps at 80km/h and not care. Don't have to worry about steep driveways either.

But still, i wouldn't trade all that for my skyline. It is fun teaching those V8's a lesson.

[inark]

hehe i went past today and seen gordos 33 parked outside... back facing the street wih the front bar off

[Arsn]

I have finally got my car back. It took a while, but it looks really good. I'm pretty happy with the job. The new exhaust looks and sounds really good too.

Thanks for sending me there guys. Even though it took a while, I'd rather have someone working on the car that knows something about the car.

The only downside is that when they were buffing the car, they pulled off the "GTST" sticker, but it doesn't look too bad without it.

I haven't stopped driving the car since i got it back. Am even trying to figure out how i can ditch work so that i can get back to the car.

[whistla]

Good to hear it went well....

I took the t off my GTSt sticker for awhile for alittle bit fof fun

Then took the rest off, its better without it dude

[Arsn]

Yeah, they removed the 't' first of all and said 'how is that'. From the look on my face, i guess they realised that i wasn't a fan of it.

I does look better without it. They are going to get me a new sticker, but i think that I'll just leave it as it is

[inark]

hehehe good to hear mate! reminds me i have to get off my arse this weekend and patch up the holes in the boot lid so i can drop mine off to get painted.

[predator]

yer, go slap them too for me when you're there... as mine won't be ready for GOR now.

[inark]

lol ok

[Arsn]

I saw your car when i was there. Front bar off and all. He had almost finshed the work on the bar. Looked pretty good.

Con also said that he wasn't sure if you were going to take your car back inark. Said that he hadn't heard from you for a bit.

[inark]

yeah ive been too lazy to get the damn thing ready plus i still dont have all the cash yet so i dont want it to be ready and not have the money for it.... will pop down with it tomorow.
