my missus used to think like that sometimes, always say crap like "i want this song played at my funeral" ... glad i got her outta that though. was as you put it, a little morbid.

i wouldnt have a clue, as long as it meant alot to me. Theres a few songs i love that are a bit sappy, and crappy but still theres meaning behind them that i can appreciate and that i hope i can relate to.

Celine Dion - My Heart will go on (i hate titanic ... and only like this song because i watched a video with it that was based on Final fantasy 8 - a game of which i played when i was a lot younger and related to so much of it.)

Vertical Horizon - Everything You Wanted - or whatever its bloody called. Like it for a good while now.

Enigma - Gravity Of Love ... there is some sick bass durin the song, even though its a "love song" sort of thing, i still love it.

.... every man to his own.... so shuttup :D

(plus i dont think i would want people to listen to rap, dance music etc ... they should be SAD ... i would be DEAD AT THE TIME!)

If you want to get really morbid then have yourself wrapped in tin foil and have the wiggles play "hot potatoe" at your cremation.

But on the more serious note probable something more upbeat at my funeral. I know it will be a sad time but I hate the thought of me bumming people out. I would rather a celebration of my life than a morning of my death.

I think Meredith Brooks Bitch would be appropriate for me.

Nah i know the song i just dont know the name ..... think it maybe a Nickleback son gi dont know shall find out

Came up with:

Julian Lennon - Saltwater (bit sappy, but quite a beautiful song)

Faith no More - Easy

Bob Dylan - Stuck in the Middle (for something a bit more upbeat :D ) ;and

Paul Kelly - Dumb Things

I could add a few more, but that's the short list for now.

Cheers

Rob

I'd love to have "With or without you - U2" and "The day you went away - Wendy Matthews"

I don't know, but I'm one of those people that play sad songs at sad times.

I'd also like to be cremated and have the person closest to me do a huge burnout beside my resting place.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
