Very Happy today.

Finally got to drive my Line today. Went to the compliance place to have a look and take some digi pics. The guy says, here's the keys, take it for a burn - Just don't let cops see you (no rego / plates) .

Started her up - sounds sweet . Cat back 3" (Maybe 3.5") system - very straight too. Looks like it has 2 resonators and no muffler - Also Apexi type pod filter.

1st gear - whooosh second gear (standard BOV vents back thru the pod) - I plant it in 2nd - boost cuts in......, then rear wheels lose traction (is this normal) ??? Was on a normal road.

Decide to take her back to the shop (only got to third gear)

Took a look around - Luv the wheels 17" 6 spoke - R brand (R in Red) too dark to see it properly. Suspension very low & hard - Front spoiler has been scraped a little.

Rear bumper has mark on it - looks a like rope mark where they tied it down on the ship.

The car is filthy - needs a good detail.

Apexi S-AFC included - I think it is an old one - It's got 5 (or so knobs on the front - Dunno if this is any good.

Alll in all very happy.... And I get to tak it home in a week after engineering - Can't drive it tho, gotta wait for comp plates to come in. But while I'm waiting, the stereo will go in, and it will be getting a mega detail........

Cheers all - It's been a long wait !!

brendan - yeah with a good clutch you can snap thirds quite easily... hitting third hard in my car will send the back across the next lane. :D

the S-AFC, yeah thats the older model - still a VERY good unit, take it to mark at hills (see my sig) for tuning, he'll look after you.

Christian.

Oh and congrats.

Very Nice... I really wanted a silver one... maybe next time.

I know what you'll be going through now. The last week, week and a half was the worst for me. It had been SOOOOO long and there was SOOOO little time left... it seemed to take as long as the 2 months before hand!

Look forward to seeing it in the metal!!!

Black33,

It depends on plenty of things.

I have 162rwkw and can spin second sometimes third in the dry but my tyres are now pretty shot... when they were new 255/40 17's I had to push pretty hard to spin first (ie, give it 5 grand and sidestep the clutch!)

Do you only have zorst? do you also have wider wheels on the back? more rubber on the road means harder to spin.

define "hard"?? :lol:

Seconds should be easy...unless you have some very good quality rubber on the back
