A trip to Mt Hutt and a cheeky rock destroyed my sump and exhaust so its been off the road for a couple weeks.

Finally got it going yesterday

Have added a tidy factory exhaust
Re-gapped Rockers
Sump/exhaust gaskets
Got Sump welded
new drop links
rust free sunroof
Red Tails
Yellow Highs/fogs
And a full set of factory suspension so I can go 4wding...

So a few things left to do,

New Rear brake disks
Muffler strap so it doesnt bang around
Wof n Reg
fix sunroof handle
Give it a good clean, wax, polish etc.

Looking at coilovers, but due to welding I duno if I can be f**ked as I never plan on certing it anyway.

are those wheels SSR's??

Im not entirely sure who made them, Theyre stamped with Japan and were originally made for 3rd Generation Transam GTAs, so could probably find out if I was bothered to do some digging. I had a rougher set for sale earlier this year but noone on here was interested so I sold them to a guy on facebook who then sold them to Victor ( e3ape ) who is putting them on his e3, which I am super excited to see.

That is fkn rad man

Cheers boss!

The letter was sent on THE 26TH OF OCTOBER!

Why couldnt these people just f**king call me? My number is on the box for a bloody reason!

This update could have been filled with slammed E28 goodness.

BUT NO.

Thanks Customs NZ, I f**king hate your guts.
