It actually did start being changed over on the weekend.
Although, my car is still not together or running but the motion is there. For the first time ever, I got under the car, greased to the max! Quite an experience. I don't understand how you all do this on a regular basis though, I have showered since and I still feel dirty

I think next time something breaks I will send it to the mechanic, stuff this hard work. It's not fun.

And I'll end up with people throwing eggs at me for my car looking ridiculous!

Possible, but since when do you care. Especially when you'll be roosting off down the beach laughing

...but you get used to it Bruce...and after awhile you get to like it

I don't even know how to 'roost' -- I have driven on the beach once and stalled the car. Shame.

I think I am happy sitting back and watching though Stuart

I'll get drinks and lunch.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of volunteers (me first!!) to teach (show) you how

Haha nice try. I've already stated that no one will be driving my car after the motor is in. Dad can test it (twice max) and then posession is back to me =D

I like Stuart's response better. It's nicer =)
Can't wait for the test drive, which I can do around the yard haha

In circles pivoting on one of the front tyres?!

Wish my EJ would "move into" my L this quickly!

Cheers

Hell no, mum would kill me. It's only the front yard because I don't have my licence for a few weeks still.

Front yard, side yard... Back hill... Its all the same

Yeah, bugger about the license thing - Brett you should look at a speed governor to shove on the thing, at least that'll slow down the top speed on the open road

The JDM front cuts have a 180kph speed limit. So it will actually have a lower top speed than it did standard.

I don't think he needs any ideas!

I didn't realise it was going to be a slow twin turbo ... maybe I'll sell it and buy a faster car then.

It won't be that slow. You might be able to keep up with my toyota
