car runs, i'm pretty sure all leaks have been fixed other than the injector o rings lol
in a drama filled week off last week instead of going away on holidays with the mrs i stayed home and bought paint and sprayed the car bayside blue with plenty of blue pearl. pics to follow after buffing is completed shortly
Also purchased a rear whiteline sway bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a pair of really comfy bucket seats and slotted rotors and bendix pads. Would like to say thanks to all my fellow n12 turbo enthusiasts for all the advice and discounts on parts to help me to getting the car to this point.
oh, and the car is currently being registered, and will have a blue slip by the weekend !!!!!!!!!!!

finally replaced the o rings on the injectors so now the car idles properly, should have everything installed tomorrow so just waiting on the wheels next wednesday, and then the plates/rego after that. so keen to drive it!!!

car has been towed from two workshops twice in the last week, the diagnosis being fucked wheel bearings and a worn hub where it meets the brand new ball joint on the driver's side... Just told the workshop to reassemble the car with all new parts, except the hub which i need to get first. of all the things to break it has to be the most random thing i can't just find at repco lol
that said, cannot wait to drive it tonight after over a year off the road!!!!!!!!!

well the good news is that it drove ridiculously well and had all the power i could ask for... until it overheated on the freeway going home from a meet. another trip on the tow truck (3rd this fucking week) and will be spending time on the weekend trying to work out if i've done the head gasket or not. mrs says i am not allowed to spend a cent on it, fucking bs not happy jan
