Ok ppls it's been some time since Iv posted up what's been happenin to my gem since running a high 10 at Sydney jambo Iv had to get some stuff done to the car major thing that was needed was a roll cage
So in the past few months Iv been working my arse off trying to get that and a few other things done.
Since then Iv gutted the inside of the doors stripped the interior completely pulled all the windows out (with the plans of Lexin) added a Chromoley rollcage alloy dash along with some alloy door trims and very comfy alloy kirkey racing seat.

Was planning to race the car in qld for the next jambo session but Iv still got a s*#t load to do before it's raced again so I don't think that will be happening.Anyways enough of the babbling I'll try to get some pics up very soon :D

** UPDATE**

hey everyone,finally after a few years of the car just sitting around in the shed collecting dirt and dust iv finally pulled my finger out and things are slowly starting to happen.
in the last month and a half iv pulled some more weight out of it by cutting out the big chunky metal frame for the rear seat aswell as buying some goodies like new microtech ecu
and wiring loom similar to the painless wiring loom family
iv welded some plates to strengthen and hide the rust holes in the floor where the roll cage footings are :) and hopefully with some luck this weekend i can get stuck in and pull all the birds nest wiring thats in it ready for a fresh custom loom aswell as do more of the fuel system for e85 8)

Good to see you getting stuck into this again - now go for 9's :)

Off topic - but how long have you had your ss-v? It has some tell-tale signs of it being my old one which I sold in june 2011 back to my lease company.
I wish i had something cool and witty in my signature
