Well i did it, i flew to another state, bought the car and drove it back 900 km home.

My mom was concerned cause she thought id fall asleep at the wheel, 30 mins into the trip i realised there was going to be no sleeping. The ride was so bumpy, suspension so stiff that i felt every ripple. Oh and the sound of the full mugen exhaust didn't help much. Either way it was a joy.

Now im in love with my baby girl. its already created many problems with the girlfriend, but eh.

Is R theft an issue in Australia as it is here?

for mandatory pics

for flying a very long distance to get your car just as i did

 

Read his SIG
He's not a very lucky guy

 

I dont think theft here is as big of an issue, but be sured that i am layering my security. Im waiting for my next pay check before i get the wheel clamp to go with it too.

Oh and im thinkin my luck is changin, ill change that sig

Yeah no doubt, 2002 was a really bad year for him.

I'm wondering why there's a Mugen exhaust with so much else from Spoon on the car.

What kind of suspension is on it, that you're finding it so bumpy?

 

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!

 

I have spoon non-adjustable shocks
Spoon Springs
Spoon urethane bushings.
and the oem upper rear strut bar.

The Aussie highway is well used by trucks so the surface is not exactly smooth.

I dont think im missin anything.

The car had the spoon n1 exhaust on it previously, but it was too loud, and the mugen twinloop is relatively mellow and doesn't attract as much attention.

OK, I guess that all makes sense.

Our roads must be better, I guess. I have springs/dampers well beyond N1 specs and it's very streetable...well, maybe except for the railroad crossings.

 

i may not be used to it just yet, im still taking it very easy with this car, im trying to learn its characteristics before i push it.

But so far im loving it.
