I have some taillight tint on order to tint and fit shanes taillights. Then I will have a bit of racing car on my FTO too.

I have some clear tint on order, I am going to give covering the headlights a go. Then maybe no moar polishing of headlights.
I would like to get the intake manifold + throttle body + drivers side engine mount bracket + radiator cap neck + front rocker cover chrome plated. I have found a place but I haven't had time to go to Adelaide and get quotes. Although this might have to wait until funds allow, ie after house purchase.
I still need to fit GoPro and Sony Action Cam mounts and take the FTO up to the "Gorge" for a run through the twisties.
I'm sure there is plenty moar stuff to do too like suspension bushes, paint and replace subframe, engine mounts, paint calipers etc
BTW, Thanks again for the fantastic comments. I am really happy with how my engine bay is looking.

Re: PHIL069's 95 FTO GPX
On the way home from work yesterday I thought I would blast a CD through my new head unit, so I chose Queen.
I turned it up to "40", turned on "Dynamic boost" and let it rip.
First song was Bohemian Rhapsody which starts off a bit quite, although it was blasting my ears already.
When the song hit the loud drums/bass section in the middle I thought my windows were going to blow out until all the sound suddenly when dead only a couple of bars into the section...

Can't be serious?bjk wrote:What part is that?

It's the 60 Amp fuse I have in the direct power feed from my battery to my three amps.
I actually have one fuse near the battery and another at the other end (in the boot) just before the power feeds into the amps.
The one that melted/blew is the one in the boot.

You know Bohemian Rhapsody is the perfect song to test your sound set up? It has the whole set of highs and lows
