G'day from Perth

Hi everyone.
Kind of new around here (again)... kind of old too! It's been a long time. Still driving the same '95 GPX, which has continued to function as a great little weekend comp car.
Current FTO specs:
Suspension: Tokico dampers, King springs, Whiteline front/rear uprated swaybars, strut braces, camber/caster adjustment, nolethane bushes here and there.
Brakes: Slotted DBA rotors, Pagid Blue pads, braided hoses.
Engine: UAS downpipes, custom induction, Odyssey battery, UniQ ECU interceptor. Recent top engine overhaul for extra perfectness.
Wheels: 4 x Boring road rubber. 4 x Bridestone RE-55s r-comps. 2 x Dunlop r-comps. 2 x Advan r-comps. It's like TyrePower in my shed, only with more tyres.
Gearbox: Manual, with Evo III clutch-plate LSD.
Fashion victim stuff: c/f bonnet from UAS.
Dodgy car stuff: Gearbox has got noisy recently. The old "peeling plastic headlights" look.
Apart from the gear noise, it's hard to find fault with her mechanically. I wonder if the gears will all fall out one day, or if it will just go on grumbling at me for years. Time will tell...
Cheers,
Rich
PS. Earlier this month, the old ftowa.com domain reg finally lapsed. RIP FTOWA. Oh well. It was long-dead anyway, hehe.
