yeah I remember my first start of my CA I was so excited, but then excitment turned to dismay as my engine made milkshakes, so the head gasket wasn't healthy, that was soon fixed with a recondition.
Although I remember the day I went to get the exhaust put on, I drove it too the exhaust shop as it was still registered, with only a dump pipe twas quite loud, and running on base maps it would cough and fart down low then WHACK on came the power.

Keeps up posted when it's officially on the road

Damo

nar mate havent seen a red one for ages, saw a tidy yellow ute the other day, and theres a chameleon one whos a member on here that works round the corner from my old man.

mines not sprayed yet, just did a few laps down the street, no front guards, no bonnet, no grill, no bumber, no headlights, it looked weird seein it drivin down the road, like an intercooler with wheels

that's awesome dude, have you seen a little red one kicking around your area?? thats a good mate of mine, i'd be keen to see the bad boy

woo hoo awsome man.
Drive it like you stole it.

Good work dude. I've had several different CA 'start' events over the years. The autronic one took nearly 3 months to enjoy.

The original one lasted me 50 metres up the road, until a bit of crap from the fuel tank seized the EFI pump...immediately ending my fun.

Good work though. Drive safely on the road, drive like an insane man on the track!
