Quote all you like, you know it wont be there :P Sorry guys, but a yellow sticker will clash with my cars colour scheme :P I'm afraid that the EA will be only be attending day meets, call me a chicken but there's far too much risk involved for my liking, especially given the current situation....

Hope its as much fun as you'd anticipated!!
It certainly is, just cruising around the attention it gets is unbelievable. I'm having problems with the auto not knowing which gear it should be in tho, but hopefully changing the speedo sender should fix it, either that or my TPS needs adjusting. Stally's awesome, definately gives it a good kick up the **** for standing starts. Had a close call with a cop already, cruising through endeavour hills i saw him do a u bolt when he passed but by the time he came around a few cars had already piled up behind me and i had ducked into the first street i could find :P

I dont blame you at all, the amount of people getting yellow stickers lately is absolutely crazy. It's in all the papers and on the news that they're having a "blitz" it'd suck if you just got it on the road to have it defected.

Really glad it's running tho, looking forward to seeing on the road in person! :

nice Falcons you got there, the kits look really good. Same as the intercooler, haha. Good work.

Love the FALCN - 6 number plate. (I call my Dad's ED "Falco")!

ignore the angle of the front bar, it got caught under the intercooler so wasnt sitting right.

A custom bodykit sets one car apart from any other(no matter what make or model it is). Say I'm wrong but it reminds me of some European bodykits. Fits well to the car but isn't overstated like a HSV. Very nice! Well done on the fabrication and custom work mate.

Damn that looks good (besides the fact the bumper looked like it was ready to fall off)! Well done Steve!
