    So finally took the Touring out for it's first drive a few days ago. (first time in about three months...)

    Rides really quite comfortable, I was pleasantly surprised. I am having some issues with the Elevel Pre-sets though... Car tends to randomly drop and raise random corners at random times while driving on pre-set #3 :/ I have been in contact with Accuair and apparently it is most likely due to my rear sensors going out of range while aired up. I still need to double check my sensor Voltages and movement ranges again, but hopefully will be a quick fix.

    Anyway, thought i'd post a few pics. This is a pic of the bay when i'm actually driving, no chance i am driving anywhere with exposed trumpets.


    Also about 15min from home, the microtech display started flashing red and the car all of a sudden started running like a piece of shit... I ended up nursing it back home (didn't want to run the risk of being stranded on the side of the road, a gamble i know) then when i popped the hood, found a spark plug lead had popped off and was resting directly on the headers O_O some how though it didn't have any signs of melting and was good as gold as soon as i put it back on :)


    Thought i might show a few pics of my newest little addition. Cut in a CTEK 'comfort panel' this arvo, connects to the battery and shows Voltage levels (via a green, yellow and red light) and also provides a direct port to plug in my CTEK battery charger. Just a cool little make your life a tiny bit easier type mod.

                              I fucking love those wheels.

                              However, idk if they work together for me. Regardless, it is super cool!

                                Yeah I was a little skeptical, but i love them. Got plenty of positive feedback on its first time out at the show.

                                I have plans on getting 1/2" bigger lips all round and doing away with the 15mm spacers.

                                Not often Work Emitz in 17" and in decent offsets come up in 4x100 :)
