Car: LS1 VXR

Present: AP's, Rippy, Catback & Bushes.

Planned: Super Blackbird, ZZR1400 or FJR1300.

Possible: Death, amputations or a Victory Vegas.

My choice was to:

b) spent quite a lot of money on a bike and go a lot faster

Monaro 500. Standard mods plus, AP brakes, cat-back and rip-shifter.

This years money (£4k) was going on a complete stip-down paint job at Devils Ride Tewksbury (deep blue). Sadly that is now on hold pending some safety in the job market.

Going to talk to Monkfish about what I might do to fettle-it a bit more at lower cost.

If you can get the car down Lancing (West Sussex), The place that sprayed my Supra will do a colour change on a car for around 1k (maybe 1.5k) they did a very good job on mine and always recommend them.

I know £4K sounds a lot but it was for a complete, every panel off, screens out, inside-out respray and lacquer. I thought that if I am going to get it done to show standard, then do it right!

History now tho!
