Looking good by the way. Nice to see another starion with an owner that is looking after his ride. :beer
Thanks Jas, its coming along slowly but surely haha

Jon at Spec Performance did the dyno. To be exact it was a dyno 'run' not a tune, just had two power runs. It was a day organised by msport.co.nz and there was about 24 of us that day. One after another after 2 run. Still I think I was a a/f reading and it was apparently running slightly rich up at full boost, which i suppose is better than lean.
I see there is another dyno day on Saturday 4th September. Might have to go along and have a perv.
Have they got a hub dyno?
Yea thats right, there was so much interest this year, they're going for another one. They have got a roller dyno 2wd/4wd. you can see pics of it on page 5 of this thread

Been doing a bit of repair work to the front section of the car. Fixed a lot of rust in the front bar and attached my front kit piece on correctly. A much nicer fit.

Hired a rug doctor this weekend to do my cars and my friends as well. Such a rewarding job specially when you see what comes out. Really good to do every 6months or 12. I thought my starion was relatively clean as i'd had the carpet out multiple times and vacuumed lots.
Managed to fit in the house too cause had stuff left over :D

Nice work on the bottom lip spoiler! Will you have a black strip on the bottom?

Grab those sideskirts from that NZ aeroteck mob and you will be a happy camper!! I can vouch they look as good as the ralliart ones...and much, much cheaper too!

Hey mate cheers, at the moment its all just primer, wont worry about any too fancy for a while or until the whole car gets a respray. In the meantime i might just get some touchup paint and paint it silver so it at least blends in

Nice day in CHCH today so decided to take some photos up on the port hills just for fun with my friend Hamish. We just got his libero finally running after 5 months of it being of the road so it was a good celebration to get it up the hill :beer

fronts look like they sit out enough as it is, with a 20mm spacer they will be sticking right out. Do they hit the struts?
