"I'm just about over having my cabin fill with smoke from oil hitting the exhaust manifold, creating a smokescreen AND periodically cleaning the little aftermarket filter on top of the rocker cover!  Why is my A12 breathing so much oil?  I'm constantly..."

" Jesus Leith! 300+ rwhp in a 1K ute??? Are tubs and wheelie bars on the project list as well?  I vote a race between your beast when it's finished and Danno37's yellow 13B ex-dragster...    You'll enjoy driving in your 1st ute though mate. The stance..."

"Cheers Wurzel! I have to admit though, she's a bit of a "Pamela Anderson"...   From a distance, she looks fit for her age but up close, you start to notice the filler and crevices. "

"Mike replacing the dash top is definitely on the agenda, along with the whole dash. I'm wanting to unstitch it and replace it with a coupe dash (cheers Kdogg!) and instrument panel. I was thinking of centrecaps too, you'll have to bring a set to Levey's..."

"I never realised there were 1.6, or even 1.8L versions of the SR, let alone with variable valve timing!    How common are they... especially the N1 version?!?"
