over the weekend i plan to remove all the sticky s**t from the side moulds around the car, polish the hot wires and give it a wash and polish :P

also today i went into glenorchy and noticed i needed fuel so i pulled into caltex and decided to give the vortex 98 a try :P now there no real noticable difference but it doesnt seem to blow the black fuely smoke up top in the rev range now and it also got some fairly good fuel economy to had just over half a tank after i put $20 came back to new norfolk and drove around here for abit before heading home and its still on half :D

yea i was looking at the photos it sticks out pretty bad the wax and grease remover is working very well and after a nice polish it should look pretty good apart from those dents on the left hand side.

hard to explain :P but im not saying it is but it may be.
