If it's a bit flat Zac, just put the bottles in a warmer spot like the loungroom for another week and you will be surprised how much more carbonation
they can get. I find my bottles are at their best at about 4 weeks in this cooler weather.

Some bling turned up today for the new motor. Gotta love billet aluminium shiny bits.
I now have everything I need to complete the long motor.
Seeing a man about a new turbo on the weekend.
and Zac....give yourself an upper cut....pay particular attention to number 7
Over the past 5 years i've come to the conclusion that the only reason why these 'boy racers'/ricers do what they do is for the simple fact of
being different.
Let's face it folks, those body kits dont add any aerodynamic properties to the car, nor do they reduce weight or even look good, and please dont get
me started on whale tails, MOMO and APC.
The body kit has evolved over the years from being a cheap way of getting the "lowered" look without actually having any mechanical ability. Then it
progressed to the long list of excuses to "it makes my car more aerodynamic", once again their theory was shot down in a matter of milleseconds.
Now, its finally come to rest at the "i just want to look different than every other car out there". Ok, i can respect that... Since we are all car
enthusiasts, i'm willing to help out, give some tips to those who want to be different.
First, you must have a wing/tail/spoiler. Not only are these a very simple install on your whip, but they make your car look aggressive and powerful,
much like the alpha male in a wolf pack.
Secondly, to be different you have to have at the very minimum a 19" chrome wheel, and if you can afford it, Sprewell's. The stock rim is a pathetic
attempt at styling, and to be honest you know what looks best. Stock in this area is extremely boring, who wants to look at stock rims?
Third, ...whats that sound? I cant hear anything either... that must because you have a stock exhaust. That just won't do, not only can you customize
the total look of your car, you can create its own custom sound signature!! Remember, bigger pipes equal more air flow and better effeciency from your
motor.
Fourth, window tinting. How careless of the factory not to already half lemonize your window with half yellow limo tint and half smoke? This can add
much value to your ride, always be prepared and bring a quality squeege.
Fifth, mono wiper. Let me tell you if i had a dime for every argument i got into with a mechanical engineer about how ineffecient a dual wiper system
is over the single wiper, i'd be a rich rich man.
Sixth, interior detailing. This is an easy thing to over look since you are the only one who sees the interior while your driving right? Wrong, those
hunnies on the corner of Hollywood and Vine will always check a ride over thoroughly before they get in the car of just anyone's car. Make sure yours
is accented perfectly with contrasting colors to really draw attention to the accents of the car. We all can't forget 3rd grade color theory and the
color wheel right?
Seventh, Neons. Nothing says "i've customized my ride so you know which Civic is mine" like a set of neon lights. Strategically place neons in
places which will give off the most afterglow of a light, license plates are a great place for those, not to mention your dash board. Driving at night
can be hazardous, having one on your dash alerts other drivers to stay away from your ride because its custom and one of a kind.
Eigth, Carbon fiber. Honestly, is there such a thing as too much carbon fiber? I would argue no. Its light, super trick and will never rust so you can
have your custom whip that much longer! Besides, what fine hoe ever said to you, "thats a sexy stock rear view mirrror" and meant it!?! I rest my
case.
Ninth, Stereo. Be the loudest, its what its all about. You will be the coolest kid on the block with your booming system, not because you like it
loud, but because your so deaf that you need it that loud to actually hear the music. Always, and this is a must... Play rap music from some rapper no
one has ever heard of to prove that you are hardcore about the music and not some poser.
Now people, i've only given you a little taste of what its like to be different in the world of cars and custom whips. There are millions of other
things to customize on your car, you're smart. You can figure out trick shiz to pull off on your car, remember you're the tuner!! If its fugly, it
must be different and different is good.
Do all of these things and you'll be different, just like everyone else.

Me
spent yesterday cutting concrete (the dodgy bits of my old driveway) and shovelling road base to prepare for the new slab that will mean I can finally
get the sqaure off the street at nights! ie: I will have a driveway!
Last night was into town with a few other dubbers and watched a play as part of the festival that is on in Bris at the mo, that was pretty good.
Today, report typing then back out to my place to fold the washing, iron a few uniforms and get ready for next week.
As for the 25, no worries Rob, whenever is fine.
Anyone else?

Hey guys!!!
It's been a while hope all is well....looks like not much is changed except for the extra bling on the Mazda zac :P
Guess what I've bought another dub....an '86 2WD Trakka...with solar panels and hot and cold shower that hooks onto tail gate when it's up n has an
annexe that clips around the tail gate so you are not exposing yourself   
It has CB radio, spot lights and fog lights, AND owned by an older couple who have grown out of it...soon as I saw the accessories I asked my mechanic
who put me onto it if it had done lots of dirt roads and long rough miles...but it seems not
Wahoo!!!!! If it's a good weekend next week we can go away camping to try it out!!
:bounce:bounce
OK and yes I know it's not an aircooled kombi but it was a steal at $7k...everything has been well looked after
I was going to post a couple of pics of it but my puter is being so slow that it's nearly time for me to log off and go cook dinner
....finally had Bel and the Dr serviced the other week...I had to take a day off and run back n forth...poor Dr L needs a coat of paint now that I
have the trakka maybe I can run it to the station and around while he gets a freshen up sometime...I'm feeling very very guilty
Peter I love the shed...weather board so nice...
Goodness I really really have to get my act together and get one up now that we are a 4 car family...Eddies car got tagged for the second time the
other night so my dubs are not going out in the street 
...well I'd better go and cook....not sure how long it will be before I'm back on...I was off the puter for 3 whole weeks .... I think I must be
still in the honeymoon period lol
Hehe I'm still out there dubbing just being silent about it...not as exciting though as being part of this crazy community ... maybe when the Trakka
comes home on Saturday I'll be full of questions and bursting to ask them, might be my old old self again :sandrine
Take care all :kiss
