When the turbo went bang, so much oil dumped down to the ic piping that I could probably bathe in it, that metal hose joiner (seen above) is stainless steel….

Stacking

Well so far this week I've managed to stack four people in the supra and me being me, I'm impatient and dont want to wait till friday. So that means I'm going to .. stack four rims and wheels into the supra today and get these wheels home :p I hope I dont have to jam on the brakes for anything XD

Called by to frustrate you, be back later to do it some more.

The wheels are here in Perth and I can't get them until friday, how much does that suck. I hate the "Sorry we missed you" or "we called by, you weren't home" cards, they stink of effort and it's a nice way of saying "Where the hell were you when I came to deliver this?" (but it's good customer service). Especially when I asked to be called before delivery *sigh* bring on the end of the week! :D

On a second frustrating note, it's time for me to change jobs and start moving on and up. So I've been busily running around putting out the resume and I get to wait while people peruse and hopefully give me a chance to get out of the bank and try my hand at more of an administrative role. Time will tell.

Mmm dish

Well maybe not dish, more like a larger polished lip, but still.

I ordered new rims for the supra the other day, work VS-XX 18 x 9" 18 x 10" both with a +38 offset. Spiffy, the rims come with some japanese winter/snow tyres.. oh this is going to be interesting.

Work vs-XX 18×10 and 18×9

Picked them up at a great price thanks to Aaron over at Rampant, great bloke to deal with.

Anyone want to buy some Advan AVS super racing V 2's? 17x9.5 an 17x8 with 95% tread?
