I'm never watchin another All Blacks game again. Only just got over october.
yea a steinie's just not the same! ha even thats a rarity in tennessee...atlanta's a different story, but yea that rx-4 was a charcoal gray, dude must of been about 19 ish- good dude- he and his buddy gave me a ride all the way up to kawerau.

but yea...October. Forward pass. no doubt. its still a sore spot, but never again?? come on bro that wasnt their fault...france is gay- we all know that, and refs are blind. 2011 theres no reason they shouldnt dominate. theyll all be home games.

but all you guys rides are so f ing clean! its redic. simple, clean, and rotary powered- a blessed trinity.

Ha! yeh I know I will watch them, its instinctive to get smashed and watch an AB's game. Wellington IRB sevens tourny starts in couple hours jst haven a few warm up brews haha!

My mates 62 needed a custom crossmember made to fit and modified mounts. Still needs a play with as the engine is still at to much of an angle so the u-joints on the trans are makin sum noise

Just cut the springs haha dodgey......

Off to sum drags 2moro will take sum photos and post them up if not too drunken from fri nite + sevens......

It came on the 7 when i got it, its a fibreglass item. Wouldn't have a clue who makes it but it sucks the front down nicely and sends air up in2 the engine bay

Took it out for a thrash the other day.

I need to clean the engine bay up. Repaint block. New lines/hose etc every where and tidy up the wiring. I really want to get rid of the purple and just change it to black. Just mint it up really. Pics make it look alrite but it needs a bit of TLC haha!

enjoy

Its all good. Im in New Zealand haha! I reckon it makes the front of the car too. If it was a s3 front it would be fine stock but the s1's need a little something there IMHO.

After looking around, perhaps I can answer my own question. I think that the airdam is a SelectMaz product that appears on their Club Car at http://www.selectmaz.com.au/home.htm

Just to be thorough...

...here's some info I got from SelectMaz.

The airdam is $446 AUD ($288 USD), and shipping is well in excess of $700 AUD ($451 USD). This doesn’t include insurance. Goods will be manufactured after a 50% deposit is taken. Manufacturing takes 2 weeks, and shipping takes 4-12 days.

A group buy is suggested for any parts desired.

Wow been a long time since I did anything to my car!

Have since converted the front shock to adjustable and dialled the rear height down a bit + put a new muffler on.

Currently have a mate working on a new diff ratio. Will go from 3.8 to 4. something (currently sits at 2500 in fifth at 60) so should make it a bit more fun to drive.

Will post up some new pics when I get a chance!
