[greeneyes]

Auckland East kiddo? that looks like Chowick in the background, where I live!

I bought Greeneyes in 2001, back in the ol' days when Altezzas and IS200s were rare!

The only thing I'm looking for is a turbo for that 3SGE!

Oh... and leather seats!

Hey Keith:

Got some good news for ya, I saw a 2000 Toyota Altezza RS200 today in Newmarket...and it's got factory leather seats!!! Blue Metalic with Black Leather / Ecsaine...:D its the first time i see a Altezza with leather seats...maybe you can trade it in for a 2000 one...lol, BTW the rego number of that car is RS2ooL, i gues "L" stands for leather, BTW I m already running out of cards, gav send me a Txt today said hes in Welly...so I will probly give him a yell tomorrow afternoon, lol.....

Matt

PS...Keith I m getting a 2nd hand Bel Vector 990International radar Tomorrow...for $350 do you think is worth it...its $1100 Retail...

[lextcy]

Yeah I wanna get my springs done too...But I want it get Gavs Mate to do it so I can get it installed for $60 instead of $225 at Mag And Turbo......good thing takes time....

PS. What PLP stuff you getting?

Matt

The heat shield and radiator panel for now. $300 for an aluminium tube and filter seems a bit too much. I can get a k&n panel filter, and get a custom intake tube made to replce the stock intake tubing.

Hey Dude:

How about the JoeZ Intake, I know Joes Z and I can Get you the pipe (basiclly PLP) and just get your own K&N filter, I sold a set of JoeZ Intake and Blitz filter to Naroka and he can feel the hp gain, after the intake and filter...you can expect around 10-12 hp gain..... trust me dude dont get those crap VRP and Heatshield, yes it does get the heat out for more HP, but its also a hell lot havier, just use that money for the Struct Brace.....

Located in Hamilton, on city edge so close to town but still technolgical out of city (just), Currently a fourth year student at Waikato University studying Management (BMS) and double majoring in marketing and international management and also strategic management and leardership.
