Default Well excited....Picking my STI V5 up on saturday

Well as some of you know my STI 5 went pop just 10 days after owning it. I was in a lot of bother as to what to do to the car but in the end chose to have the engine rebuilt by API enhgines. The car was picked up on the 31st of july and after waiting patiently for the last month i'm finally getting the car back again in working order this coming saturday. I've been saving my bolloks off and have managed to save a nice wedge to go towards paying for the rebuild.

I'm so excited as the new car novelty never had time to wear off last time as i only had the car for 10 days. I also have collected a few goodies for the car too. I joined the group buy for the prostep gauges so have these to fit, also have a 3 gauge centre pod, some black mud flaps and some 18" gumnetal inovite redlines. So providing everything goes to plan i will be very busy next week fitting my new toys

Looking forward to bringing the STI along to some meets
