I just had to deal with the pre-delivery girl on the phone. I could tell she was reading from a script. I only asked for sports floor mats and a smoke tint bonnet protector.
She couldn't believe that I didn't want the paint protection. Even me stating that my dad was a spray painter panel beater for 30 years wasn't sinking in and it took quite a while for me to get the message through I didn't want it.
Win!!!... Win!!!... Good on you...
You can put that $1K you saved on the Complete Waste of Time and Money paint protection, toward a useful/worthwhile mod, that actual makes a difference instead of just emptying your wallet...
No bonus for the pre-delivery girl this week, hahaha Boo Hoo....

Also pushed the alarm sale. Once again my car is in a locked garage with the house alarm. Also I work on a Defence force base. Not much chance of it being stolen from there too.
I was waiting for that call and I am glad it's over!
I guess the "Browse" option only becomes visible when you are a Validated Member as I am only able to see the "From URL" option unfortunately.Quote:

The 6 week wait will kill me!!!
Already have locknuts and pollen filter sitting here. Beesting aerial on its way. Just have to order a rear rubber boot liner / mat for the back.
Happy days!
This week I had it dropped down a tad to close up the tyre to guard gaps.
Now it just needs to settle a little.
I’ve applied 3 layers of Opti-Seal to the new rims and they are now sitting in the garage patiently waiting for my new low profile jack to arrive so they can be fitted.

I just got an e-mail from the dealership. My wagon is now due for delivery this Thursday!!!
It has been moved forward 5 weeks. Apparently once Holden knew it was sold they moved it forward on the line.
I won't be able to sleep the next few nights!!!
what did they charge to drop that? Im looking at getting a similar height on my series 1. Is it springs only, or spring + shock needed? Do you know how many mm drop front and back?Quote:

What brand springs did you use ?
hey mate. what springs are in the front? my wagon sits the same at the rear but i need to bring the front down more and yours sits perfect.
My GTS is warm on temp gauge before I get off drive way, is warm in around 30 secondsQuote:

Haven't noticed either my VE L76 nor my VZ L98 get to operating temp nor heater work that quickly & I don't warm up my rides for any length of time.
