Supercharger - massive power gain. Not cheap but great value

The T5 in the LTD, made the barge a lot easier to haul around! Either that or the triple batteries and the 80L fridge/freezer

You put a manual in did you. I always thought your Battlestar Gallactica looked great. Do you have any pictures of the interior??

Thanks mate, I put a manual in ages ago, there were only 1 or 2 manual LWBs around at the time! As for photos, I'm quite shocking, I'm a photographer yet I hardly have any decent photos of the thing. I have a fairly old photo that I took like 3 years ago, it hasn't changed a great deal though. It will be soon though, it'll be VERY different.

I'd have to say all of my mods have been almost equal in value (to me) but I think that putting on slotted rotors and a set of bendix pads was the best decision I've ever made in regards to mods on my car. Previously it was just plain crap under brakes, but with the newer setup it takes approx 2.2 seconds to go from 200km/h to 100km/h. Well worth it, pity they still ended up cracking under the punishment LOL.
