I was reading your build thread the other day and trying to think of something to post. But I got too jealous and gave up...

However, it must be said; Your car is the nicest all-round A70 I have ever seen mate. Super-clean inside and out, nice parts freaking everywhere, suspension work, BS amounts of power...

I'll stop there, but have to say I really admire your attention to detail. Keep it up :) (And buy a damn camera - a half decent one costs like $150 now...)

The only use I have for Toymods is to sell stuff. (someones gotta want those brand new Tananbe front shocks)

I am sure this thread will rule, purely based on the people posting in it. :icon_razz

Cheers dude, I like all the stuff you have done to yours, especially that aerial setup you have, how well does it work? I want to ditch the aerial which has been disconnected since 10 minutes after I got the car

Finish tuning mine then enjoy it for awhile :)

Sounds like a plan.

I need to read up on your thread to see what you have been upto, though I now find out I am in Melbourne for work all next week and the week beginning 7th July. Bit of a bugger as I have a few more things to get done before my car gets stripped in Mid-September (current plan anyway) with estimated completion date of Feb

BTW IJ checked out the engine bay painting pics, it looks time consuming but very do-able so mine is getting painted too now.

Get mine done aesthetically by ToyFest... And finish the rest of my bpu's and get her on the dyno again... Easier said than done when you have a newborn... Good thing she is quickly learning to enjoy the garage!!!! :D

Well it works a lot better than having no antenna, but this particular one is a bit crap TBH. Fine in the city etc. where fm is strong, but otherwise not so great. I just use the CD stacker 90% of the time. I have used a similar setup on other cars which have been fine - I think this antenna is not so good.
