It's a Boy!!!

Kai Sebastian Underwood

Yep, we had a beautiful baby boy last Friday 21st. Both mum and baby are now back home and just settling back into some form of routine now. Photos etc are here:

He's a little champ.

Code Red...Velocity Red...

Rear Quarter Panel

Sorry for the delay in getting the pics up, but been a busy week. Anyway, these were taken last week at the painters, so haven't seen since they've buffed it up. For those who don't want to read back the colour is from Mazda and called Velocity Red. It's available through most of their model line up from the Mazda 3 up to the RX-8.

Red will certainly make this faster:
- Rear Quarter (passenger side)
- Rear Quarter (driver side)
- Rear View (passender side)
- Rear View (driver side)

Nissan 200ZR-II

On another note, I'm looking to move the Galant Sigma Turbo on. Have had/known here for over 13 years and she's clocked over 300,000kms (160,000km on its current rebuild - done by Malcolm Crockenburg, the WA Ralliart arm). And this is by no means set in stone (needs to be cleared by the Finance Ministry), but C-Red have a beautiful late 80's piece of machinery that I've been eyeing off since it landed in mid/late 2004. It's a 1988 Nissan 200ZR-II Fairlady, in Silver, running an RB20DET ECCS (standard engine for this car) with some light modifications. It needs a bit of a clean up, but we've cranked her over and she starts first pop and Jeff has had the rust cut out too so that's a bonus.

On 18's and low, she sits beautifully, although it's a bit too low at the moment:
- 200ZR Front
- 200ZR Side/Rear
- 200ZR Targa Roof
- 200ZR RB20DET ECCS Engine Bay

If anyone is interested in a great reliable bunky (with aircon, CD player and recently fitted Mitsubishi FTO sports seats), send us a message.

Car back in the workshop

Well, it's finally happened. The car is now back at C-Red after a delay with the painting. Would have been back last week but C-Red are chocka with work at the moment so there was no room.

Will be sitting down tomorrow and working out a plan of attack on what's missing and what needs to be done and ordered. Going to be more disassembly straight off the bat to get the sub frames and under side of the car up to scratch - I want it fresher than the day it came off the production line.

Might have to treat myself to a drink tonight methinks.

Cheers
Brendan
