Yeah do that mate, I'll keep an eye out. I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far though.

The front mount is coming along alright, a bit slower than I'd hoped though. Just waiting for the engineer to finish making the pipe from the throttle body to the cooler piping. That's the only one I was missing, managed to buy an angle grinder and get the piping through.

Even when it's all plumbed up, I won't have enough cash left to drive it lol.

Check out the Water Power thread in Unrelated Media 8).

It's more of an additive than an alternative though.

Yeah I know a bit about it, not so much about bio-fuel though. Hydrogen power was on Campbell Live last night, was interesting. Can get a whole kit installed for $675, guaranteed to save you at least 25% on your fuel bill or your money back. With the hydrogen system you are basically just sending electric charges through the water which makes the gas burn more efficiently.

Also it IMPROVES performance, I'll be the judge of that lol.

Why are people getting fully hecktic and getting orgasms by seeing this cordia in primer in a shed and in a unfinished state. It looks like a road wreck when cars are in the process of being painted. I can only imagine what kind of responses i'll see when this cordia is fully painted. Just dont go to crazy just yet.

Uleh....who the fuck do you think you are? Umm, Roger alert!!

Haha typical thing retard roger would say..

The reason being is we have so few Cordias over here, especially GSRs, and VERY few of them have been modified, or even have a set of rims! So to see Brazza's Cordia progressing from a stock GSR to a phat GSR with a body-kit is very exciting to see. Mainly because his Cordia now puts him up in the top ten amongst the best GSRs in NZ. There's only a few around the country with a bodykit, nothing as unique as what Brazza has gone for so my hat goes off to him.

I love build up pics...cheers Brazza for sharing them with us. :) They always look like a wreck during the preparation stage but if done right, it'll look a million bucks once it receives a lick of paint. Mine looked like shit and was sitting around in the crash repairers for 4 months, I was spewing! Are you keeping it blue?

Good to hear mate, I think she'll look shmick in blue and silver. You see it's this sort of thing that makes for a community of cult car owners. It's just like the guy I spotted the other day, we were opposite each other at traffic lights and before he had even pulled up, he had his thumb out the window sayin g'day. You don't see that sort of thing from many other car owners who bump into someone with the same car. I know it's a little off topic, but i'm just saying you've got support from your fellow enthusiasts. I'm not so sure that the other "guy" is in fact an enthusiast at all. Look at the likes of Bizta and Evo Power, they could be stand overs if they wanted and carry on about how good or fast their cars are, but instead they choose to encourage us because they know we love our cars just they way they are... that's what makes a community

I just hope that gets through to... what's his name now "cordia2ENVY"
