MeTsU's 9N3 TDi - Sooty from South Africa

[MeTsU]

It has finally been ordered. After 1.5yrs, I've finally decided on the setup I wanted, had the budget to purchase and placed the order.

Hopefully you guys will understand why things have taken so long for the Cup Edition front bumper to make it onto Sooty.

I guess you could definitely say that, it should aid in getting the power down.

I just checked the tracking on my package:

"Your item arrived in SOUTH AFRICA at 8:21 am on May 10, 2011".

[MeTsU]

Hell yehs!

"Your item is being processed by customs in SOUTH AFRICA. Into Foreign Customs, May 10, 2011, 2:37 pm, SOUTH AFRICA."

Now the wait begins. I'll be giving the SAPO (011-961 6000) a call with my waybill number tomorrow. They will convert it to a local II number and then I will be able to track it's local journey.

JK8, a ridiculous amount. The Cup bumper arrived months ago, end of Jan, beginning of Feb. I had to put painting it and other items off until this current package had arrived and has been fitted.

What I can say, is that it's a rather heavy set of items, and they are on their way to my local Post Office. I should hopefully have them tomorrow.

Thanks mate. I can't wait to get it on, but I first had to get my new clutch setup landed. I'll hopefully start work on it next weekend. And in the next couple months I will get the budget for all the paintwork I want to do.

After a long time planning and building the budget. Then having to use the budget unexpectedly on the Cup bumper etc. It was a roller coaster ride to get to this point.

I present to you - a SPEC Stage 3+ clutch and steel SMF flywheel - with the torque capacity of 783nm.
