Hi Gruebenfunk, welcome to the forum, especially to the Brisbane crew. You might know @KFuNk
We have a few things going on, check the events page seen in my sig.
Planning a BBQ in late April/early May, plus another, not yet announced minimeet breakfast catch up when @MISSMPS and @duglet gives me the update location.
Glad to here your happy with the car. Lots of info here, be sure to search the tech and mod pages for hints on mods and ask away.
As for a mechanic, I personally can recommend 2. For tuning and servicing I've just recently gone to Brisbane Tuning brisbanetuning.com.au: Home Page @MPSBNE put me onto them.
For suspension, brakes, exhaust (plus they service as well, but not my car) Muffler Mart Rocklea Google Maps Went there for our recent photoshoot. Bloody good blokes.
