some more parts to install b4 next tune

also had a go at smoothing the holes in bay, still needs a bit of work but getting there

this is the other side I cant leave like this now lol il start hiding and neating up the wiring at the same time,

Just got numbers on cam it’s 232/242/112lc I don’t know how big that is u prob know more than me all the numbers r confusing lol

He said closer to an 818 not a 1147 sorry,

so did a bit of polish on the inner guard, needs a 100mm air polisher to get in there, but came out a lot neater than it wasbefore!!!!!1

after!!!!!!!!!

got for transbreak,
for help sand the rest of the bay,I got another master too the one on is leaking so will change it while im going,

finally got around to wiring the transbreak a little nervous using it at the start but now is fun as!

finally got around to putting the lumpy cam in the vl,

machined lifter blocks adjustable cam gear ect im stocked with how it sounds and hopefully will get me over the 250kw mark

New box be ready in 10 days ready for a chop

car is now at painters had a bit of drama with ecu on dyno so gunna go e85 and haltech ecu but will concentrate on paint till done

all repro parts neally here its all coming along pretty good and getn exciting

Hey dougall wheres the transbrake skid vids ? Will look a heap better painted man , same colour? Doing bay aswell or

Yeah I’ve done a few in it but with the tune that was in it I couldn’t flog it too much
but yes very fun!
Yeah going same colour but painter has free range with metallic and pearls ect,
I will do the bay eventually not just yet,but I’m getting new exhaust done and a new haltech fitted and swapping fuel system to run E85 so injectors ect,
I really want a set of 1peice fr19s so trying to stick to a budget and get ready for powercruise , ur car is f@rkn mint too mate!
