Set up my Electric pump to flush the Trans cooler and lines, it blows through a Litre in about 10 seconds…

Bolted the lines up refitted the TailShaft and Filled the Transfer Case, that’s enough for today it’s warming up and very Muggy here..

I don’t think I could live in aussie, it’s to bloody hot for me.

It’s just over 28°C inside here with stuff all breeze and lotsa humidity and I don’t like it.  I was built for cold European winters, not this hot semi-tropical weather…..

I’m confused, thought you were in Australia?

[ImmortalityParticipant 97 HSV Senator 185i 02 VX L67 Calais View build HERE Member since: August 31, 2015 Posts: 535]

Looks good mate. What size intake you running. I’m chasing a pod like that. But in 5inch opening. How does that sock around it go?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Thanks Cav, it’s all 4″, before I got the Prefilter it would do one 2 day event at Swan Hill and be almost totally clogged, after the prefilter this is 7 months of competition including 5>6 Swan Hill events!

Yeah that makes a masssssssive difference. I never seen them before. Aside from the ones to suit the round carby type filters.

Do you know of a 5inch inlet filter but the equivelant size to yours?

Been doing some reading in the states and they are getting great gains by going 5 inch.

I’m piecing bits and pieces together. Got my MAF card and billet MAF Mount on route from USA.

Just measure up how much room you have then go to the K&N site and find one that fits!

Same page has the wraps.

Get a part number then look on eBay for the lowest price!

The Car felt good moving it around today, Stall is enough that it’s not pushing against the brakes at idle but moves instantly when you touch the throttle.

Gears are all there with 0 delay on selection something no amount of tuning in the 60 would achieve, car even rolls better in neutral engine off than it did before, it was always a bit draggy.

Looking forward to finishing it up and running it next month!

Reverse pattern Valve Body is going to take some getting used to but should be good.

What made you go reverse?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Couple of reasons Cav, it’s full manual so in a forward pattern to get to 1st you need to ratchet through 3rd and 2nd, also there’s a chance of missing the 2>3 shift and clicking it into Neutral..

I just have to channel my inner V8 Supercar driver as they shift forward for down and backwards for upshifts..

Early start to try and beat the heat, Made a gauge mount for the Fuel Pressure and Trans temp gauges (better than the FPGauge jammed in a hole and hot glued) then set up the new Springs, reinforced the Front Airdam mounts and they were getting flogged out being put on and taken off so many times! Got all that done and serviced the Tonner so didn’t beat the heat at all..

Looks like i have a bit of catching up to do!!  So whens the next event?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

24th and 25th Feb but there’s another 2 day event near Mt Gambier on the 17th and 18th I’d like to do if I’m ready in time!

Mt Gambier is a great spot I reckon, used to love going there when my son was karting.  I assume that’s a dirt event?  So sounds like its getting pretty sorted now?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Nah it’s a Tarmac Hillclimb at Port Macdonnell, really don’t know yet as it’s only been in and out of the shed once, I have a few Electronic gremlins to squash then I’ll see, the 350 is as good as I can build one with no corners cut so fingers crossed!
