February 2, 2020 at 10:02 pm #31286Looks good mate. It’s surprising how excited you get when you finally clean all the crap off after building a car for so long, I reckon it’s one thing to do if you’re starting to lose the passion to get it done, definitely gets the fire burning again
Your not wrong. I’ve been hanging since Xmas to have it together and rolling so I can wash it lol.
Paint is still “off the gun” from 10+ years ago. Still needs it’s buff. Can’t wait to see how that turns out.

Part of me wants it registered on the OG plates. But it will be going on club rego.

Posts: 5 777Really, that sucks, we just keep the regular plate, even if it’s personalised. Still for you a small price to pay for a big saving in rego cost.
February 14, 2020 at 8:41 pm #31368Had car at the fabricators over the weekend past. It’s all back now.
He finished off my exhaust making 2 sections. On with my LSA cats fitted and another bypassing them.
He measured my tail-shaft and made me a tail-shaft loop.
Fitted my anti roll, installed all the new bushes I supplied into my rear end. Installed my box control arms and Setup rear pinion angle. So ass end is basically sorted for now.
I’ll get the tail-shaft made next and then I’ll have to tweak some fuel lines as they clashed with the anti roll under the car. Pretty happy with the outcome.
Also gotta put some new springs in the car as she sits a bit low.

February 15, 2020 at 11:14 am #31373Hey Cav, coming along real nice!
Will you ever be looking at options to try keep the blower under the hood?
I seen on some US forums kong performance have released a tvs2650 rotor pack basically in a new case cast by edelbrock with the same dimensions as the lsa 1900 casing. sounds like the original Zl1 lid fits the blowers but what caught my eye was the new lids there releasing as well which should hopefully fit on LSA 1900 case in theory, and there for may clear the vr/vs bonnet height.

February 15, 2020 at 4:59 pm #31377The Kong dual pass lid doesn’t fit the factory blower unless you machine groves into it. That new blower and lid is killer. They are making great power with them
I could get it under without a scoop but have no interest in doing so.

February 20, 2020 at 6:47 am #31437Been having a play with the rear end since its got back.
Got my rear brakes all installed, nothing special just stock units that have been rebuilt and cleaned up, however they have to come back off as the handbrake adjustment is pretty bad, i forgot about that lol.
Also removed my old link pins for the sway since that’s no longer needed, and tidied up a few hoses in the back, now that i know final location of ARB. I also installed some Pedders springs which a mate gave me, this will raise the rear, give it a nicer ride and keep Mr Engineer happier.
