    Thanks guys geez been a while between updates haha will have to get some better pics soon but in the meantime here’s some updates stole some mint rear quarter windows with nice black trims not faded and crap like most of them these days from a vs dad had with 132000kms put all new ybrakes on it standard rears vt upgrade on the front and some koni red adjustable rear shocks handles way better now

    Went to the local 1/8th mile drags with my brother for a bit of fun traction on the terrible old airstrip was severely lacking but made it more fun haha even made it on the local news for 5 seconds of tyre blazing fame lol

    Little skid video on the way home too lol

    Mans also got a new panther mica bonnet without a bulge needs a re spray but does the job

    Nope each bank is separate old school style did consider a merge and still might eventually but was just modifying what was there already to be a bit more street friendly for now although it would be way over the db limit feel better driving it with a complete system rather than hacked at the diff

    Put in some flanges before the cats

    Tail pipes and 3 inch tips painted all the piping in high temp flat black

    Been a while but the clubby has been unregoed since August finally got around to getting it back on the road and got it registered on Monday forgot how much fun it is :D anyway finally been able to give the new diff a decent work out certainly helped with its low down sluggishness due to the size of the cam she picks up a lot quicker and pulls even harder than it did from 3000rpm still needs a retune badly but glad to be back driving it again and annoying my neighbours haha really need to get around to starting a thread on my sv89 too but here’s a couple of pics
