August 27, 201016 yr Author comment_463353 some sidways shots, also i am a 2nd mechanic by trade, so everything done to this car was done by me, was dead stock when i bought it 2 years back Edited August 27, 201016 yr by trikzlane Report
August 27, 201016 yr comment_463362 Nice! A lot of work in there! Does the adjustable panhard make much of a change? Report
August 27, 201016 yr Author comment_463374 feels heaps tighter but the main reason is when you lower a ke70 the diff pushes over to the LH side of the car which upsets the handling, the ajps adj panhard rod allow the diff to be bought back into centre Report
August 27, 201016 yr comment_463377 Some nice specs there, Next time I see this around I will come say hi. Report
August 28, 201016 yr comment_463601 Is this out at archy sometimes? Why didn't you just put a 20v into it with all the money you spent on head work and internal bits, would've been cheaper and you would have more power, and aren't they green p plates in the photo's? Report
August 30, 201016 yr Author comment_463930 in theory i could have put a 20v in, but i don't like 20v's, + this motor can handle 8psi, so if i decide to go turbo it will last, and yes i am green p plates Report
August 30, 201016 yr comment_463932 Is this out at archy sometimes? Why didn't you just put a 20v into it with all the money you spent on head work and internal bits, would've been cheaper and you would have more power, and aren't they green p plates in the photo's? and a 20V needs alot more cash thrown at it, ECU =2k or so, and all the dizzy/cooling mods=not cheap. i like what your doing with it trikz, looked tough when you had it at my place a few months back, looks even better now.

August 30, 201016 yr Author comment_463952 thanks dave, hows your car going, bet the front feels heaps better now Report
August 30, 201016 yr comment_463956 yeah good mate, considerably better with the new front thats for sure. Report

August 30, 201016 yr comment_463989 Yeah but look at the money he spent on the motor, IMO it just makes more sense to me to put a 20v into it, fair enough you don't like the 20v mate your car i'll shut up now haha, it's good to see at least one 70 out at archy every now and again :P Report
August 30, 201016 yr Author comment_464274 yes i do drive this on the street, its my daily too. the reasons i choose no to do 20v is the total build for a 20v is like 4000 to have it running, this cost me around 2000, big prices difference, plus its way easier to make a 16v turboed then a 20v Report

August 30, 201016 yr comment_464290 You do know that it is illegal for a P plater to have an engine conversion. ive no doubt he does. i belive mr trikzlane has rebuilt the engine himself as well. i think hes an engine builder apprentice/trady? so rebuilding the 16V woulndt have cost as much as you might think SLW.
