G'day, got a bit more done today, mounted the gear knob better, put the steering wheel on straight, polished the top of the manifold, mounted a ss lip i got for $20 and painted it :P looks heaps better now :y:

 

mounted the lip, just used cable ties as the bumper is different on ss

 

then pulled it off coz the tow hook went on the inside

 

 

motor back together

 

polished

 

put some new stickers on that i got with the tyres

 

 

few more things to do but its getting there, still have 3 weeks and 2 days :P

Car looks the goods!

 

For that intake though, would it be worthwhile extending the pipe to have the pod a bit further away? Perhaps tucking it closer to the headlight surround, but slightly lower, would draw some more air?

 

Either way, the vids sound mad and i'm sure it's an absolute hoot to drive.

Thanks mate, i enjoy doing it myself, it's coming along alright so far, just coming up with the money to buy the crap i need is a pain but it's getting there, can't wait to get in saloon cars, hopefully it goes ok haha :y:

racing today, weather looks a bit yuck but not starting racing till later so hopefully it will clear up :D

Good luck mate!! What kind of gearboxes do people use when upping the power in these things? The V6's I mean.

hey mate, i'm using a t5, saloon cars use t5s and they get about 300hp not sure about others though
