Well, had the car out today for first time in 18 months....good feeling. Many thanks to- *Greg for all his help with the motor build, parts sourcing and after hours assistance!...what a champ. *Jason for the moral support, the running around and the help with all the fiddly sh1t i had given up on, like the seat rails and brake booster!.... *Nin for being a hectik muzza through the whole process and for organising the paintwork. *Ian of I and J Paint for the paint job! *Zhelkjo from Zhelkjos Auto and Panel (08 8186 1122) for the exhaust work and use of his wkshop. *My brother Russ for the detailing bits and pieces and for clearly pointing out I cant sell the car. *Matt from Quality Motor Trimmers for the top trim job on the Scheels. *Tyson for hooking me up hard to get little genuine bits and pieces. Cheers to anyone else that has helped directly or indirectly at any stage with advice and parts (6BOOST, JETR31, DUZ360, SIR5.7 etc). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah man, very happy, only problem I had was I over-filled the trans and its pushing fluid out the breather... Its just on 7-8psi and i only revved it to maybe 5000 once or twice but goes very good considering, very responsive especially with bigger stall.

In a few weeks i'd say, i'll get a few hundred kms on it and wind 20psi into it...Im not putting more than that in it as i want it to last this time...

Quick update...had touch up tune last Thursday, car made 270.3rwkw on a smidge over 18psi, still nice and fat up top (11:0)...could have leaned it out and wound the boost up but was happy to get it off the dyno in one piece after the luck ive had previously... No word of a lie, with the 3500 stall, DUZ360 manifold and Rajab plenum, the thing is an absolute tyre shredder compared to the old low mount setup and 2800 stall, its so responsive...changes lanes on its own...Lol, good fun.
