Haha okay then. So the N/a motor is hooked back up for now and will go through the pits with the N/a motor to avoid getting too ****ed around by vic roads. Surprisingly healthy sounding motor, revs are perfect aswell (weird since o2 sensor isnt wired up yet due to existing melted plug, fixing that today though - FIXED Front and back window are getting resealed today or tomorrow, depending on whether or not they've found new back window rubber. (old one had some yellow on it =[) Front window was missing universal mould =[ Fixed the ignition from the key, now starts every time ahhhh was such a head **** - FIXED Auto-elec is also coming today to hopefully fix my wiring issue, thermo gauage isnt working. Guess i need to buy a thermo switch which will turn on the 16" slimline thermo fan on and off between degrees of heat. Also looking for a VR CAI to use. Basically she is almost done, only real thing left to do is get the bumpers painted. Will get pictures up once the windows are put in and shes clean :P Looks nice though with new interior etc Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If by awwooooooga you mean air horn that is unroadworthy. But when i last went to "the pits" (its actually a bay) they just checked that i had some tyres and the engine number. Nice lookin car tho mate i like the yellow ones. have you checked the vin to see if its a bt1. Also why spend money on an exhaust when your so keen on slappin on a turbs?

yer the guy i bought exhaust off told me it had a catalytic convertor welded to it, but it was just a cat back exhaust, so i got my money back and just put on a catalytic convertor a mate gave me. Yeah i got a normal horn off the bumper off my smashed vl, havent bothered wiring it up to the orignal wheel yet, waiting for the bumpers to get sprayed, then get them put on.
