To be honest its not a hard thing to do, its time consuming as most things are, all you have to decide is if you want a dash mount type or floor mount then go from there, its definetely worth doing in my opinion. If theres anything else you wanna know just ask.
thanks
all good mate, i was very very close to debuting at summernats but i thought i wouldnt rush the last bits and finish it properly.

g'day kil-351,
the project of building the engine was taken on by me, from dry sump pan to cam covers, custom bits of billet aluminium pieces to all the stainless steel bolts, all parts and specs were sourced by myself and the package was eventually put together. There was some good advice along the way and some bad but eventually i think ive got it right.
There is a list of people to thank, i think i will put together a big post some time this week and run you guys thru the setup and who did what.
and once again thanks to everyone for kind words and support.
Steve

they think the car is a 'cheque book racer'
haha thats to be expected though, every time someone builds a car with a little bit of money in it, its either 'cheque book' or 'drug money'.
Jealous cvnnts. Who cares where the money comes from or where it goes, as long as at the end of it, we get to see car porn like ITSWAR!
the car took me 6 years to build guys, wasnt no over night thing money definetely doesnt grow in the form of trees or powder for me, hard work, dedication and sacrafice.
thats it
what pissed me off was the people that said 'its not to my taste, this and this has been done before, its not even original'
fkn why pick at a car to find negatives when its clear so much has been done to make it not just 'another VLT'
