The diff is in. Driveline seems tighter which is nice. Paints lovely lines now too. Apparently the stock centre was pretty tired according to the shop who fitted it for me. Also helped a mate empty his workshop the other day. As a "thank you" he gave me a set of VL Calais wheels, Calais rear seat and a set of metal venetians. So need to get them refurbished and trimmed to suit my interior. ---------- Post added 05-06-18 at 20:59 ---------- Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Have started buying some parts to upgrade my fuel system so I can push a bit more boost. The plan is to get rid of the undercar surge tank with single 044 and go with a 3 litre surge tank in the boot with twin Walbro 460 pumps instead. So I ordered a surge and fuel filter from Nuke Performance in Sweden, worked out much cheaper than buying AI or Radium here in Australia. Parts were ordered on Tuesday night and arrived Friday arvo, not half bad for something from the other side of the world and a shipping cost of AU$5. Also slapped on some old stockies from the GTO and took the car for a drive. Has been far too long since I drove it last. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

**** yeah, looking mint, 11.1 is no slouch!

The gto rims actually suit really well! Those leather calais seats look to damn good to retrim!

Wheels work quite well in certain lights I reckon, but they desperately need 20mm spacers to bring them out a bit more, they sit too far in for my liking.

Bloody magic mate, love that dash, top job!

Looks the goods mate! Love your bay!

So more work has been done over the last few months. I finished up the fuel system, went with -AN8 single feed and -AN6 single return. Got some ID1300x injectors and installed them as well, along with an LS1 alternator so that I would have enough power to run the pumps and fan. Got it tuned to 25 psi, made 546rwhp through the auto, so pretty happy with that. And took it down to the drags tonight where I ended up getting kicked out after my first pass as it went quicker than 11.0. All in all, pretty happy with it at the moment Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got to be happy with that! i want that rear seat!

So with the last tune, we did run in to some limitations. The fuel reg was limiting us, and so was the no name Ebay intercooler. I dropped the car off with Rob who fitted a Turbosmart FPR2000 reg, he also fitted up a new cooler from PWR, this one measures 600x330x81mm so higher and thicker. Rob also had a new catch can setup made for the car along with a breather between rocker cover and sump. We also went from the old trusty XF throttle body to a newer AU throttle body with the idle speed control valve on the TB itself which cleaned up the mess of hoses and IACV which were under the plenum before. A retune later and she now makes 610 rwhp at 30psi and comes on boost a good 500rpm earlier than before. Collected the car tonight after work, and it drives mint!
