looking good man

good to see progress man, and glad you choose to take it to Danny, cant go wrong with the Kit Kat. keep the progress pics coming. Kelvin (ex DOSEIT)

Car looks great, perfect ride height! What paint did you use for your springs, and did you do anything special when painting them? I'm wanting to paint some King springs black before putting them in my wagon so they don't stand out so much, but I'm concerned about the paint cracking and chipping off when the spring compresses

Some people said it might chip off but i havent noticed yet. Just stripped them off and gave them a few coats out of a can seemed to work fine. The stripping was such a nightmare i didnt do the front springs left that for a later date.

I was hoping I could just spray over the yellow as they will be brand new

i used this rust kill black paint your suposed to brush on but i mixed it with some thinners and sprayed it no preparation needed, used that stuff all over my car

Just use a reasonable paint and it will be fine. Cheers Marty

I gave my new springs a scuff up with some scotch bright wiped them down with pepsol/degreaser and sprayed them black 4 years on and still sweet as jerkins lovin the mags one of my favs for the vl

Cheers man, soon as i saw a pic of them on a VL i knew it was what i wanted and couldnt be happier with how it looks now. Finished fitting up the piping for the intercooler. Got the bumper all back together, also got some air horns from pick a part to replace my tired old horn that sounded like a screaming goat. Stealthy as unless your crouched down and purposely looking for it. Piping in the bay all sorted. All i need now is to set up a dose pipe, blank off the BOV fitting, stop being a lazy fcker and wire in the ECU and im good to go muzza spec Engine bay could also use a very good clean. First stop when i get it driving again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Its way more stealth than that but the flash reflects back and reveals it really well. Once i get it up and running i was thinking about painting all the piping wrinkle black and the rocker cover wrinkle red.

Hmmmm wrinkle black ...I know what you mean my wag when I had the small cooler on was the same very stealth unless you looked real hard

what size intercooler are you running

its a 230mm h x 600mm w

Bovs are insulting lol. Dose ftw

piping and cooler looking sweet. Did you get exhaust done as well?

Yep its a 550x230x65 intercooler. Got 2 1/4 (i think) From Kelvin that i was running NA and danny modded up dump pipe i had to fit that. Got a resonator and HSV muffler dont know how it will sound but probably take out the resonator. Quote: Originally Posted by NZ_bt1vlt [View Post] Bovs are insulting lol.

AHHH mega derp moment. Yea next step is getting rid of the resonator, on the hunt for an LSD setup and some rear disc brakes. Any one done a conversion to disks from drums? Managed to finish up all the wiring on sunday afternoon and kicked into life straight away. Starts gushing oil, which turned out to be oil feed to turbo catching on the turbo housing and not sitting square, easy fix. Turned it on again and running sweet. Did a few laps and went down to the servo to fill it up. Decided it take it on the motorway out to see my mates. No worries cruising for 20 minutes then just dies and wont kick again and wasnt getting any fuel. Took me about 10 minutes before i thought of the fuel pressure regulator solenoid that i wasnt sure if needed wiring in. Turns out it did. Kicks back into life and im away. Cant get enough of the hectic spooling sounding like a jumbo jet lining up for take off. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

awesome man, boost bug has hit ya. It bites hard Matt, start saving pennys for boost mods ha. You going to be at power cruise with it?
