Hey guys, Its been a while so a bit of an update: Firsly here is the audio install i did a fair while back: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=171893 Car passed rego a couple of months back easy as piss, this is how it was at the time: Then came a couple extra little mods: Next was a set of 18's and some king spings in the rear, pedders in the front, new struts in the front, all with 1 coil removed. And all 4 gaurds modified to suit lol. Then it was out with the standard: And in with a few more HP: Still an N/A but got some work done. Has 10.5:1 compression ratio (90 thou taken off the head i was told), ports opened up and matched, polished exhaust side, 35/75 cam grind and adjustable gear with heavy springs. Obvious stuff like adjustable fuel pressure reg and better leads. Fuel pressure at 42PSI with stock fuel system. Also running a falcon throttle body and modified stock plenum, 3" intake piping and 3" pod with stock afm. Got an exedy standard clutch in it which does ok. Here is a video of the engine running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I62A2U77z_s Wasn't fully up to temp and the engine hadn't been in there long so i didnt give it too much revin. Engine pulls hard, good enough for a daily till i get my supra on the road Cheers Daniel. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bit of an update: Not properly fitted yet: High Fill Primer: Venetian Red: Fitted: Its a genuine front but all the eyelid brackets were broken so i had to dodgy it up for now, fits OK and looks sick, just doesnt pop up, but the lights still work ok like that. The colour didnt match too well Only done with pressure pack (properly in acrylic, will do for now till it maybe gets a respray).. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers guys, I love the idle but what a dog to drive! lol.. major PITA to drive on the street, but fun... Heres a video of the response of the engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUJFZYFLFFs Probably not that great haha i can't really remember what my old VL used to rev up like (stock motor)... the limiter was set to about 5800 but it reved up to about 6100 there from 1500.
