bubalu: good 2 hear they are top injectors im gonna be running them in the stroker when i turbo it. just running group a injectors while its aspirated cos i only want about 400hp at the wheels 2 cruise the rest of summer and a few shows till i turbo her. lowbstvl: yeah i reckon the kit looks mad i was a bit iffy but once it was painted and bolted on it finished off the car, really suits the colour i reckon. epitath: good to see u didnt sell it, cos u prob would have regretted it like i know i would have if i sold. we'll have to go for a cruise with a few ct boys as soon as mines finished im so excited cos its the closest i have been to the car being finished. i did nothing to it for like 6 months and saved like **** so i had a heap of cash to finish her off.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats good power for a t3 it shows what a good fuel system and tune can do, a mate has a t4 with a custom rajab rear plus a built motor, big cam etc. but stock injectors and ecu and it only makes about 210rwkw at 10 psi with a computer and injectors it should be 250rwkw plus at the same boost, John.

Built the motor,fuel system,ecu etc etc except the turbo.can't wait to get that sucker on, just have'nt had the time.hoping for around the 280rwkw mark would be nice.

CANO: i changed from the original 9 sec turbo package cos of a relationship break-up and built a milder, cheaper combo, then i decided to put a stroker in it and supercharge it cos i wanted to be a bit differant not like all the sheep that build cars like everyone elses. UPDATE: It will be at the springnats this year, i still have to relocate the fuse box, get rajab to wire a microtech into the stroker, fit headers, finish a few little detail pieces off, polish it and drive the ****ing wheels off it. It was running for a week with the standard ecu and a crs wiring loom but it kept stalling missing when you put the throttle down, so i have decided to get a microtech fitted by alan that will solve those probs once he tunes her up, plus then i can run a supercharger, bigger inj and my twin throttles.... will post pics up soon

Just finished putting most of the interior in, will also post update pics over weekend well you have loads of cash, hence the drug comment, and you never stick with o ne idea and your consistantly changing things, hence the 365 pairs of undies, i would assume you would change them everyday and not want to wear them twice..
