Yeah really well... Just trying to figure out ignition set up to use... Ive heard good things about the crane hi6 aka Fireball unit. And there LX92 E-coil. But dont know as of yet... Other then that we ended up fitting a larger gas tank in the wheel well then I thought we could was gunna be 50ltr donut - about 43 ltrs fill up useable. But we ended up fitting a 64ltr tank in there which is about 55ltrs. Pretty stoked about that. Battery is getting relocated to under the car where the fuel tank use to be with a nice bracket made up. Ummm Gas setup is almost done, haltech will be put in the next couple of days, ignition setup then e-boost. Ohh and I just bought some vx gts rims which will be getting fully polished then going on.. And thats about it.. Fill me in on yours you suss mofo!

Fill me in on yours you suss mofo![/QUOTE] lol hmmm wats a mofo? anyway the crane ignitions are good. im told i dont need it as factory set up is good but i got 1 any way. my car is ready to go apart from the ems 8860 is not (waiting on loom) in yet im told definatly monday tho but what does that mean im told the same thing every week. But im very happy with the work thats been done ohnostly its beyond what i expected. im goin in tommorrow so ill take a camera and get some picks up. um wat else well ive lined up my mates calais for a good price and im gonna strip it for all the goodies including the vl director interior, only problem will be finding matching fabric 2 re trim my back wagon seat in. then all it needs is a respray but after 12 months off the road i think ill wait a while 4 that plus ive got no money. also i didnt realise you went the gas option interesting how come? sounds awesom tho and those wheels on a wagon will be like s ex on wheels good job! im just goin with the total sleeper theme looking at just some internationals boring but legal look good and keeps cops off your back.1 things for sure tho soon theres gona be some wagons freakin alot people out. cant wait!

Well it was either spend a shi t load on a good fuel system ecu or kill two birds with one stone. Going gas I dont need to worry about all the sh it like injectors, pumps, ecu. Just got a ignition only Haltech IG5, Twin b52 convertors (350hp each), Impco Gas mixer. Basically straight gas setup right ****s all over petrol options. And at 30c a litre I cant complain now can I. Ordered my Crane Hi6 and LX92 today, got it for $495 And yeah I doubt the rims will be on all the time. Just for special occasions etc... And MOFO = mother f ucker. ha ha Fill me in on your engine set up.... Just tell me one thing, is it n/a ? And yeah agree with the sleeper look. My wagon at the moment just looks like a stock calais. Calais rims and everything. Nice and snoozy! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Last time I drove to Melbourne, I did a gearbox! When I build my N/A I'll have some fun with the V8's and the stockish turbo's. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they get passed by a wagon with ATMO6 plates!

Yeah mate 2 cars run at once... You can do a race race, as in whoever crosses the line first or you can base it on the time you run. Cos obviously you might be sitting there spooling up for 5 hours and Im done but I could run a 11 and you run a 10.5... And yeah very much so up for cruising. Prefer that really.... And it will be even cos Ive never raced either! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
