The engine bay, That's where i started. I think the best way to build a car is from the inside out.That way you don't skimp on whats important, because a car without a functioning engine is basically a shell - respectively.

Haha lol na not yet, it's still fat as on the tune side, I've got a heap of little pain in the ass problems popping up,
Master starting to leak
Trans hated the new setup lasted 2mins
Strut top bearings are buggerd
Auto trans lines were leaking"fixed that"
Needs rear brakes"there squeaking"
And a general degrease and clean up!
I want to tune it now but short on coin ATM and now need a trans so see how we go, it should make around 200kw to 250kw I would think?
but the n/a stuff isn't an option any more is just not lasting lol
