nope caloundra body works done the bumpers well here is my bay complete bar dump, what do you guys think about the last 3 cyl leads, if i run them around the front #6 is short and has to go over the rocker cover anyway, so this way atleast its neat and tidy, i used some spacers so they stay even. and also i have a turbo beenie so the leads wont melt.

well i lost motivation, but got it running good today, removed the 440cc and replaced with NA injectors, running NA ecu. runs perfect took it for a drive wound the reg to abiout 40 psi, made 11 psi boost. felt **** fast, only done it twice, didnt ping at all. then my drain popped off, now there was alot of splatter is that normal? its like it popped off from presure, it was a strtch to fit it though so im just hoping the clamp was loose, but i cant see how it would splatter... any who i only plan on running it like this, and not boosting it, to get RWC, then install my LT10s and 440cc then tune. and yeah. me so horny right now.. **** it was fast lol.
