I love the dump tip. It doesn't help that it's not hanging right and that it's covered in dirt from paint prep.
Picked up the intake manifold on Friday night, pics up soon
So this is the Plazmaman intake we picked up on Friday night:
And the gorgeous billet throttle body:
Which when mated together and bolted to the motor look something like this:

It'll be running, and for all intensive purposes look complete, but I've opted to trailor it just to be safe

Major problem now is that the CAS and intake runners look like turd. Looks like they're coming off before Melbourne

The car is just about done at Pro Street meaning we'll probably hear it run (albeit pretty poorly) by the end of the day. The auto leccys have been going gang busters and have turned the job around in two days - f*ckin legends.
The AFM is being hidden under the driver's side gaurd, meaning it's closer to the throttle body which will tidy up the bay and hopefully make the car run a little better.
The wiring for the headlights has been hidden behind the gaurds on both sides:
All the wiring has been run for the sensors. Geez I'm glad I'm not in the middle of that mess!
The wiring for the computer and gauges is being sorted out inside the car. Once again, I'm glad it's Harry holding the soldering iron and not me:
And by the time I left it looked like this:
The radiator and fan shround were in, the radiator hoses were on, fuel lines had been plumbed up and most of the sensors were all wired up. It should be running by the end of the day which means a ride to Pedders to fix the front end after we pulled it out a few weeks ago, and then onto 2SUS to have the body finished.
