god damn piece of sh*t double-overhead cam......poor excuse for a motor...only good for fully sick forklifts. good to see its all happening for you EVL - engine bay looks a treat, hope all your gearbox issues become a thing of the past... what you've got going on here is 'an insperation' - i just prey to god that some scumbags will pay me my money for what they owe me so i can complete my engine......then we'll be cooking DOHC FTMFW u fags.

lol gregg hot x gf comment, would you go back after they'd pop out a kid??? Your saga started 5 years ago!!! Kinda the same time mine started... Alot of people complain of waiting 2 days!!! Or even months... How about years ppl!!! Chris you've done the right thing by doing things slowly, having patience and keeping quiet about your progress, now ur on the scene like a bat outta hell.... Once again, well done mate!!! You deserve what you've worked for and a good job on keeping humble! Regards Arie

nice one mate!!!! Keep us posted on how everything goes... Have you run the motor in yet or is Mick giving it a base tune to run it in with??? I advise running no boost controller just the spring amount on wastegate so the temptation isnt there... Or just put a grand total of the money spent on it and hang it off the windscreen... lol Got mine going today finally... made a lil video for it and posted it on youtube if you want to see? Dont matter how many times i play around with her or what happens... if the motor ever comes out I always **** HARD when i turn the key.... you know how it is... all those dollars spinning fast and hard and the thought of something going wrong!!! ARGHHH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKyl0RgWBmM Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good stuff dude, I'll check your vid out when I get home from work. I have already run the motor in, did around 1500km's on 6.4 psi (lowest turbosmart spring) and 4000 rpm max. Not too fun at all but after next Wednesday I will be smiling (I hope). The only thing that has been stopping me is this damn gearbox lol but hopefully all is well now. Yeah I know how you feel with the paranoia, I'm not installing any kind of car audio until I'm more relaxed with the feel & sound of the car haha

A'Men to that! Who needs a car stereo when your in ya baby anyways? I like listening to DOSE fm! lol but seriously... i have a lil crappy stacker and a set of 6x9's and thats the lot... just enough to be able to hear if the traffic is bad in a certain spot on the radio thats it... other than that im ALL ears on the motor most of the time.. haha

haha all valid points. I built a car pc to go in though, touchscreen, gps, movies, bluetooth, mob phone control, wireless network (updates all my music from my home pc everytime i fire it up). Wanted to make it a streeter to the max I'll hold off on putting it in though because i'm sure sideways fm will be playing for me Just watched your vid SLOW6 - sounds awesome can't wait to see her for real! congrats Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ive still got a few things to do now like get her buffed, get tint taken off, im contemplating putting in some venetians, what you reckon? Ive also got to put some of the dash back together and mount some gauges aswell as windscreen wipers and bonnet grill (which has clips broken on it so im scrounging for a new one or rather, one that aint rooted) Cant wait to run some C16 and hit 35psi.... see how she goes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm sure it will be fine SLOW6, mine blew heaps of crap when it first fired up (hard to see through the fuel though LOL). I also dropped the oil 4 times with in the first 1000 k's and cut up the oil filter to make sure all was well. Hope it is for you. Ol - Yeah car's back mate, I'm flat out this weekend finishing it off ready for final tune & also fathers day, but after that I'm free to help ya sort it!! UPDATE: EPIC FAIL starter motor has packed it in, i have to hit it to get it to start. Not ideal. lol
