Have done nothing..we have no track again for yrs, i cbf till we do.. Ive got a white berlina with red interior ive been building for last 4 months.. ive Painted bay and if i wasnt working all this weekend i would have been dropping motor in.. Has my 31 solid sohc motor and glide. but i put a modified (to clear solid cam rocker) vlt stock intake on it and a modified stock exhaust manifold that ive had ceramic coated and has a 48mm gate hanging of it and welded spacers. has a 67mm billet prototype t3 turbo to have a play with new microtech lt15 with 6 ls1 coil setup.. No e85, just another WMI 98 octane setup, hoping for 9s in street trim Ill do a build thread soon.. Yours is rad..if i didnt have the rb30 sitting around collecting dust..id do the same! cheers darren
