Nice, rims let it down a little imo, but always been a fan of that colour. And it looks like a very nice setup. What kind of power are you getting?

I hate chrome rims, but I actually don't mind them on your car. Nice choice of engine. Glad you kept the Calais colour down the bottom too. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have a video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpvLyfxfVGQ) I had just installed my new intake pipe and gave it a run.

You have an adjustable cam gear on your exhaust cam - are you still running VCT on the intake cam?

Me too. Good move. Do you have larger version suitable for a desktop of the main photo (Photomotive)? I'm really digging it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Very nice. Now just needs some real boost. I take it your speedo isn't set up yet? And you've got plenty of diff gears to choose from with the BW78 under your car. Any idea what ratio you're after? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Stivva... I'd take down that video. If someone see's it that knows your area it shows how to get to your house. Hate for it to get pinched. Sounds good though.

I wound the boost up this morning... much better, but a bit hairy. WOund her back down again. Going with 4.11s, should be alot easier to get going with those.

Saw your car at the C4C meet at Latrobe Uni Bundoora as you were leaving, looked tops.

Thanks mate. I was glad I made it today. Just not happy it was not finished. Have not got a power figure atm. I am not all that intrested just yet. Gotta rip the manifold off and go high mount before I go for power.
