not bad will come up nice. not sure on the tail lights though. and isn't the fuel pump a bit overkill for a n/a?

Be interesting to see how its goes and what power it makes. From the looks of that list it'll make decent power for an N/A. The pump can feed 600hp or thereabouts so defo overkill and the dash cluster fails like no tomorrow.

I find it hard to find words to describe your westy beast, it is freaky, if your only 17 full points for attempting this amount of work, I hope you get it the way you want.

lol the previous owner did the dash, yeah im been working on this since my 16th birthday and did iit all my self, to save money andd learn about cars lol. Yeah the pump and injectors are over kill at least ill know it will never starvee for fuel. and thanks for the comments boys stull more mods i wanna do to get more power out of it. but there more later down the track e.g light weight flywheel and RB25 head etc etc Quote: Originally Posted by patch its not too bad just hide all the wiring... also whats the deal with the blacked out gauges...? give her a good clean and she could come up okay also congrats on doing it all yourself at onyl 17 the 2 gauges what are black are those smoked gauges only see them once they light up.
