Well well lets try and have another crack at putting up a thread about my car. I only hope this time it doesnt get locked.... not that im worried but feel as though I should keep the CT boys and girls up to date. So start talking **** and I will ask the mods to remove it myself. Car has been purchased. Harlaquin Cyan to purple in colour. There has been a slight change of plan with the engine setup. Luckily, should result with a few more horses The combo now consits of; Custom billet crank JUN oil pump Carrillo rods ROSS pistons JUN valve springs JUN valve guides JUN titanium retainers JUN cams 280 degrees, 11.35 lift Ferrera Stainless 1mm oversize valves TOMEI cam gears. Motec M800 ECU MOTEC CDI-8 ignition with mercury coils. T51R SPL B/B turbo JUN plenum with 90mm infinty T/B SARD 1000cc injectors SARD Fuel rail Cusom Exhaust manifold. PWR radiator and cooler. The block has be Cyrogenically treated (spelling?) - a frezzing process. Dakta sleeves, bored 20 thou oversize, line honed crank tunnel etc etc. Head has had major porting on both inlet and exhaust. A powerglide has been assigned to the task. 6500RPM stally, transbrake, custom billet gear set. Should be capable of a ridiculous amount of power but depends on how good it is tuned. Only time will tell. Please do not allow this to turn into another ****fight thread. So if you have nothing to say just shut your mouth and move along. Dont ruin it for all the other members that might have a particular interest in viewing the build up of one of Australias fastest calais. Pics will be up when I am ready. If your not happy just shut up and say nothing. For the time being i guess you will have to believe me... and if you dont great but dont say anything and ruin this thread. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what's with the plates? don't make much sense to me.... RB26DETT would be mucho cooler but a bit long Thing sounds tough, how long are you expecting to take to build? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Car was initially going to be ready for the summernats but now I highly doubt it. the plenum alone takes 2 months to make the crank 3months and in this industry there are always delays. I am still aiming for summernats but wont be disappointed if I cant make it. Will be ready early ealy next year then As for pics, when I am ready Ill post. Not interested in people have to say. If they think I am lying bad luck Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No one is judging your honesty you clown.. We all just want to see pics, cos pics are cool, otherwise its all just a load of writing which no one can be f ucked reading...

this does sound like a killer set up dude, bit different to your last one though! What stage is the build in? Have you sourced the 26 yet? If this cal LOOKS anything like your old one then whoa i can't wait to see it.
