joms, can't believe how much bettter the car rides with the coilovers in, will throw up some shots of the car as it sits now soon enough...
fitted a weber 32/36
...yet to be properly tuned...
received some adapters!
no prizes for guessing what wheels are currently on their way... (*cough* porsche *cough*)
picked up some guages...
yep, out of...
...you guessed it...
a porsche.
and other general banter
unfortunately was unable to take the car to DOVW on sunday as the rego had lapsed (still on NSW plates), a nice police officer pointed this out to me...
so will be getting the car all ready for rwc and rego as soon as exams are done (less than 2 weeks)
watch this space.

Not sure how the engine mounts will be for daily driving dude. If they are as stiff as you mention I may stay away coz I'm scared my bay with filler will crack haha. You will absolutely love the car with the weber too, once tuned. Sorted choke out yet? And I love the gentlemen gloves

ok so here we go... a whole lot of photos and yeah, pretty self explanatory..
wheels arrived
extractors painted ready to roll
old vs new
blanking plugs for the injector holes, old vs new (old were hollow so had $2 coins blocking the holes into the head... :/ )
went down to menshed, a charity workshop a mate's old man runs
the adapters i picked up had been drilled through, so we tapped an M14x1.5 thread into two of them and got new wheel bolts to suit
test fit time...
new leads
rebuilt carb with new gaskets etc
the bay currently..
this pretty much all happened yesterday, that ripper 28 degree day... a whole lot of the fellas came round and everyone got stuck into the beers, and then sure enough we all went down to the beach and got fish and chips to top it off
should be going in for a roady test on monday or tuesday, once the rest of the system is installed...
...it currently sounds ridiculously awesome just with the extractors on but the neighbours weren't too happy about it
