thanks mate as for the rims, i dont want to go down the path of rolled guards, spacers, grinding etc. on the look out for some 2nd hand 15 or 16's, no chrome but. so if anyone has some, pm me

wassup393 - when i put that pump in, near all my hoses leaked! had to retighten all the clamps, the pump isprobably overkill but is a good safeguard. have sent you pm...

that is one different looking ET with the astra tail lights and no wing

im guessing you have some serious traction issues with the std rims n tyres

very tidy job indeed

HOT!!!

Nice power figures. You got any times out of it yet? Very tidy indeed.

i was going to say that looks heaps like yours panda

yeh tho i have jetspeed sideskirts and 17in rims. i like the milano/astra tailights but i wont do it cos of this one i dont wanna copy.

thos this one looks neater paint wise than mine lol

hay man i love the car damn straight but i must say with microtech and fj injectors you are only making 17hp more then me. but looking at the ARF it looks like the fuel pump was stock. heaps of potential. i like it

Looks good champ, go the spoilerless ETs

Fat ride man, matt black engine bay looks tough as, very neat job with it.
Whats that inlet manifold, doesn look like an import one?

yeah its the jap spec manifold, i just made some blanking flanges to cover the holes when i pulled the sensors off.
the engine is out at the moment cause my block cracked, i'll be adding an oil cooler this time round.

i like the matt black, don't have to wash it down so often!
still gotta do something about those wheels...

hey that looks good as i love the stockies on it, it makes it look lower.
very clean and makes very nice power
