Hey Ben,

I like your car, it looks great.

If you aare after wheels, get good quality wheels bro, that latest thread on SAU scared the shit out of me.

How did you crack the block

What oil cooler are you using?

yeah i saw that thread aswell, will definately wait till i can afford a decent set.

i got the kit shane at cms was selling a while back. i had to top mount the cooler in the engine bay as i had nowhere else i could fit it. i'll get some pics up soon.

checked my oil after a drive out in the mountains one morning and it was thick light grey sludge, still ran fine crack was only very small. just bad luck i think

here's the dodgy oil cooler install, hopefully it will get enough airflow. i butchered a couple holes in the body to get the red pipe to meet the hole in the jetspeed bar.

I got some from Super Crap Auto for $25/meter.
Remember up at the gold coast when you were looking at hte V8 in the Commodore? That blue pipe I had between the pod and the throttle body? Same shite. Completely flexible so you can make your own "bends" in it.

well i've had to wait a week and a half to get in for a tune. but its all together with the new engine (replaced cracked block, new head so i'm back near standard compression)

the new head hasn't been ported like my last one so will be interesting to see what drop in power there'll be. added the oil cooler and replaced engine mounts aswell.

fingers crossed...

But it is screaming for some rims!

The more I look at this car the more I like the look of it with those stock wheels...........
I dunno, it seems to work with the plain white and the panda bonnet.
Prolly a bit skinny atm.....dunno........its got me that car tho!
Makes a big statement without "screaming" it out. Hard to explain!
