Shaved handles

Looks like a good project you have started..... good luck with it.

I know its just a dummy fit but..... you have the turbo oil drain part on the turbo pointing outwards. The oil will never drain back into the sump like that. That needs to point straight down.

I like the shaved handles.... It'll look great with some paint.

[haggard]

hope fully by autosalon in august man so a few months my engines getin built atm doen a 1.7 stroker so fingers crossed for 300hp

[raddavey]

I'd go to Autosalon just to see this car and I rarely ever go to autosalon.
Great to see someone going to the effort with the body and paint, if I had a decent shed at my house I would be painting my car as it's something I've always wanted to do.

There aren't many Et's or Exas around Perth I rarely ever see one mainly the odd EXA. An ET cruise would be great. I use to go on Pulsar Group cruises all the time.

P.S I don't think you'll crack 300hp with a t25g. Look for at least a T28 which should do it but it'll need decent boost 25psi+

Hi Haggard,

did you use MIG or ARC welds to fill the holes in the bay?

cheers

haggard can confirm but is mig, would just become hole city/pain in the arse trying to use a arc

[raddavey]

Probably a MIG but it could be done with an ARC using small electrodes (2mm or less) and low current with some care.
