Good for you Reub.
Great to see another person ignoring the attitudes of the transport dept and not letting them control what you dream up for your car. Would love to
see this beauty in the flesh, but pics will do for now I spose. Bet she feels fantastic to drive.
Enjoy...

Took me a sec yesterday to understand the sms. Congrats.
Went home looked at my chop, looked at the metal, looked at how much still needs to get filled. Looked in the back and wondered for a while what else
could go in that little engine bay.

Congrats Rueb!!!
When I saw this car in the flesh at Christmas time, it blew me away, I'm impressed.
So pleased to see it finally made it. Gives hope to all those who wondered if their ideas would be acceptable. Only they may have to shift to Darwin
to make it happen, ya gotta love the NT!!
Cheers, Ian.

Cheers for the feedback guys....
Am hanging out for Ian to come back over and give the electronics an overhaul. Will be interesting to see the results on the street and the dyno.
Unfortunately the engine has to come out as the clutch is slipping big time. Slow progression of the right foot allows for some pretty wicked
acceleration as it is, can't wait to feel the full flat to the floor accelleration.
I think 6lb boost is heaps enough, let alone the 18lb planned.
The car is scoring a Wolf 3d V4 plus ecu, MSD Dis 4 ignition and a secondary injector upgrade from 196cc to 440cc (that's the original 330-380cc
subaru injectors plus the addition of the 440cc injectors so there should be plenty of fuel there).
I'm also impressed with the turbo installed on the car. Has been a good selection I think...it's a vf23
