looks hard :duh and I guess it should at $10/L 😉
hey are you running aeros up front?
well done I wish I had your focus
Where did you get the engine lid from, I've been looking around with no luck.
a/f is good,the msd cleared up the rev range,it rev's nice for a 1300,so nice that we were spinning both 19's hard last night,it was raining though.
as for the extractors it rev's clean and sounds tough for a stocky,we were abit razzled by how good it is.
did anyone notice those lovely custom badges on the side,nice touch from the work temp (school kid on holidays)
i will try to put up some more pic's tonight,it's alway's the way when you want to work on your own car,not enough hours in a day.
down sharon.
hers is the wiring guy,i think there might be a srew lose
not bad for a few night's work,after all it is only the shitter
i wil try to post some video's of it running on the 3 step,it sounds cool.as cool as a stock 1300 can anyway
down sharon.
yeh they are aero's up front and i have no idea what they are at the back.
as for the rear deck lid i think they go for around the 2 to 250 mark i am not 100%,if you want i can u2u his number to you.
so far the paint job has cost me about 80 bucks ,that includes,$10 for bog ,$32 for paint ,$6 for dropsheets,$12 for sand paper, $20 for lunch for the boy's doing the work.
the look on everyones face that asked if it was the same bettle they have seen parked out the front of the shop every day for the past year,and the fact it was only painted in pressure back.
PRICELESS

hey are you using duzs fasteners to hold the guards on? I spend way to much time checking out this thread 🙂
Brad
I hope you didnt get cigarette ash on the wet paint
would spoil it LOL :blah:blah:blah:blah
yeh those fastners keep the whole car together,
as for the cigarette ash ,the word on the street is that it is cheaper than pearl and doesn't need to have a clear coat added after.
i think it the little touch's of cigarette ash, sorry i mean white pearl are what realy makes a shitter complete.lol.

fun in dub's
cheer's.
i have put the post's on hold while i am waiting for engine parts.
while putting the motor together we hit a snag,i need longer barrels,i thought i might need longer barrels before we started,but me being stupid didn't think they would be that hard to track down,famous last words.lol.
hopefully i will post up some more pic's soon.i am at the mercy of UPS.

most i my engine stuff has arrived,so we might still have time to get it all together for warwick.
there has been a small delay with the 48's.the machinist fucked up bad.he caught an edge while milling them out to 51's,story of my life.
i will post up some pic's on the weekend of the engine build if i get a chance,fingers crossed.

Do you know what the front seats are out of ? or what they are ?
the seats and frame are from scat ,they are about ten years old,but they still rock.i took them out of the wifes old car.
down sharon.
work has started again,new plates for the car have arrived,fibre glass front end is ready,so the fun and games start again.
warwick is still the goal,but i am still in need of a few engine goodies,they will be the deciding factor.
tomorrow i will make the fuel tank,and the tilt supports for the front end.
down sharon.

That tilt front support is fantastic, as is the new fuel cell setup.
Gets me motivated to get to and modify my tilt front support and my new radiator setup.
Great work mate...
