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.

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

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.

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...
