Few changes to v8 NL fairlane

[micka_bailey]

Recently decided to get rid of the conchorde rims and went for the stockies with chrome dress rim, nothing too fancy but will do for now. Also put a pod filter on the end of 90mm maf, making cuts around the pod to fit it into a standard air box and have noticed a bit better flow than my k&n panel filter.
Was able to finally send it to A.P.S. last week for a full day of tuning on the dyno and getting everything right, they were able to get another 25kw out of the motor, with timing being out and adjusting mixtures.
End of the day ended up with 137.3rwkw and 883Nm of torque, nothing huge but was pretty happy with the outcome, with only mods being 3.9's, stage 2 box with 2,500 stally, exhaust, 90mm maf and bigger throttle body

With change of wheels car went from this:

Bloody nice fairlane man, and damn good power figure for so little done, hope i can get mine to look like that one day lol, only thing is im not sold on the tail lights as yet apart from that it looks great

Thanks John i appreciate it mate, i was the guy who came round when me n Andy Tant tried to lower the lane n the lower control arm popped out haha.
Thanks aswell URZ2NV, it isn't a massive figure to get on a dyno but was pretty happy. Haha it doesn't look that great yet in real life, still gotta fix couple things to get it really nice. The tail lights look better in person, makes the white in the lights stand out just that little bit more but each to their own. Thanx for the comments

Tail lights look better on the darker car, now im debating to i go V8 or Turbo, leaning towards V8 after driving my mates XR8 last night.

Love that colour in the Nl's, looked better on the first rims I reckon. My dads trailer has black stockies with dress rims..

LOL!! Yeah the guy who does my exhaust said he got a pic of his old HD with those wheels on em haha!! But if you got the money to keep buying 16x7 tyres, at just over 200bux a throw for quality Hankook tyres, be my guest.

Well considering I've been buying 18x8 and 19x8 tyres for under $200 each for years and never had dramas, Im sure you can get 16x7's marginally less, but in saying that, I dont buy for the brand of tyres...

Yeah what i kinda meant by what i said is i can't really justify buying 16x7 tyres for the price, no matter what brand, they going to cost bit more because of the irregular size. If i had 18s or 19s, wouldn't be complaining because their worth the money.
