hmmm going manual for a start and guess e-series engines werent built to take over 6,000rpm (stupid lpg)
i wont be as harsh on the au engine which will be dedicated petrol
just wanna run better than a 15.4 n/a
but anyone who knows me knows if i break something i do it in style
Pulling the lane off gas n taking off the tow pack guess these items will be for sale soon

the plates were just the icing on the cake

Location-Mt Cooper in Bundoora
Rims-There only on till something better comes up
Highway-Always out cruising sure to see you out
As for the lane it hesitates when i go full throttle but ease into it and its fine??
needs timing to be looked at so anyone know how to tune these au engines with distributors fitted?

This one is for the ebay user who decided to use a pic of mine to sell his wheels without PERMISSION
Then he went on to say this was his car and he took the photo 3 weeks ago
Just want to say i took the pic late feb 2010 as seen on page 5
Wonder how many people on here can back me up in saying that this is MY nl ohh and its black not blue

Yeah well after all this its time to get back to the build thread
final things to do on the lane are exedy sports heavy duty clutch,lifters dial in the cam
get a dyno tune and i'll be happy with 155rwkw then take it to the track and plan to get a 14sec pass
And thats where this build ends..
Then find a new project..

Well the lane i picked up from the Panel shop and noticed they had blasted some of the decal off and then denied it and i had no proof so i called around found a guy that does the decals and hope to have them fitted by afd
So at work i blasted the rest of the decal off and it looks so wrong
So the lane will either have the decals on or it wont by afd
but heres a pic as for the rear bar it came up nice

And the mods to the lane are nearly complete as its a daily
Mods to complete

*Re inforce Firewall
*Vernier Gear & Dial in Wade Cam
*Dyno tune
