mmmm black and red beauty!!! cool car!

used to love rolling round in my mates matt black carry it was aweseome hahaha..

if your front brakes are good enough rumor has it that these things can do nose wheelies under heavy braking! haha

DCCD in my Type R was so much fun haha

Well have been pretty busy with the old girl, got a deadline to meet so need to get things moving. Have been building up a chassis fresh paint, new ball joints, wheel bearings, suspension bushs, sway bars, springs, shocks, new fuel hard lines & hard brake lines. Getting close so will get some pics when im done. New steel is here from the states and thats all underway. Have got all my SB chev bits and pieces for sale because, iv bought a written off VT HSV Clubsport complete with LS1 power! 255kw factory edition. Can buy mounts to bolt straight into 64 as has been done plenty in the states. Plan to sell the 4L60E box as too expensive to convert to mechanical speedo drive ($500+), and buy a 700R4 or TH400 that can easily be made mechanical drive. Will be purchasing a new fuel tank setup for EFI with baffling and intank pump setup already fitted to save time/money fucking round with the brand new one I have with no baffling etc in. Aside from that will drop in, give a clean and a paint, remove power steering and aircon pump, paint up and tidy up, get ECU retuned minus AFM and VAT to make things easier and should be allgo! Engine comes with headers and full exhaust so will mod t hat to fit the car. So lots of work to do if im going to meet the deadline of getting the car done!

Yup Gull Hamilton has E10 an E85 on pump i believe

If your doing an engine conversion is there anything else i need to be aware of aside from doing things in a tradesman like manner and driveshaft loops? Nothing will need to be cut or hacked up to make it fit.

Say someone was going to convert a carb factory car and tank to EFI. Few questions. The factory tank is unbaffled and setup for carb obviously so only one fuel line to the front of the car, no return. Do you need a return line if you are going to goto EFI? Im picking yes. Should the factory tank be cut open, baffled and modified to take a intank pump or would a external pump be ok? Picking youll have starvation issues if you dont baffle the tank or put in some sort of surge tank.

mint! shall pm you!

cool thanks for that man!.

fml....lol the rear one has been smashed when it got put in the shed, so one of the pieces ill need when i get my arse into getting the thing sorted for the road
