i never really liked the look of chasers without any form of kit, but i like this

how much did it cost to get the hoodlining done? and does it go all the way to the back or just front half?

ha saw this at glenns when he was putting my old stinger into a mates hilux

na def worth it goes fuking hard

and dom, cortina was never going to hit the spot you were just doing it to prove a point

il come up after work and we'll finish it

def go reset, its the same price as blocks ( or cheaper cost me a bottle of rum haha)

can also get a leaf added to stiffen it up a little, i reset mine 3ins and theyr dead flat but a little soft so im getting another leaf added when i get it on the road

yeh i got 13x7 on my panelvan best looking 13in oldskool wheels imo, gota have the fat 215s on at least as well haha

shit and i thought everyone was over the cut spring bullshit years ago

how can it be lower and still captive.. never understood that theory

haha its not a theory it just depends on the spring length compared to stock 1s

yeh just springs as theyr were stil captive i think lowered it 2ins from memory

u have to go custom springs for front try snells springs in onehunga mate got his made there for his hunter, it rode pretty good

yeh it also adds a little bit of safety taking boost ref from the turbo or as close as possible to the turbo, because if you take it from the inlet manifold and have a leak some where in the intercooler piping the turbo could overboost and fuck it

white smoke is either water or burnt oil

i work for the auck service haha

i got some on mine with 235/50/13s, before lowered it would have still needed at least lip roller, but im now 3ins lower and had flares/guards widened 30mm

i found my bosch bov leaked above 10psi or so

my aim is 250 to 300rwkw and i think im being a realest there ( at the mo with shit tyres and with it poping off on the dyno 179rwkw )

but as im getting into alot more track work with this car i would like a turbo with like you say a good compromise between power and lag

and the moment with abit of guessing boost comes on about 4000rpm and above ( i have the ebc set at 5% gain )

so yea something thats not to laggy but still delivers power ( make sense? )

i may be confusing myself more by also asking this but how much would a decent exhaust manifold help the situation?

yeh something must be wrong if its coming in that late, mates chaser has like no lag, just run 2 28s be sweet haha

some new pics

yep theyr interferance mate rooted a 25vvl head

opps meant like copies, barry did run copy turbo but was 1 of the better 1s, now runs masterpower

just same as any other asian turbo, mate got a "bolt on" kit for his gsr, nothing was right

owned this for about 4 years, but have only begun to make any progess on it this year

has a 1600 engine out of a mk2 cortina gt in it

came on a set of 5.5in wide hotwires

found some tyres 2x215/50/13s ok cond and 2x215/50/13 brand new

then found some 7in dished hotwires they came with 2 stuffed eagers and 2 good condition 235/50/13s

how it sat for most of the time

most of body stripped back to metal and work begins on front flares

f

illing gap 30mm wider

all primed up

rear flares taken off, leaves reset 3inchs back in nice and boned

im running 7in hotties on my panelvan both front flares are done. 30mm wider

rear will be even more
