SHGWAG Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Whut? Are you serious? I'd be over there so fucking fast if it was good to go after all this time. Boss leaves for Czech Republic on Tuesday, meaning I'm taking over the $28million Project we're on = 12 hour days at the office & no chance of leave. Wish I could get over there sooner.

SHGWAG Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Picked it up yesterday. Was a bit under the weather so nana'd it back to the workshop in Hamilton. Took it out for a drive this morning. It's got an impressive pull from 3000rpm onwards, making around 210kw atw. No traction in 2nd, and you can't put your foot flat in 3rd. This is probably caused by the lack of wheel alignment and old tyres. Hits 140km a little too quickly... Doesn't rev quite as happily as I want it to, but this is just the run in tune. Got the bug back, in the next few months this should be road legal. GANGSIGNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHGWAG Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yea, no skids for the 1st 1000kms, I've heard fresh engines don't like the limiter. Won't be legit by nats, but should be comming down in something oldschool + Turbo if all goes to plan. I left this thing locked up in the workshop in Hamilton, to stop me from being tempted to drive it & getting massive fines. Decided to write up a to do list to Help me remember what needs to be done before the Cert: Securely Mount ECU & Ignitor Sort fault in Passenger side window electrics Reinstall Passenger door trim Reinstall Back Seats & Seatbelts Install Momentary switch for scramble boost Wire scramble boost switch Remove front seats & Bolt in Buckets Reinstall glovebox Install/wire gauges & Gauge pod New Sealed Battery Box with vent to atmosphere Sort exhaust noise level - Silencer / extra muffler Replace rear left shock absorber Reinstall heater box Decent cut & polish New wider rims Fit full body kit?

SHGWAG Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Chucked the Chin Spoiler on: Threw a second Rear Demister switch into the centre to use as a scramble boost switch. Also threw the back seat in + seatbelts. Put the steering column cover back on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I like how this looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 delete side indicators, that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Need to tidy up the front bumper. A mate has some red polish which should bring up the paint to a fairly nice finish. This bonnet is poos, so will be chucking on my other one at some stage, and will sticker / stencil bomb this one for lols. Side indicators get deleted if I put my kit on, but like how it looks atm. Front guards are in urgent need of being rolled, scrape any time I go around a corner. Might chuck up some more pics after work tonight if I get time.

rot808 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 9/10 i like everything about this but you lose one point for saying bodykit instead of more slam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 More slam is do-able once I've lipped the front guards. Can wind it down another 2 inches roughly & still maintain decent suspension travel. Also on the agenda are wider wheels eventually, as these ones just don't quite fill the guards enough for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 A few pics from last weekend after the suspension has settled: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 maybe the pics aren't showing up properly for me, but it looks as though it's not doing skids in them? anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Haha, no skids untill it's run in. And I know how much you guys ragged on Deaf Rattle when he was doing skids in his car and fucked it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
