Cheers, I used to be a stainless fabricator so I learnt a few skills doing that. Now Im a lowly dairy farmer who thought he was into the big bucks but at current payout... not so much.

 

Each year I say "Ill have it finished for this years ashburton street sprints" 

 

And then they come and go and I say "ah well, next year"

Thanks for the positive words. 

 

Yesterday i decided fuck it ill have a proper go at getting it finished. Luckily i have a supportive wife.. I rekcon itll be about another 16k to get it done. 

 

Have booked it in to have the cage done next week so dropping it off today or tomorow. Wanted to buy the gears and do the cage myself but my mig is a bit shit so not that keen to weld the cage using it.. also time factor.. i dont have enough of it so if i can pick it up with a finished cage once im back from my holiday in 2 weeks ill be stoked.

 

Got a  304mm AP racing brake kit lined up for it. Yum.

 

Then i just need to get the intake off glen, finish the plumbing of dry sump, cooling, and fuel. 

 

finish the welding 

 

Wire up, tune, strip, paint, re assemble, set up race.

 

Sounds easy. Ha!

Ive got a local guy to me who is going to wire up and tune it. He uses Life Racing ecu's.. 

 

Has anyone had any experience using them? I thought itd be easy to use him so i dont have far to go if i need work done in the future. And im a bit retarded when it comes to electrical work.

 

Or

 

Should i just go link like everyone else? 

 

Any input/experience would be appreciated... Remember whatever ecu i use I need 8 injector drivers.. 2 stage.. fuck yeah
