= 82.7 KW at the wheels




after all the time and hassle of the last year and a bit im now happy with my end result, a car that i can drive on a daily basis but when i want to wind it up to 6500rpm can go as quick as alot of modern "performance" cars.

im already considering larger movies int hee ngine compartment, but not for a while, in the near future the car will be seeing:

- new dash pad
- new door cards
- new shocks


now for some pics, all these are basically from the weekends dyno day :)

a little update, currently got around 5000km done so going to change the oil/filter in the nex day or 2. recently after more headaches got some new munro gt shocks in along with a set of noltec adjustable strut tops so currently running 1.2 camper on the front, can deffinatly feel the difference, even more fun through the hills now. (i'll try get some pics up soonish)


anyways just been driving the car when i get a chance and trying to get my moneys worth[88]
