Awesome cake !!! on my birthdays all i get is family members coming up and asking me when im gonna get rid of my 'crappy old car' and get something 'decent' .. none of them have been game enough for a ride in the passenger seat as yet tho !! haha

What are you doing with the heater plenum ? are you gonna use a bolt on arrangement ?

lookin great!! these winds are really f&%ked up at the moment damn near blew me off the road !!haha

happy Bday, that cake looks great were u sober enough to see it on the night?[88][88][88]

cheers

Looking Good Rhys!

That heater dome!!!, i guess it will never rust coz leaves will never get stuck but you would be getting alot of hot air from engine going straight in to the cabin no matter what.

Michael

Have you done something to your tail lights to make them look almost black? Suits the car..

Cheers for the Birthday wishes.

The fan thing is exactly that, the fan. It looks like that with the plenum removed, pretty ugly at the moment.
I've got a fibreglass plenum but it still needs painting but pic attatched is pretty much how I figured I'd set it up. clamp at bottom with a screw at top on either end with some rubber stuff bit like wetsuit material but waterproof inbetween the mating surfaces.

Cable ties are only temporary. Just making sure all my wiring is correct before taping it up. They're a top invention the old cable ties!

Colour is Velocity Blue, on XR6's and 8's.

Haven't raced Russ yet, running it in still so he'd have an unfair advantage. Will wait till its injected and been dyno'd so then I can't have any excuses.

The tail lights always seem darker in photos, they are tinted but no where near as dark as they seem.

Think I covered it all.
Got ya email Alastair cheers.

Rhys

How did you black out your taillights ? is there a special paint that you can buy that is some sort of tinted clear or something ?

As it looks damn cool.. and i wouldnt mind doing the same to my tail lights..

So the brake lights / indicators / reverse lights are still clearly visible when they are on ?

Cheers.

Tail lights came with the car many many moons ago. But I remember a guy a work bought a spray can of lens tinter to do his vl commy a few years back.
Pretty sure thats whats been done to mine, just sprayed on the inside.

Yeh they are still quite visible, obviously not as good as a brand spanking set of new lenses but would say theyre pretty easy to see.
Might see if I can get a pic when the weather fines up.

Rhys

Cool, ill have to go and have a chat with the local paint shop

You get rain in SA ? i think we've forgotten what it looks like in QLD !!
