i found that the alloy flywheel was far too light, made doing any kind of hill start a right pain as the motor would just bog down. was great for high engine speed changes and such but lost too much of the motors momentum when changing up gears or taking off. got to the piont of double dipping the button clutch on take offs to prevent mass bog down, or just high rpm clutch dumps, both worked. one was more fun 

Got the head back after its accidental trip to perth and back thanks to a bad courier company. will be getting back onto it tomorrow night hoping to have it running by the weekend. oh and i lowered the front over the weekend now sits level with the back, no more leb lean

Hahaha, leb lean. I like that phrase!

pic of the almost level ride height, with the 15's on. should look much better with the mini 13's
 

Also had a decent step forward in progress tonight, will hopefully have it up and about this weekend then off to the tuners one night after work for the finishing off of the tune
 

 
just got the hang the hotside setup, plump it all in, plug in some plugs fill it with oil and we are all go, hopefully

I seriously dig this car.

Quick question, what offset are the 13 x 8s?

thanks mate, 13's are a +3 offset, would fit in std arches with a 185/60 tyre, my diff is just a smidge wider than factory tho.

ITS BACK

this week has been spent trying to get the front alignment correct, easy task i hear you all say, well ive had it all apart about 5 time in 3 nights. installed a new swaybar with extra castor, it was way too much castor. to the point of my tinny 13" wheel setup hitting the guards in the straight ahead position. so shims were placed infront on the control arm on the castor bar to reduce the castor. still rubbed, but now only on lock. next problem ive had was running out of tie rod thread due to the track being widened so much by the adjustable lca's. so rack extenders where fitted, making the rack now too wide. long story short removed more castor, cut down rack ends to get rack width closer to being correct. have it booked in to aligners on saturday
