Thanks guys,

Stevo,
T
he cast manifold with the draw through SU was an original garret unit. I sold it last year.
The sieera injection setup has a custom steampipe manifold. I will be using this on the car once I have passed rego and cleared it with the engineer.

Wade,

The fibrelass guards I bought from Geoff Wade. Check the forsale section. As will all fibreglas panels, dont expect a perfect as they have taken a bit of work to get to where they are.

Shea,

Thanks Mate. I like the lowbacks as well.. Opens the interior right up. I am now scrapping the green car so I have the custom interior from that with retrimmed RS seats, however the lowbacks suit the look I am after better.. It is wierd looking at it through the rear windo though as it looks like there are no seats... :)

Woohoo... It's on the road.... sorta.

Currently has un unregistered vehicle permit for the purposes of testing before RWC.

After 12 months I must say it brought a huge grin to the face hearing the webers roar during my Sunday morning testing.[88]

Have a small few things to finish before RWC.

Exhaust from diff back.
Speedo cable - celica to 6dial.
Temp guage not working.
Fit washer bottle.
Drivers side high beam.
Inner door handle bolts... Have no idea where they are? Cant match thread with anything I have....[x2x]
Make + install rear parcel shelf.

Thats about all of the main things.. Will leave a few for the inspectors to find so hopefully thet dont find too many others.

Thanks,

I'm running the standard 1100 non boosted MC with 2lt front discs/calipers and 9inch drums on the rear. I just cut and reflared the pipe ends to suit the metric ends. It pulls up fine.

Forgot what it was like to drive a car with a sports steering wheel and no power steering. [:0]

Wow,

Had to drag this thread up from page 5. After driving the car around on permits on and off for the last 6 months I finally got my ar5e and got a RWC today. Just have to wait for the backlog at VicRoads to get it registered and then the fun can begin....

There should be a few more updates on this in the near future.

Officially registed and insured as of today....

Has been a long time without an escort on the road.

Let the fun begin
