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 :)























thought id throw this in[88]
